Bourbon Roses.
Champion of the World
When this Rose was introduced a number of years ago it was given a name that seemed not only appropriate, but descriptive of great achievements. The blossoms are deep rosy pink, very fragrant, and come freely over a long period. They are very large and double. The plant is hardy and vigorous, and flourishes with little care. A splendid variety and considered one of the most valuable of the group for bedding. Under good cultivation this Rose becomes one of the largest in the garden, and there is no other Rose growing which will bring to mind so forcibly the charm and beauty of the old-time gardens from which sweet nosegays were plucked for the belles of long ago.

At the present time the "voice of the birds" is whispering that Mrs. Degraw and Champion of the World are possibly identical with, or very similar to, that good old Bourbon, Pierre de St. Cyr. [As grown alongside of each other by V. H. Hallock & Sons, of Queens, N. Y., and critically compared at different times by leading New York rosarians Mrs. Degraw and Champion of the World have been pronounced distinct. ED.]
As the latter has about gone out of cultivation, it would be a boon to the country even if its re-introduction should be with another name. What is wanted is a good set of ever-blooming roses that are fragrant and hardy.

New Rose
Champion of the World
(See Illustration on Cover.)
This is, in all around good qualities the grandest ever-blooming rose in cultivation.  For winter-blooming it surpasses all others; and as a winter-bloomer it stands without a peer among flowering plants.  It flourishes and blooms freelu when all other roses fail.  It is the
Champion Bloomer.  It commences to bloom as soon as potted from the propagating bench, and continues in the greatest profusion all the time, both Summer and Winter.  It is claimed that one plant of it will produce more flowers during the year than ten plants of any Tea Rose.  It is always in full bloom.  Plants which have bloomed all summer in the garden may be potted in the autumn, and they will immediately start new growth and bloom profusely all winter in any window.  Returned to the garden in the spring they will again bloom all summer, without intermission.  It is truly a perpetual bloomer, never without flowers.
Champion in Hardiness.  Though a perpetual bloomer it is as hardy and robust as an oak, standing the severe winters of Vermont, where it originated, in the open ground, without the slightest protection, and commencing season of bloom earlier than any other sort.  For a hardy garden rose it is as valuable as it is for pots.
Champion in Fragrance.  It has the most delicious and powerful rose fragrance, which is maintained during the whole year.  Its perfume in December is as rich, delicate and sweet as it is in June.
Champion in Vigor.  It is the most healthy and vigorous rose in cultivation for its handsome rank foliage has never been known to mildew, under any condition, indoors or out.  It is absolutely mildew proof, under any and all conditions.  It is impossible to make it mildew.
Champion in Form and Color.  Its blossoms are perfectly double to the center, and of the most perfect shape, both in bud and blossom, while its color is a degree of loveliness which few roses can equal, being a rich, deep rosy pink, darker and richer than Hermosa, and a shade the delicate richness of which is seldom seen.  Its size is very large for an ever-bloomer, often as large and fine as La France or the best hybrid perpetuals.
For Winter-Blooming.  This rose surpasses all others.  It will flourish and bloom profusely where all other sorts fail, and is just what has long been wanted, a fine free-flowering rose for window culture during winter, which will succeed with any one.
Price—Strong pot-grown plants for winter blooming, 25 cents each; 5 for $1.00, by mail, post-paid.  Extra large plants, by express, 60 cents each; 3 for $1.50.
