Pink Roamcr — Bright rich pink. 



Manda Triumph — Double white. >

 such as: 



Brenda — Peach blush. 



Green Mantle — Bright, rich pink. 



Mag. Merrilees — Crimson. 



Ninth — Rosa Rugosa. — These are valuable for hedging, also largely 

 used in shrubbery groups, where they make a grand showing, both in 

 flowers and berries. The leading varieties are : 



Rosa Rugosa Alba — White. 



Rosa Rugosa Rubra — Rosy red. 



The flowers of the above varieties are single and of large size, often 

 used as a garnish for ices. 



Madame Georges Bruant — Is a pure white variety, flowers semi- 

 double and an everbloomer. 



Tenth — Moss Roses. — You all know these old-time favorites, and 

 many are the gardens in which one or two may be found. 



The Crimson Globe and Perpetual White are the two best varie- 



ties. 



I thank you for your kind attention.
