THE HOR TICUL TURAL A D PER TISER. 19 



-WHITE BON SiLENE ROSE- 



As a rose for general purposes no one has lield the supremacy so long as the red Bon Silene. The one I now offer 

 is an exact counterpart of this, excepting the color, which is pure white. It would be like gilding refined "old to say 

 more, except I may state that it originated with me four years since as a sport and it has proved the equal of its parent 

 fcr winter forcing. Florists have now an opportunity of possessing themselves of a rose which will supply them at ali 

 times with quantities of pure white buds. 



Price, for fine strong plants from 5-inch pots $2.00 each ; $20.00 per doz. 



Strong plants from 3-inch pots $ 1.00 each ; $ 10.00 per doz. 



Strong plants from 2 inch pots $5.00 per doz.
