F90SA.L-IIMD and SIL-VI^S^ 



ROSALIND (A glorified Ophelia). The particular value of this variety lies in its exquisite coloring, which Is 

 entirely different from Ophelia. When the buds first show color they are bright coral, changing as they develop 

 to apricot-pink, and when fully developed they are a most beautiful shell pink. The flower is much more 

 double than Ophelia, having at least one-third more petals. It is also delightfully fragrant. In habit of growth 

 it is identical with Ophelia, from which it is a sport. Rosalind originated with us two years pgo, and, grown 

 side by side with Ophelia, is far superior to that variety. See Page 387, this issue. 



Awarded first prize at International Flower Show, New York, March, 1917, for best new rose. 



Awarded additional silver medal at same show for display of Rosalind. 



Awarded silver medal by the Horticultural Society of New York. 



Awarded silver medal by the Tarrytown Horticultural Society. Also numerous certificates. 



SILVIA (Yellow Ophelia). Another beautiful sport of Ophelia, originating with us. The buds are long and 

 pointed, beautiful sulphur-yellow, changing to creamy yellow as the flower opens, and when fully developed, pure 

 wa.xy white. It is an unusual rose when fully expanded, five inches in diameter, and resembles the popular 

 hardy climber Silver Moon, showing the same pronounced cluster of yellow stamens in the center. Exquisite 

 in bud and unusually distinct and unique in the open flower. 



Prices of above two varieties, strong plants, 2'4-in. pots, $25.00 per lf>0, $225.00 per 1,000; 225 plants for
