THE SENSATIONAL NEW DWARF ROSE, Madame 



Levavasseur. — As a pot-Rose for greenhouse or window it has no 

 cii.al. for beds and borders it is simply a mass of crimson the wliole 

 of the season, producing such a grand, telling effect that once seen is 

 not readily forgotten ; it is very hardy, and will thrive in the poorest 

 soil. Only grow about one foot high, and bloom so profusely as to 

 entirely hide the foliage. The foliage is of a beautifully deep glossy 

 green, and is never attacked by disease It flowers in large clusteis 

 from June to November. It' is always in bloom. ThisRo-e«ill 

 prove invaluable for bedding purposes and for pot culture. It ii.i^ 

 already obtained the five following Prizes, viz. :~Paris Exhibiliun 

 ( May), Large Silver Medal ; Paris Exhibition (November), 1st Class 

 Certificate of Merit by the National Horticultural Society of 

 Krance ; London (.April), 1st Class Certificate of Merit, R.H.S.

RARE LOVELY ROSE, General Schablekine.— See Dean Holes refer- 

 ence to it on page I8.t of his book, " Our Gardens." Lord Brougham 

 describes it as "caring neither for cold, damp, sun, or mildew," 

 and he declares " that if a law was passed that one man should cul- 

 tivate but one variety of Rose, he should, without hesitation, choose 

 General Schablekine as being without a rival, flowering con- 

 tinuously, with 100 blooms of equal merit on a plant." He says — 

 "Of all Roses it is the most faithful and generous " Is. 9d. each ;

 Miss M. SCARLE, Norwich, writing: Nov. 1st, says :- 1 am glad

Extract from "THE GARDENER," January 18, 1908:-" If I 

 were restricted to one Rose I would rather leave out all the other 

 hundreds than Dorothy Perkins. In the first place, I know of no 

 Rose so beautiful and yet so willing to do its utmost. This Rose 

 will astound you by the vigour of its growth and the prodigality 

 of its bloom. For sheer brilliancy it far outshone anything else 

 in the garden at the time and made a wonderful display."
