fragrance, magnificent in color, being the deepest degree of ruby 

 crimson covered with rich velvet bloom. It is the highest per- 

 fection yet attained in a rose. 



Soleil D'Or (Golden Sun) — A new hardy yellow rose of 

 robust growth, charming in foliage and exquisite in flower, the 

 coloring of which is gloriously superb, vying with the rainbow 

 or when the Golden Aurora kissed the Rosy Morn. 



The most popular rose today is that beautiful creation of the 

 Rosarian, the American Beauty, a joy and delight to all beauty- 

 loving people, so stately in form, charming in color, and delight- 

 ful in fragrance. 



Our New England homes should be made beautiful by plant- 

 ing about them the choicest roses, the royal queen of all flowers, 

 for the love of a beautiful home is the heritage of our race. 

 Poets of every land and age have sung of the pure joys of hav- 

 ing blushing roses and beautiful flowers. It has been the dream 

 of every toiler in our cities to have a quiet home near the restful 

 hillsides and under the spread of shady trees and leafy vines. 

 Where else can nature's charms receive full homage, as in the 

 beautiful country homes, adorned with tasteful gardens of 

 blooming roses and fragrant flowers ? Where else can the tune- 

 ful harmony of our inward natures resound in unison with the 

 sublimer music of creation, wisdom and goodness?
