For splendor, beauty and impressiveness the red Rose stands 

 preeminent, and among the Hybrid Perpetuals the J. B. CLARK, 

 shown above, is a variety with real merit. 



Among the more recent introductions in this class should also 

 be mentioned Hugh Dickson, Barbarossa, George Dickson and 

 Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. 



Can you imagine any flower more exquisitely appropriate, either 

 worn singly or in display for the most important occasions, than a 

 freshly opened bloom like the above? 



Important celebrations and state occasions are coming more and 

 more to depend upon the Rose for its decorative value, satisfying 

 the mind and heart, as well as the eyes, of all observers.
