Victoria Tricolor — Is one of the most vigorous and 

 prolific bloomers we have. The first year it will put out 

 small blooms, according to the material it has. The

 plant will be fairly deluged with bloom. It is also 

 fragrant. Though the flower cannot rank among the 

 finest, yet it is very desirable. 



Victoria Modesta — Is a very fragrant flower, borne 

 on a long, strong stem; outer petals pink, inner ones 

 white. 



E-eine Victoria — Is a fragrant pink. These, three

 on account of their fragrance and vigor should not be 

 omitted. 



Zoe Callot — Is Grandiflora Rosea on a smaller scale. 



Grandiflora Rosea. A fine flower with light pink 

 outer and inner petals. 



Zenobia — Is one of Terry's. A full double rosy crim- 

 son. 



Zonvon — Is a deep, dark, bright flower from Holland.

 ones from Kelway's list :
