(Jos. H. Hill Co.). 

 Sport from Columbia. Brilliant velvety 

 crimson-scarlet, much the tone of 

 Hoosler Beauty, never blues. Not so 

 full as the parent, but very lasting and 

 with June-rose fragrance. The foliage 

 IS ample and beautiful. No forcing 

 Rose makes so quick a comeback as 

 the Red Columbia, consequently while 

 It Is not so full as the parent. Its big 

 crops of gorgeous red at Thanksgiving 

 again at Christmas, then at Valentine's 

 Day. and on up to hot weather make 

 It extremely profitable. Price- Own 

 root $150.00 per 1000: grafted $2.50.00 

 per 1000.
