THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES--=-Concluded 
MADAME BUTTERFLY—(New) Is Hill’s glorified sport of 
Ophelia. Seen and admired by thousands. All the color tones 
ef Ophelia are intensified, making it a harmony of bright pink, 
apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at the top in popularity and 
Madame Butterfly will surpass it. It averages more petals 
to the bloom; it produces more bloom to the plant because 
it makes more branches, every one carrying 2 bud. The tight 
buds are a lovely shade of Indian oak, yellow at the base; they 
are unique for corsages and for low table decorations; the 
opening flowers are perfect in form and texture, clear and 
brilliant in color and of delicious fragrance. 40 cents each;
