 in profusion of bloom. From early Summer until frost 

 it may be depended upon to produce flowers in abund- 

 ance. In color it is a rich, glossv pink, delightfully fra- 

 grant, and is such a strong grower that it is almost im- 

 pregnable against tne attacks of insects, which usually 

 destrov some of our finest Roses: thus it is certain to be 

 unequaled for the garden. Price, 10 cts each; two.year- 

 old plants. 35 cts each.
