ROSES.

" L,a France." 



We offer this magnificent variety in The "Gar- 

 land " of Roses, which we show in colors on the 

 back cover of this Catalogue — which please see 

 (No. 12). ¥e cannot speak too highly of this 

 superb rose, which every year becomes more 

 popular. Flowers large and beautiful, either in 

 the bud form or when expanded ; peach-blossom 

 color, shaded pink and silvery rose. It is very- 

 free blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful 

 flower. In addition to this, it is entirely hardy, 

 with a slight protection of leaves, and most de- 

 liciously fragrant, thus combining in a marked 

 degree all the qualities of a perfect rose.

This is another of the varieties which we 

 deem worthy of a place in The "Garland" of 

 Roses, shown in colors on the back cover of 

 this Catalogue. (See No. 6 in The "Garland.") 

 This grand old variety, when used as a bedding 

 rose in summer, has no equal, as it produces 

 the most perfect flowers in the hottest weather. 

 Its rich, flesh-colored flowers are of immense 

 size, are produced in abundance, and have the 

 requisite form and substance to withstand our 

 hot, dry summers. Exquisitely fragrant.
