New Hardy Pink (The New Mound Pink)— This

 ie perfectly hardy and blooms very profusely

 tire summer. The flowers are a very delicate 

 blush pink, and deliciously fragrant. They

 roots. Price, each 25

 when In full bloom in early summer, is one of the

 are actually hidden beneath a great mass of 

 flowers, which are borne on long, wiry and grace- 

 ful stems. The flowers are from 2 to 3 inches in 

 diameter, some of them even larger. White, pink 

 and red are the predominating colors. They are 

 especially valuable for cutting, the flowers retain-

 ported from one of the large European growers of 

 these plants.
