COMPRISING 
THE “CASH ERE ZF eOUECTION 
“ Who has not heard of the vale of Cashmere, 
With its Roses the brightest that earth ever gave?”’ 
(It is not generally known that the Monthly Roses are seedlings of the Rosa Indica, the 
Roses that inspired the beautiful lines of Moore quoted above.) 
HE ‘‘Cashmere”’ collection of twelve ever-blooming Roses contains, 
Cc in our opinion, the best dozen of ever-blooming and bedding varieties it 
is possible to obtain in that number, all being invaluable for summer 
and winter blooming. Space will not permit us to illustrate all of them, 
although each is worthy of it.

Clothilde Soupert and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, these Roses are not hardy in 
the North.
