PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



"AMERICAN BANNER." 



NEW STRIPED TEA ROSE. 

 " American, Banner." 



The cut hardly gives a fair representation of this novelty, 

 one of the most wonderful, in our opinion, that has ever oc- 

 cured amongst plants. It originated with Mr. Cartwright, a 

 florist of Dedham, Mass., 4 years ago, and I purchased the 

 entire stock; so that, until our Catalogue for 18T9 was issued, 

 we held the exclusive stock. It originated in a "sport ' 

 from Tea Bon Silene, but bears no resemblance 1 3 it what- 

 ever, except in fragrance, which is identical ; the leaves are 

 entirely distinct from any other rose, being small, thick and 

 leathery. That it wiil remain constant in its striped charac- 

 ter I have not the_slightest doubt. We have had plants of 

 all sizes budded- and on their own roots, growing in all con- 

 ditions; and every flower, without exception, has held ex- 

 actly to the marking shown in the Cut. It is of an exceed- 

 ingly free-blooming character, every shoot producing a bud, 

 whether planted in the open ground or grown for winter 

 flowers. (-See Cut.)
