Bridesmaid A "Sport" from 



C. Mermet, and possessing all 



the good qualities of the parent

color, being a deep, brilliant pink and

 tain conditions it is blackish crimson.

Souvenir du Fresident Carnot. A 



Hybrid Tea Rose of the greatest prom-

 of its color introduced in a decade. The 

 growth is vigorous, the foliage dark 

 green and very handsome, but the glory 

 of the variety is in its flower It is very 

 arge, both in the bud and in the ex- 

 panded flower, double to the centre and 

 opens beautifully. Technically described, 

 it could be called a rosy flesh, very soft 

 in the centre, and shaded with a lighter 

 flesh at the end of the petals.

NEW ROSE, MRS. ROBERT GARRETT. 



A variety of American origin, raised under the climatic conditions in which it must have its being ; 

 therefore it is a certainty that it will prove to be adapted to our climate. 



It is difficult to describe a Rose-; much of the coloring is due to its form and its semi-transpar- 

 ency, and is generated as it were in the Rose itself. A shallow Rose cannot have the beautiful color 

 effects seen in a Rose like Mrs. Robert Garrett wtrich is of great substance, containing more than the 

 ordinary amount of coloring matter. Speaking broadly, the general color effect is a glowing shell like 

 pink. It is marvelously beautiful, whether considered as a single specimen or in a bunch.
