 produced by grafting. The color is pure white, in autumn very delicately nnd 

 faintly flushed with pink, in which state it is exceedingly beautiful ; it has 

 maintained its character constantly, in doors and out, for threeyears. No col- 

 lection can be complete without this wonderful novelty. A pure dead white. 

 It retains the exquisite shape and wonderful texture of its parent, in fact, is in 

 every respect a white Baronne de Eothschild. A gem." 50 cents each.
