Clotilde Soupert x LucuUus. 



OUR list of novelties would, indeed, be incomplete without including this 

 sterling New Rose. We cannot make deliveries, however, before March 

 1, 1896, as the demand for it the past Spring was greater than the supply. 

 We regard " Pink Soupert " as the most triumphant result of scientific hybridi- 

 zation yet accomplished in this country, and it is a source of keen gratification 

 to know from expert Rosarians who have seen it in bloom that it is the most 

 valuable Rose for general commercial purposes yet introduced in America. 

 Lack of space forbids an extended description. It may be said to be exactly 

 identical with Clotilde Soupert, its progenitor, wdth the exception of foliage and 

 color of flower. The foliage is dark and of splendid texture, standing winds 

 and rains with impunity, and is singularly free from disease. 



The flowers take their form from Clotilde Soupert, and in color a deep 

 Hermosa pink. It is a continuous bloomer, each branch terminates with a 

 cluster of flowers. Single plants, when but six months old, under ordinary 

 treatment, often produce fifty perfect flowers. Blooms splendidly in open 

 ground, and is hardier than Clotilde Soupert ; this valuable characteristic being 

 imparted from Lucullus. 



In a paper presented by Mr. John Burton at the Pittsburgh Convention of 

 S. A. F., the following extract is significant: "Among the Polyantha Roses 

 introduced this year is an American variety called 'Pink Soupert.' It is 

 claimed to be as hardy and as free flowering as C. Soupert. While the flowers 

 are not as large as the last mentioned variety, the color is distinct, and is a 

 break in the right direction, as we cannot have too many sports or seedlings 

 from this grand Rose." Be sure to have your order booked now.
