i grand Rose improves upon acquaintance. The better 
it is known the more popular it becomes. It is of 
rapid, vigorous growth; plants in our grounds attained a 
height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced 
in trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens measuring nine 
inches from base to tip, and seven inches across, fairly covering the 
plant from the ground to the top, so that it is one mass of 
glowing: crimson, The color is superb and remains strong 
and vivid to the end; plantsin our grounds retained the bloom 
for two months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous, over 
three hundred blooms having been counted on one shoot. 
It is essentially a garden Rose, but makes a magnificent spec- 
imen in a pot or tub. 
These plants would make good specimens in pots in 
the greenhouse or conservatory in the spring, if potted 
and started into growth early. Price, 1st size plants from 
open ground (ready October 25th), 50c. each, $4.50 per 
doz. ; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.

strong plants, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.; second
