Ten Fragrant Favorites 



If we are to judge from the demand there has been for Fragrant Roses, we believe this will prove to be 

 One of the most popular collections in our catalog. We offer herewith the kinds most noteworthy for 

 their intense and pleasing fragrance. "Even the sweetest Roses have more or less fragrance according to 

 the temperature in which they live. Therefore in general the perfume will be found more pronounced in 

 mornings and evenings than at midday. The humidity of the atmosphere, too, helps to render them 

 fragrant, for by penetrating into the tissue it drives out the volatile oils they contain."
