The Famous " York and Lancaster ' 



ENGLAND'S ROSE (Damask) 



This valuable Rose belongs to the damask class. Is a 

 remarkably vigorous grower and perfectly hardy. It is of 

 rich historic interest, dating back to the War of the Roses be- 

 tween the Royal Houses of York and Lancaster; said to have 

 originated when these warring factions became united, its color 

 representing the white of the Yorkists and the red of the Lan- 

 castrians. 



Our illustration gives but a faint idea of its striking appear- 

 ance; buds and flowers are wonderfully marked, red and white, 

 sometimes blotched and sometimes striped, full and double. 



It is highly prized where known, but scarce because very 

 difficult to propagate. It can be bought in only one or two 

 places in the United States. Our plants are on their own roots 

 and when established will last a lifetime and be a permanent
