THE FAMOUS OLD 
YORK and LANCASTER ROSE 
HIS is a remarkable old English variety, dating back hundreds of years to what 
was known as the Wars of the Roses in England, when the two warring fac- 
_ tions were distinguished in battle by the color of the Roses they wore in their 
Hats, the bright Red Roses representing one party, and the Pure White Roses the 
other; these wars lasted for years, and when peace was made, the two parties were 
united, and the Red and White became the National Colors of England. The York 
and Lancaster Rose belongs to the Centifolia class, and is noted for its perfect hardi- 
ness and delightful fragrance; also for its beautifully variegated flowers, which are 
large and double and elegantly striped with deep crimson and pure white. It is so 
difficult to propagate we can only offer a limited supply of strong two-year plants. 
PRICE, while they last, 75 cts. and $1.00.each, by express. STOCK LIMITED.
