NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE 
ETOILE de FRANCE 
(STAR OF FRANCE) 
HIS is undoubtedly the most magnificent new Rose introduced for many 
years; it is a strong healthy grower, quite hardy and a quick and abun- 
dant bloomer, makes beautiful large pointed buds and extra large fully 
double flowers, 332 to 4% inches across. Color, very bright dark rich 
crimson, exceedingly handsome and sure to take first place among the finest 
roses in cultivation. Its hardiness, vigorous growth and freedom of bloom 
make it particularly valuable for planting in the open ground, while the large 
size, exquisite color, and the delicious fragrance of its buds and flowers make 
it especially desirable as a cut flower and forcing Rose. We believe, in fact, 
it has few equals in all around good points and is well worthy to be con- 
sidered one of the newest and finest Roses in cultivation to-day. Strong plants, 
35 cts. each; larger size, 50 cts., postpaid. Two-year size, 75 cts. each, 
express, or $1.00, delivered.
