DESCRIPTION OF NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE 
Clara Barton 
(See Illustration on opposite Page) 
HIS lovely Hybrid Tea Rose is the result of a cross between the splendid AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE 
and the beautiful CLOTILDE SOUPERT. The color isarareand exquisite shade of delicate amber 
pink, entirely different from any other rose with which we are acquainted. ‘The flowers are quite 
large, three to three and one-half inches in diameter, and double to the center; they are delight- 
fully fragrant, and each one is set in a lovely rosette of leaves, completely encircling the flower and making 
itan elegant bouquetin itself. It isa most constant and abundant bloomer, continuously loaded with 
flowers during the whole growing season, and if taken indoors before cold weather, will bloom all winter as 
well. We think the plant will prove hardy with usual protection as far north as New York, unless in very 
exposed situations. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and valuable New Hybrid Tea Roses re- 
cently introduced, and we expect will be in large demand as soon as known, both in this country and Europe. 
It is an exquisite Rose in every way. 
Price, strong plants, 50 cts. each, postpaid; two-year size, 1.00 each by express. 
NEW EVER- 
BLOOMING ROSE, Beaute Inconstante 
The Many-Colored Rose—bears Pink, Red and Yellow Roses on the same bush. 
BEAUTE INCONSTANTE. This is a lovely, new ever-blooming Rose, which has the remarkable 
quality of bearing different-colored roses on the same bush. Sometimes the flowers are distinctly striped and 
variegated, but frequently are of entirely different colors, some being clear satiny-pink, some bright red, and 
others deep yellow, with all intermediate shades between, which, besides being very beautiful, are a great 
curiosity. _The colors and variegations become more distinct and remarkable as the plant becomes older and 
stronger. It isa free and constant bloomer. The flowers and buds are of good size and fine form, highly 
valued for cutting and wearing. 15c, each; larger size, 20c.; two-year, 40c., by express.
