^ Souv> de Georges Pernet h.t. 



Practically every Rose has its duplicates or '*just as good" sub- 

 stitutes, but Souv. de Georges Pernet has never yet been matched, 

 and stands alone in his splendid isolation — long-pointed buds of rich 

 oriental-red, tipped with deep carmine, on a pedestal of buttercup-yel- 

 low. As the petals unfurl slowly, these tints blend into a shimmering 

 cochineal old-rose. In form it is nearer perfection than any Rose we 

 know. The flower is of very large size and unusually long lasting, 

 rain or shine, and the plant is vigorous, branching and rather sprawly. 

 Fohage deep green with a purphsh edge, large and of average persist- 

 ence. A prize-winner at all shows. Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1923. 

 Price, $1 each, or 90 cts. each for 12, or 80 cts. each for 25 or more. 



(This glorious Rose is one of the famous STAR DOZEN. See page 11.)
