*Etoile de France ^•"'"* (Illustrated below.) A sparkling red Roseof 



El 1 happy disposition, whose cheerful flowers ride 



high on graceful stems, making a bright spot of color in the garden almost 

 every day all summer long. It has been grown in many locations, usually 

 being unsurpassed in its rich fragrance and continued bloom. 



The buds are shapely, the flowers large, unusually double, and of informal 

 shape when fuHy open. Splendid for cutting. The bright color lasts long, but 

 unfavorable weather sometimes prevents the buds from opening. When this 

 happens, simply nip the buds off" and aflow the strength of the plant to go into 

 the making of new buds and flowers. During hot, dry weather you will find 

 the flowers on this Rose at their best, while other varieties are drooping. In 

 our test-gardens this has been one of the most satisfactory reds. The plant 



grows well, and is one of the most hardy. FoHage 

 is good, and fairly resistant to disease. A 

 fine Rose for planting in beds or placing 

 where its glowing flowers can 

 shine against a back- 

 ground of rich 

 green. $1 each;
