One of the greatest thrills of gardemng is to grow 

 some of the newer varieties of Roses. Until you have 

 tried them, it is hard to realize the advances that 

 have been made in Rose development toward richer 

 colors, more vigorous plants, and greater quantity 

 of bloom. We ofifer only those which we believe to be 

 really superior. 



^BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. See picture on 

 back cover page. (Mallerin.) Plant Pat. 594. This 

 is that rare beauty, a pure white, fragrant Hybrid 

 Tea Rose. The petals of the beautifully modeled 

 blooms are as white as alabaster, with a live, satiny 

 sheen, as appealing as an Easter lily, with the ad- 

 vantage that the Rose blooms for five months of the 

 year. Its streamhned buds come erect on healthy, 

 upright plants. These long buds open to beautifully 

 formed blooms 3^ to 4 inches across. We have yet to 

 find a white Rose to equal Blanche Mallerin in artistic 

 beauty. Lovely for cutting. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $4.
