 gold. See color illustration, page 23. A* 

 steady bloomer, with beautifull>' modeled 

 flowers of tender pink, running into salmon 

 and cream and gold. 1 lighl\ scented and 

 long lasting when cut. During hot, dry

 in the fall the flowers, on strong, sturdy- 

 stems, are simply superb. $1 each. 



• MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. (The 

 Daily ALiil Rose.) Pernet. Coral-red. 

 See color illustration, j^age 23. The long- 

 pointed buds glow like dusky fire, and the 

 newly opened blooms are a deep coral-red 

 which soon changes to a pleasing orange- 

 pink. It is unsurpassed as a bedding Rose 

 for it blooms very early and continues 

 flowering until hard frost. The canes are 

 very thorny and the flowering stems 

 rather short, so it is not a good Rose for 

 cutting. SI each. 



• MAMA LAMESCH. H.T. Salmon- 

 pink. Color is a glowing salmon-pink, 

 faintly washed with lemon-yellow at the 

 base. The flower-stems are strong and 

 hold up the heavy blooms without bending. 

 In habit this Rose is very good — upright 

 and vigorous. It has large, healthy, 

 glossy foliage and blooms abundantly and 

 continuously. In all, it is one of the best 

 varieties of the salmon-pink color. $1 each. 



• MISS WILLMOTT. H.T. Cupped, 

 white flowers, lightly tinted with pink 



and borne on long stems. Deliciously fragrant. 

 A Rose of exceptional merit. $1 each.
