We make every effort in producing these catalogs for your con- 

 sideration to give you true-color illustrations. It is not easy to 

 reproduce Nature's glorious colors as they appear in roses, and 

 many times it is necessary to correct the engravings and the 

 printing inks again and again before we are satisfied that we 

 have done our best to be accurate. This extra care is, however, 

 well worth the effort; because then we know that you will be 

 seeing our roses as we want 3'ou to see them ... as true to life 

 as the arts of printer and engraver can make them. 



•LADY ELGIN. H.T. (Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1469. The 

 brilliance of this apricot and orange combination— a kind of red 

 or jeweler's gold — is admired by everyone who has ever seen it. 

 It is amazingly beautiful— rich and exciting. This color remains 

 throughout the life of the flower. Huge and handsome blooms 

 come "on long stems, which means good cutting for the house. 

 The petals, 35 to 48 in number, are large and form substantial 

 blossoms; and the bud, like the bloom, has excellent form. Lady 

 Elgin's plant is sturdy, tall-growing, upright and vigorous. The 

 foliage is a lustrous green. This fabulous rose, introduced only 

 two years ago, also possesses a delightful fragrance. $2.50 ea.; 3 

 or more. St2.20 ea.
