H GEM flPUG flllRDY. FWGRHUT fljEE-BLOOjHIllG ROSES. 



The splendid pink hardy Rose illustrated by the above engraving was purchased from a Mr. Klelnhaus two years ago, and placed or* 

 trial In our grounds. We were at once impressed by its remarkably healthy, vigorous growth and its wonderful blooming qualities, 

 surpassing all other true hybrid perpetuals in this respect, and fully the eqUal of the best among them in point of size, fragrance and 

 form. For years it had been grown as a winter-flowering variety by the gentleman from whom we purchased it, and some idea of its. 

 enormously productive qualities can be obtained from the fact that he had cut as many as twelve hundred flowers from a single plant, 

 a record seldom equaled and never surpassed by any other variety. "We havo thoroughly tested it, and can recommend it as being 

 entirely hardy. It is of such vigorous growth, that if planted close to a wall ov fence, it may be trained like a climbing Eose. So prolific 

 of bloom is it that small plants in our grounds, a foot high, were one mass of flowers. The origin of this grand variety Is not clear, hence 

 we do not offer it as being a new Rose, and have given it the name Of " SummeV Queen " conditionally. In color it is a bright silvery 

 Pink, full and double. Like its grand deep-colored prototype, " American Beauty," we believe it has come to stay, and so we welcome* 

 this fine addition to our hardy free-blooming Roses, with a recommendation to all our customers to try it. 



Price, strong plants, 1st size,. $1.00 each ; $9.00 per dozen.
