Or M Red I*a France." 



This,grand variety Is a "sport" from 

 that most popular variety, "La France," 

 and inherits all the grand qualities which 

 have made its parent the favorite It is. 

 To these is added a richness of color 

 very difficult to describe— a shade which 

 our artist describes as "Tyrian Rose," 

 which is very rare. It is this rich tint 

 which has earned for it the popular title 

 of "Red La France." In profusion of 

 bloom it is remarkable, every shoot pro- 

 ducing large double flowers of exquisite 

 fragrance and grand form. It may be 

 kept in the open ground all winter if cov- 

 ered with straw or leaves, or it may be 

 potted, and will bloom all winter in a 

 6unny window or greenhouse.

HARDY BEDDING t?OSE ) 



« Dr. Reymont" 



This fine hardy, ever-blooming sort was obtained by crossing the well-known 

 Gen. Jacqueminot and the Rosa Folyantna or Multiflora. With such good par. 

 entage it is needless to say that the progeny is excellent. It inherits the hardi- 

 ness and splendid crimson-colored flowers of the Gen. Jacqueminot — which are 

 but little reduced in size— with the profuse blooming qualities of the Polyantha 



class, thus combining the two qualities 



most desired in a garden Eose. Bear 



in mind that this Rose is entirely « 



hardy, ever-blooming and delightfully ■ 



fragrant.

The ppiEi( Beddi^ ^e, 



" Clothilde Soupert." 



This grand Rose is what Is known asa" Poly, 

 antha Hybrid," obtained by crossing a monthly 

 ever-blooming variety with the Polyantha Rose, 

 "Micnonette," offered in our list of "Dwarf 

 Bedding Roses" on page 107. The result of this 

 cross has been to produce the splendid bedding 

 Rose, Clothilde Soupert, shown in the adjoining 

 engraving. The previous objection to the Polyan- 

 tha Roses, viz., smallness of flowers, has been 

 overcome in this variety, as the flowers of 

 Clothilde Soupert are of full average size, 

 double to the centre and exquisitely fragrant. 

 The color is a French white, deepening to rosy 

 blush in the centre, exceeding in distinctness of 

 shadings the well-known Malmaison. Its great- 

 est value lies in its compact, vigorous habit, and 

 wonderful profusion of bloom, even the smallest 

 plants being literally covered with flowers. The 

 form and substance of the flowers are so perfect 

 that the hottest weather docs not cause a deteri- 

 oration of either, so that even in midsummer a 

 bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers can 

 be obtained from this fine variety. Too much 

 cannot be said in praise of this Rose for bedding pur- 

 poses. It deservedly earned its title of the "Premier 

 Bedding Rose." Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it 

 is even more so for pot culture, and ranks as first for 

 blooming in the dwelling-house. It is entirely exempt 

 from the diseases usually affecting Roses in the house.
