LORD PENZANCE'S HYBRID SWEET BRIERS 



For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses; furnish them with a stake or pole 5 to 6 feet high, tying the main shoots to this 

 and allowing the laterals to develop and ramble at pleasure. Treated in this way and without pruning, beyond cutting out dead 

 and superfluous branches, they will produce an abundance of lovely single or semi-double flowers with a beauty all their own. 

 Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Brenda. Maiden's blush or peach, dainty in color and shade; the effect of the golden anthers adds a peculiar charm. 



Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a metallic 

 lustre; the base of each petal is a bright yellow, which, showing 

 through the golden anthers, forms a halo round them. 

 Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 

 lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most deli- 

 cate pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer. 

 Meg Merrilies. Gorgeous crimson, very free-flowering, won- 

 derfully robust habit, large foliage; one of the best. 

 Refulgence. Semi-double flowers, 3£ inches across; on first 



opening a dazzling scarlet, changing to bright crimson.

 or Eglantine. The single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it 

 is valued most on account of the refreshing fragrance of its 

 leaves. 50 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.
