La FRANCE. 

GENERAL JACQUIMENOT. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 
In the list offered we believe that the range of color comprises all the distinct and really valuable shades. 
Many 
sorts have been left out, not because they are of no value in themselves, but that the sorts listed are superior in size, 
hardiness, pisor, productiveness or some other characteristic that is necessary to make a good rose. 
The best e 
ects are produced where masses of few colors are used, thereby avoiding the uneven and checker-board 
appearance of a body of miscellaneous varieties, whose demand for favor lies simply in that they are “ different.”
