INew Forcing Rose ROBERT SCOTT. 



The most distinct forcing Rose introduced for many years. It is a seedling 

 from Merveille de Lyon, crossed with Belle Siebrecht, possessing size, form, 

 color and growth peculiar to the hybrid perpetual class and the free ever- 

 blooming qualities of the Tea Roses — practically an everblooming hybrid — 

 the first of its type that will flower the year round. It is of a clear rosy pink, 

 shading to flesh on the outer petals; of large size and as beautiful in the full- 

 blown flower as in the bud state, and, like its parent, clothed with handsome 

 foliage up to the bud. 



Awarded highest honors wherever shown, and a welcome addition to the 

 list of forcing Roses. §1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.

 velvety crimson; of larger size than Hermosa; very fragrant;
