Lord Penzance Sweet Briar. 



These are crosses between the cominon Sweet Briar and various old-fashioned Garden Roses ; the flowers are 



double. The plants are very vigorous and perfectly hardy, and the foliage of all of them is as sweetly scented 



Sweet Briar. They form a distinct break from any class of Rose 



yet in commerce. Of the 16 varieties introduced since 1894, we 



have selected the 5 varieties offered below as the most distinct 



and handsome : 



Anne of Gierstein. Dark crimson, good grower and grace- 

 ful branching habit. 



Brenda. Maiden's blush or peach, dainty in color and shade ; 

 the contrast and effect of the bright golden anthers add a pecu- 

 liar chaim to this variety. 



Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a pecu- 

 liar metallic lustre ; the base of each petal is a bright yellow, 

 which, showing through the clear golden anthers, forms a halo 

 round them; very free-flowering, with a delicious perfume from 

 foliage and flower. 



LiOrd Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or 6cru, passing to a 

 lovely lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned w'ith a most 

 delicate pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer; very 

 sweet-scented. 



Meg Merrilies. Gorgeous crimson, very free-flowering, 

 seeds abundantly, has a wonderfully robust habit, large foliage; 

 one of the best.
