 It is undoubtedly one of the finest Hybrid Perpetuals of its color ever raised.— The Garden, London. 

 Frau Karl Druschki. Flowers very large, beautiful, pure white. This promises to be the best white Hybrid 

 Perpetual yet introduced and one of the best novelties of recent years. 50c. 

 Of the varieties distributed in 1900, Frau Karl Druschki, although new to the analysis, takes up a position at No. 17. This is in 

 itself a remarkable performance for anv new rose, and only shows what a general favorite with exhibitors this beautiful pure white H . P. 

 has already become. Years ago we had to be content with Mme. Lacharme, which came out as a white H. P. in 1873, and since then we 

 have welcomed in turn Mabel Morrison ( 1878;, Violette Bouyer (1881), Merveillede Lyon (1882), White Baroness (1888), Margaret Dick- 

 son (1891), and Marchioness of Londonderry (1893), but none nearly as warmly as we now welcome this sterling acquisition— Frau Karl 

 Druschki In the first place it is pure white, which none of its predecessors can lay claim to be, added to which it has a good, vigorous 

 habit, and is, moreover, one of the freest flowering, if not the most continuous flowering, of all the H. P's. The raiser of this remark- 

 able Rose— and all honor to him— is Peter Lambert of Trier, in Germany.— The Garden, London. 

 " It is universally admitted to be the best white Hybrid Perpetual in cultivation." 



Unmistakably this Rose is the finest novelty of the last few years.— The Garden, London. 

 Suzanne Marie Rodocanachi. Flowers of fine form, color soft pink. Not a new variety, but one which 

 should be grown. #1.00.
