New Ever-blooming Crimson Rose 



President Taft — A cross between Gruss an Teplitz and Agrippina. This will un- 

 doubtedly prove to be one of the best Roses of its color. $2.00. 



The Blue Rambler 



Veilchenblau (Violet Blue) — The new rambler, " Veilchenblau " (Violet Blue\ which 

 is hailed by the German rose growers as the forerunner of a genuinely cornflower 

 blue rose, is a seedling of Crimson Rambler. The blossoms, massed in large umbels, 

 are semi-double, of medium size. The color, on first unfolding, is either reddish 

 pink or purplish pink, then turns amethyst, and finally steel blue as the flower fades. 

 The general color impression is that of the March violet. The yellow stamens ap- 

 pear in sharp contrast to the blue petals. The plant is vigorous in growth, with 

 shining green foliage and few but sharp thorns. So far it has not suffered from 

 mildew and is considered one of the most hardy ramblers. $1.00. 



A Valuable Novelty 



Interesting cross of the Yellow Rose with a Hybrid Tea, constituting a new race 



of Roses. 



The Lyon Rose — Is the result of a cross between Madame Melanie Soupert, Hybrid 

 Tea, and an unnamed variety, the direct offspring of Soleil d'Or. The flowers are 

 of large size, moderately full, globular in form, of a superb shrimp pink color and 

 fragrant; the buds are large, long, and coral red. M. Pernet says that although 

 this magnificent rose belongs to the class Pernetiana it possesses all of the precious 

 qualities of the Hybrid Teas, from which it has derived its principal character and 

 above all the advantage of perpetual flowering. Among the new Roses judged at 

 Paris during the summer of 1908, of eighty-seven varieties submitted the Lyon 

 Rose was the only one to receive from the Jury of Award the full number of points. 

 The race of Roses called Pernetiana is a result of a cross between Persian Yellow 

 and Antoine Ducher. Soleil d'Or belongs to this new race. This is unquestionably 

 a very promising new Rose, novel and entirely distinct. $2.00.
