It is an exquisite rose, an extravagant bloomer, and par- 

 ticularly lovely in the Autumn when its peachy-amber rose 

 flowers are mo^ abundant and charming. The third (a 

 Pernetiana) is Mme. Louise Catherine Breslau, a fine rose 

 of coral suffused with amber. The fourth (also a Pernetiana) 

 is Mme. Edouard Herriott, coral-rose and gold. The fifth 

 is Madame Jean Dupuy, a pretty rose of gold, suffused 

 with rose pink. 



^ The sixth, William R. Smith, is almo^ the be^ rose that 

 grows; certainly it has the mo^ perfecft bud, the richer 

 petal sub^ance and the mo^ delightful open blooms. It 

 is also a lavish Autumn bloomer. Its great matchless 

 buds of creamy white may be cut with exceedingly long 

 ^ems, the foliage is bronzy-green and coral tipped and it 

 keeps crisp and lovely longer than any cut rose 1 know 53 

 ^ Among the climbers I have found, we have the following 

 fifteen to be absolutely mildew proof:

^ Here we have forty-five examples that are, apart from their 

 mildew resistant quality, exceptionally fine varieties indeed, 

 almo^ without rivals of any sort. They, I think, are rather 

 a goodly number, don't you think so too?
