Gloire Lyonnaise 



BriUiant White Rose 



Great Roses are made all the greater by the publicity 

 given them. Frequently, a variety of more than or- 

 dinary worth is allowed to "waste its sweetness on the 

 desert air" because the public is unacquainted with its 

 merits. This is especially true of this great variety. 

 It makes a strong, upright bush, with beautiful deep 

 green foliage; is practically thornless. While a Hybrid 

 Perpetual, yet like the Hybrid Tea Roses, bearing in 

 the greatest profusion large, pointed buds and mass- 

 ive flowers, on long, stiff, heavy shoots; the open 

 flower is enormous, full deep and double. Color rich 

 creamy white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of 

 salmon-yellow, deepest at the center. It is absolutely hardy everywhere, and we ask that you plant it freely, 

 be a constant source of delight. See, also, this glorious Rose on the color plate on inside front cover. Grown, 

 are, on its own roots, one can purchase with a feeling of satisfaction and that it will be a source of joy forever. 

 15c each, 4 for 50c; larger size, 20c each, 3 for 50c. Two-year-old plants, 45c each«
