«§Rogeg of 1896#- 



Clotkilde Soupert. — This rose may well be classed as the first 

 hybrid Polyantha of merit for forcing. It originated with 

 Messrs. Soupert & Notting, of Luxembourg, Belgium, by the 

 cross fertilization of Madame Damazin and the Polyantha rose 

 Mignonette. It is a strong, vigorous grower with flowers, 

 large, double and beautiful in form with the style of Boule de 

 Niege or like an Aster. The flowers are borne in sprays and 

 the color blends from a pale rose to a pure satiny white. Some- 

 times the same plant produces white and rose pink flowers. It 

 is remarkably free-flowering and a constant bloomer. This 

 rose is undoubtedly destined to take a high rank as a pot rose 

 for bedding purposes and with the increased taste for roses in 

 clustered sprays will probably prove of great profit for forcing. 



Adeline Outrey. — Strong and vigorous growth; flowers medium 

 size, double, and upright ; color, yellowish flesh with yellow 

 at the base of petals. Very free bloomer. 



Cleopatra. — Strong, vigorous plant ; flowers, large and full with 

 broad petals, long and somewhat pointed buds ; color, very 

 pale pink shaded with brilliant pink. This variety is like the 

 Souvenir d'Elise Varden, although its blooms are lighter than 

 that rose. Good profitable rose for forcing. It has received 

 a first-class certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society of 

 England. 



Duchesse Marie Salviati. — Strong and vigorous growth ; 

 flowers, full size, magnificent oval buds which open well; 

 color at base of petals chrome orange shaded with delicate 

 flesh color, center peach red. Frequently the flowers come a 

 perfectly clear saffron yellow with no shading. Originated by 

 Madame Lombart crossed with Maurice Kuppenheim. 



Dulce Bella. — Strong, vigorous plant ; flowers large and full ; 

 color, coppery pink. Very free blooming and fragrant. Good 

 rose for forcing and cultivating under glass.
