PERLE VON GODESBERG. — A so lend id new Hv- 



brid Tea Rose. An 



offspring of Kaisenn Augusta Victoria, and sent 

 out from Germany as a Yellow Kaiserin A 

 Victoria. With us it has failed to come up to the 

 strong recommendation sent out describing it as a 

 distinct golden yellow flower. The flower may be 

 said to be creamy yellow, but is far fr< 

 true yellow Kaiserin Aug 



trials so far convince us of this fact. Should v. 

 ourselves mistaken in further trial, it will be an- 

 nounced in these pages. In any event, it is 

 worthy of a trial. 25 cts. each; two-vear-old • 

 50 cts. each. 

 H E L E N E .— Offered in some catalogues as a better 



Rose than Crimson Rambler; which it 



is not. While thoroughly distinct and worthy of a 

 place, it lacks in color, which is soft violet- 

 of petals yeliowish white, while the anthers and pis- 

 tils are pure yellow, giving U 

 appearance. The buds are carmine, finely m 

 and are borne 20 to 50 in a cluster. A - 

 climbing Rose, perfectly hardy, and. with the 

 tion of the color of the flowers, strongly resembles 

 Crimson Rambler. 20 cis. each: 3 for' 50 cts.; two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cts. each.
