very beautiful, resembling General Jacqueminot, 

 but fuller and more constant bloomer; dark, rich 

 scarlet, passing to deep velvety crimson; extra large, 

 full flowers; very sweet. 



FRANCOIS LEVET. One of the best and most satis- 

 factory of all Hybrid Roses; we recommend it 

 highly for general planting. An unusually vigor- 

 ous grower, and free-blooming. Large, finely 

 made flowers almost the size of Paul Neyron; cherry- 

 pink, delicately shaded carmine and blush. See this 

 wonderful Rose on the color plate on page 69. 

 GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. Bright, shining crimson, 

 rich and velvety; exceedingly brilliant and hand- 

 some; makes magnificent buds and flowers, and is 

 highly esteemed as one of the best and most desir- 

 able Roses for open ground. See this old favorite 

 Rose on the color plate on page 69. 

 GENERAL WASHINGTON. Bright, shining crimson 

 • flowers, large and perfectly double; blooms the first 



season and almost constantly. 

 GIANT OF .BATTLES. A grand old favorite. One of 

 the best, if not the best, hardy, vivid crimson 

 Rose; large, very double and sweet.

 son-scarlet.
