Gloire Lyonnaise 



Brilliant White Rose 



Great Roses are made all the greater by 



the publicity given them. Frequently, a 



variety of more than ordinary 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 Per- 

 petual, yet like the Hybrid Tea Roses, 



bearing in the greatest profusion large, 



pointed buds and massive 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. It will be a constant source of delight. See, also, this glorious Rose on the color plate 

 on page 69. Grown, as they are, on its own roots, one can purchase with a feeling of satisfaction and that it will 

 be a source of joy forever. 



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