White Killarney. This variety 

 possesses all the good points of, and 

 is identical in every way with, its 

 parent, except in color, which is of a 

 clear white. Its parent, Killarney, 

 though introduced only ten years ago, 

 has for several years been one of the 

 most popular Roses. White Kil- 

 larney has great freedom of bloom, 

 beautiful form, and perfect hardi- 

 ness, which, together with its purity 

 of color, assures for it the same popu- 

 larity. In naming a select list of 

 leaders for general planting, I should 

 certainly include White Killarney, be- 

 cause I know its merits so well. Price,

 over all its petals. Entirely hardy.

Mme. < Proline Testout. Pink. Planted 

 in the nursery rows with all the other good 

 Roses, you can pick it out across a ten-acre 

 field on account of its immense size and brilliant 

 color. Probably no Rose stands higher in public

 good in other ways. Petals large, exquisitely 

 edged and bordered with clear silver rose.
