Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury 
One of the many new varieties of Roses recently 
produced in this country that will soon become a 
popular favorite is our prediction for this Glorious 
Hybrid Tea. A cross between My Maryland, Jos. 
Hill and Milady. It has the desirable features of all 
and apparently none of the faults, retaining the mag- 
nificent bud of my Maryland and the double flower 
when fully opened of Milady, making it the most 
perfect Rose we have ever seen. In its color lies one of 
its principal charms, being a soft silvery flesh pink, 
deepening towards the center to very deep pink, outer 
edges of the petals tinted silvery rose, making a com- 
bination found in so few. Strong grower, producing 
the blooms on long, stiff stems, well above the foliage. 
ANTOINE VERDIER—A beautifully shaded, bright, 
glowing pink; flowers bold and massive, like 
American Beauty, and of splendid substance. Bush 
is strong and vigorous, in constant bloom.

ally fine for outdoor culture. Extremely hardy 
and free blooming. Color rosy white and shaded 
salmon. Flowers large, full double and well formed. 
COMMONWEALTH—Bud large, long, pointed; 
flower large, open, double, very lasting; deep pink, 
solid color; borne singly on medium strong stem; 
moderate fragrance. Foliage sufficient, leathery, 
medium size rich green, disease resistant. Few 
thorns. Vigorous, upright; continuous bloomer.
