Brilliant White Rose 



Great Roses are made all the greater by the publicity 

 given them. Frequently, a variety of more than or- 

 dinary 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. 

 Makes strong, upright bush, with beautiful deep green 

 foliage; practically thornless. While a Hybrid Perpet- 

 ual, yet like the Hybrid Tea Roses, bears in greatest 

 profusion large, pointed buds and massive flowers, on 

 long, stiff, heavy shoots; the open flower is enormous, 

 full, deep and double. Rich creamy white, passing, 

 when open, to a pale shade of salmon-yellow, deepest 

 at the center. Absolutely hardy everywhere. Grown, 



as they are, on their own roots, one can purchase with a feeling that it will be a source of joy forever. Price, 

 each, 4 for 50c: larger size, 20c each, 3 for 50c. Two-year-old plants, 45c each. $4.50 per doz. by express. ! 

 larger or star size at 75c each.
