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 pub- 

 lic is unacquainted with its merits. This is espe- 

 cially true of this great variety. Makes strong, 

 upright bush, with beautiful deep green foliage; 

 practically thornless. While a Hybrid Perpetual, 

 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 sal- 

 mon-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, 20c each; 3 for 50c, postpaid. 

 Two-year-old plants, 50c each; $5.00 per doz., by express. Still larger or star size at 75c each.
