A.bol (F. Evans, 1927). An exceptionally vigorous 



growing, very free-flowering, new white. No other 



white variety, and for that matter, very few colored 



varieties, have such a delightful sweet perfume as 



this novelty. In the bud stage and before the 



flowers are fully expanded, the centre petals are

flower produced very freely on long upright stems 



with very few thorns. S75.(M) per liiO

in bud and fully developed flower, a great advance 



over the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, long 



shapely bud and moderately large full double high 



centered flower of tea perfume. In color the inside 



of the petals are of delicate rosy pink, the outside 



a bright rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a 



delightful reflecting of the petals which enhance 



the beauty of the pink tones by bringing each into 



bolder relief. Strong' vigorous healthy growth and \ 



very free. $75.00 per 100. 

 Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long 



pointed conical buds with the edges of the outer
