 crimson flowers are borne on long, stiff stems, making it a

 in the greenhouses. Perfectly hardy.

 tionally fine for outdoor growing. Price: Two-year

 and one of the best in our trial grounds, with beautifully 

 smooth and massive petals. The blooms are very large, 

 full and perfectly formed, with high-pointed center. Very 

 sweetly perfumed. The color, which is very novel, is a 

 dainty, clear rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, erect 

 and of very free-flowering habit. Price: Two-year-old 

 budded plants only, $1.00 each, by express. 



QUEEN BEATRICE— A cross between Mad. Abel Chat- 

 enay and Liberty, with color an intermediate shade be- 

 tween those of its two parents. When first opening it is 

 much darker than Bridesmaid, and gradually fades to the 

 beautiful silvery pink of La France, when the 

 Rose is at its best. It is a strong and healthy 

 grower and very free flowering. Delicately fra- 

 grant and a splendid keeper, it is ideal for cut- 

 flower purposes.
