This magnificent Rose has been well recom- 

 mended by hundreds of our customers, and we 

 have grown an extra-large stock in order that 

 we might give it the wider distribution which 

 its merits cause it to deserve. Not the least of 

 its charms is the large, bright green foliage, and 

 the buds are simply grand. The flowers are 

 large and quite full; outer petals superb rosy

 tint. This wonderful Rose, of great beauty and
