The Best and Latest Novelties in 



— =Roses itota Etstope — 



THE varieties offered on this page are European productions and it will be noticed that we have secured them from no less 

 than twenty different establishments in all parts of Europe. They represent the highest degree of perfection yet 

 attained in Roses, and as such cannot fail to be of interest to every lover of new and rare varieties. Many of the 

 varieties offered below are marvelous. Tlie descriptions may be relied upon as being absolutely accurrtte. Lack of space pre- 

 V. nts us giving our personal opinion of each variety, but let us say that we have discarded all varieties that have not proven 

 themselves to be thoroughly distinct and different from varieties that we already offer. It is true then that this is one of the
