 it as a satisfactory variety of more than ordinary merit. It 

 does splendidly in open gr®und, where it grows very vigor-

 fragrant flowers. They are especially attractive in the bud 

 state; indeed they equal the buds of the finest cut-flower

 glossy pink, shaded with rich carmine. An extra-good rose.

MAD. DE WATTEVILLE. 



The Tulip Rose. 



This grand variety, sometimes called the Tulip Rose, is 

 one of the most beautiful varieties we ha\ e ever sent out, 

 and is very largely planted by those who know its beauty. 

 The color is a remarkable shade of creamy yellow, richly 

 colored with rosy blush ; the petals are large and each one 

 widely bordered with bright crimson, which gives it a very 

 striking and beautiful appearance. The flowers are large, 

 very full and highly perfumed. For planting in the open 



ground Mad. 

 de Watteville 

 takes front 

 rank, being a 

 hardy, vigor- 

 ous g ro w e r, 

 standing the 

 sun and weath- 

 er well, a pro- 

 fuse bloomer ; 

 u n s u r p assed 

 for cutting. 



The flve-year-old Crimson Rambler that 

 we purchased of you and set out in '97 

 has been one of the sights of our town the 

 last few weeks. Hundreds of people have 

 been here to see it, and have used and 

 abused all the adjectives in the language 

 and still cannot describe it. As a result 

 several of our friends wish plants like it. 

 The dozen two-year-old plants sent me 

 this Spring have done and are doing 

 spiendidlv.
