 yellow, passing to rich creamy white, shaded with pale rose.

 for that reason, as well as for its vigorous growth, this is a 

 Rose of great value and beauty. The color is rich velvety 

 crimson, brilliantly beautiful. It blooms quickly and 

 abundantly; in fact is one of the freest blooming of Tea 

 Roses. The flowers are very prettily made, while the buds

 flowers from early Summer until late in Autumn; quite 

 hardy. It is valued very highly for its beautiful buds and 

 handsome flowers. The color is a bright apricot yellow, 

 changing to orange and fawn, sometimes tinted with rose. 

 Very fragrant. 



SOUVENIR DE CLAIRVAUX. An Extra-good 



Rose. — This is a remarkably tine Rose, producing flow- 

 ers similar to Bridesmaid ; the growth is extra strong, 

 fully as vigorous as Maman Cochet, one of the strongest- 

 growing Roses. For general cultivation this is a very fine 

 Rose, and certainly cannot be surpassed. The color is 

 bright pinkish rose, shading lighter or darker according to 

 the season. They are large, full and double, and remain 



on the bush for 

 a long time.

The Roses came to hand and in good 

 condition. 1 am well pleased with my 

 individual lot, and the other folks express 

 themselves as well satisfied. 



Mrs. Herr wishes me to thank you for 

 the Palm you sent her. She is much 



pleased with it.

 high order. In our open-ground trials the past year it

 value to the amateur or home grower. In growth it is
