PINK LA FRANCE. — Has become so famous as one of the greatest of Roses for general planting, that a description 

 is hardly needed. It is exceedingly sweet and handsome, and altogether one of the loveliest and most desirable Roses 

 one can plant. Both flowers and buds are of grand size ; the color is a lovely shade of silvery pink, tinged with crimson ; 

 delicious fragrance, exceedingly sweet ; very full and wonderfully beautiful ; commences to bloom soon after planting 

 and continues until stopped by freezing weather. Hardy with protection. 



RED LA FRANCE (Duchess of Albany).— A 



superb Rose; resembles Za France, hwK. is much deeper 

 in color, hence the name Red La France. It is a continuous 

 and free bloomer, producing a great abundance of lovely 

 buds and flowers all through the season ; extra large, ele- 

 gant in form, very double and full ; remarkably fragrant ; 

 color brilliant rose pink, exquisitely shaded. It is recom- 

 mended as one of the largest, sweetest and best Roses for 

 general planting in open ground or greenhouse culture. 



WHITE LA FRANCE (Augustine Guinoisseau). 

 — This magnificent new Rose is a Pure Wnite La France, 

 having just a breath of rose-tinted blush, decidedly cloud- 

 ing the depths of its broad petals; the buds and flowers 

 are extra large, very full and finely formed ; the fragrance 

 is delicious. It is a free, continuous bloomer. 



STRIPED LA FRANCE resembles Pink La France- 

 in every particular with the exception of color, which is 

 bright, satiny pink, distinctly striped with bright rose. See 

 colored-plate illustration elsewhere in this book. 



YELLOW LA FRANCE (Mad. Pernet Ducher). 



— Very pretty flowers, semi-double and of medium size; 

 color bright canary yellow. By all odds the best new 

 P'rench Rose of its color introduced for many years. 



CLIMBING LA FRANCE.— A sport from La France 



and identical with it in every particular, save its climbing 

 habit of growth. One of the most magnificent climbing 

 Roses. It is a strong, rapid grower, producing its splen- 

 did, large, delicate, silvery pink flowers in great abundance.
