THE production of new Roses by skillful 

 hybridization is a leading specialty with 

 us, and in introducing this superb new 

 variety, our latest origination, we feel 

 that the highest degree of perfection 

 yet attained has been reached. After four 

 years of careful trials and observations we pro- 

 nounce Coronet to be the sweetest, largest and 

 freest blooming Hybrid Tea Rose in cultivation. 

 It is a cross between that superb variety cele- 

 brated as the largest Rose known, Paul Ney- 

 ron, and Bon Silene, a grand old favorite of 

 vigorous and healthy habit of growth. Coronet 

 is a true ever-blooming Hybrid Tea, and is 

 identical in form and size with Paul Neyron. 

 No description or illustration can do justice to 

 the remarkable beauty and splendor of its 

 flowers. They are grand in every way. From 

 the time the plant is four inches high it blooms 

 steadily, bearing in unbroken continuity, on 

 good, stiff stems, magnificent large flowers 

 that frequently measure from four to six inches 

 in diameter. The form is full, deep and won- 

 derfully double. It is full to the centre, and 

 when entirely open the flowers do not look 

 unlike Peonies. This resemblance is made all 

 the more striking by the peculiar color found 

 in Coronet, which is absolutely unlike any Rose 

 we know. In the bud the color is a deep, rich

Is as 



carmine, which, as the flowers open, lightens 

 to a soft, clear pink, with each petal distinctly 

 edged with silvery gray. The eflfect is beau- 

 tiful. 



The fragrance is delicious—different from 

 that of Princess Bonnie, but fiiUy as sweet. 

 Those who have drank in the exquisite fra- 

 grance of the Rose of Damascus, growing in 

 its Syrian home — ^the Rose whose fragrance 

 for centuries has been celebrated in sacred 

 script and secular lore — tell us that the fra- 

 grance of Rosa Damascena is only equaled by 

 that of Coronet. Certainly the fragrance is ex- 

 ceedingly delicious and dainty. 



In flower and foliage it resembles Paul Ney- 

 ron, while in vigor of growth the Bon Silene 

 blood is shown. It is a strong, healthy grower, 

 forming a compact bush. In the open ground, 

 where it Is hardy, it does splendidly, com- 

 mencing to bloom early in the season and con- 

 tinuing until severe freezing weather ; slight 

 protection during Winter will be beneficial. 



Considering the immense size of the flow- 

 ers, their fragrance and the great freedom with 

 which they are produced, we do not think we 

 are rating Coronet too high when we say that 

 it will prove to be the most valuable and satis- 

 factory Rose for general cultivation sent out 

 for many years.
