BELLE SIEBRECHT. ^^^^ lovely variety was introduced 



'- last year. Another year's trial gave 



us a better opportunity to judge of its merits. We believe 

 it to be a Rose of more than ordinary value for amateur 

 culture for these reasons : it is hardy with protection ; it is 

 as pretty as La France or Duchess of Albany and by far a 

 freer bloomer than either. The plants commence to bloom 

 when quite young, and during the growing season the 

 bush usually has buds or flowers on it. The color is bril- 

 liant rich deep pink ; the form is exquisitely beautiful. A 

 Rose of remarkable merit. See page 47 for illustration 

 and full description, 25 cts. each ; two-year old plants, 

 50 cts. each.
