 •••••••••••• 



Helen Gould is a thorough- 

 bred Rose — a blue-blooded, 

 pedigreed variety. It is the re- 

 sult of a cross between Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria and Mad. 

 Caroline Testout, a parentage 

 that insures hardiness, vigorous 

 growth, freedom of bloom and 

 magnificent flowers. The flowers 

 are grandly made, full and per- 

 fectly double, with long, pointed 

 buds, produced in amazing profusion on long, 

 strong shoots. In color the flowers are warm, 

 rosy crimson. Young plants, one year old, have, 

 in the open ground, produced as many as seventy 

 perfect flowers, equal in form, color and fra- 

 grance to American Beauty. It will please you from the day you 

 receive it. Hardv in all localities.
