 We select this variety from among hundreds as extra good. 

 The flowers are full double and sweet; they are borne in 

 abundance on long, stiffstems all through the growing season. 

 The color is pure white, faintly tinged with blush and yellow ; 

 a good, healthy grower, and altogether a pleasing and satis- 

 factory Rose. 



JlrlRIE VAN HO^TTE 



A Beautiful Rose 

 This exceedingly lovely variety cannot be surpassed by any 

 Rose of its color. In the open ground it is truly magnificent. 

 The flowers are extra large, very double and full, and are de- 

 liriously scented. The color is pale canary yellow, passing to 

 rich creamy white, shaded with pale rose. It grows strong 

 and sturdily, and blooms constantly and with great freedom. 

 As an outdoor Rose for bedding, massing or for single speci- 

 mens it cannot be exceeded.

This splendid variety still holds the lead as being the most 

 elegant white tea Rose among the older sorts. The buds are 

 remarkably long and large, making this a splendid forcing 

 Rose. The color is pure snow white, sometimes very faintly 

 tinged with pale yellow. Remarkable in size and purity, and 

 always scarce.

 not be surpassed. Tbe color is bright pinkish rose, shading 

 lighter or darker according to the season ; they are large, full
