Xo red Rose of recent introduction has 

 created more of a sensation. As it becomes 

 better known, it is even more highly es- 

 teemed and there are few kinds which have 

 more real merit. As free-blooming as a 

 Tea Rose, its immense a.nd fragrant scarlet- 

 crim.son flowers are borne on long stems, 

 making it a rival of American Beauty, 

 almost equaUy as gorgeous in appearance.

 cts. each, $1 for 5, postpaid. Two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cts. each.
