Pink 8oupert. 



A Superb Hardy Ever=blooming Rose — Blooms Continuously; 

 Producing Immense Clusters of Deep Pink Flowers. 



(See colored-plate illustration, page 47 of Guide.) 

 This lovely Tea Polyantha Rose is an off- j flat, and finely made 



spring of that famous variety, Clotilde Sou- j 



pert, and was introduced by us three years ago. 



It is a genuine ever-blooming monthly Rose, 



and as such is the most triumphant result of j 



scientific hybridization yet accomplished in I 



this country. In this branch of Rose growing 



we are the pioneers and have no competition, j 



Producing new Roses by hybridization is a 



leading specialty with us. 



Pink Soupert is, properly speaking, the ! 



daughter of Clotilde Soupert, the latter va- j 



riety having produced the seed from which 



this superb Rose grew. It is identical with its 



parent except in color of flower. It has that 



same stocky, sturdy habit of growth and, if 



anything, is a freer bloomer than it. The ! 



flowers are large and are delightfully fragrant, \ 



Strong plants, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for St 



in short, identical in 

 form with Clotilde Soupert. The color is a 

 rich, dark, shining pink, sometimes nearly 

 red, and in contrast with Clotilde Soupert, 

 the effect is extremely handsome. For out- 

 door planting it has no equal. It is the best 

 for general planting. Commencing in May and 

 continuing until late in October, it produces 

 cluster after cluster of exquisite flowers 

 throughout the entire growing season. Each 

 shoot terminates with clusters of flowers. 

 Small plants, when but six months old, fre- 

 quently produce fifty perfect flowers, un- 

 equaled for bedding and splendid for hedging. 

 Hardy without protection, but a light covering 

 during severe Winters will prove beneficial. 

 This is the Rose for the millions ; it suits 

 everybody.
