ROSE, half natural size. 



The new Tea Rose, "Sunset," is certain to lead the 

 fashion in Roses this winter. It has a combination of all 

 the best qualities, delicious tea fragrance, lar ;e size, 

 perfect form, and its color, which combines the richest 

 shades of saffron and orange, is entirely distinct from 

 that of any other Rose. It has just received a first class 

 certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 

 land—a testimonial never given unless to Roses of the 

 first-class. Our plants of this beautiful Rose are in the 

 very best condition to produce buds for this winter, 

 being in health and vigor. 



Extra Large Plants, 2 to 3 feet high, $3 each.
