Silver Columbia 



HYBRID TEAS— 

 Continued 



Silver 

 Columbia 



This rose is a sport of 

 the famous Columbia. 

 The color is a clear 

 shade of deep silver 

 pink, lighter than thai, 

 of its parent. The 

 color deepens towards 

 the center. The flow- 

 ers are larj^er than 

 Columbia, inc^lined to 

 be flat, but magnili- 

 cently formed on Ion?;, 

 strong stems, which 

 make it an excellent 

 rose for cutting. It. 

 has all the g^owin^' 

 characteristics of its 

 parent, but is a more 

 profuse and a more 

 constant bloomer — 

 blooming from one 

 season's end to the 

 other. The foliage 

 is heavy, of a dark 

 green, remarkably f rei^ 

 from disease. Very 

 liardy, and extremely 

 easy to grow — adinii - 

 ably adapted for tiie 

 amateur's garden, re- 

 quiring hltK; atten- 

 tion, and producing a 

 wealth of beauty.
