 ious Rose, wonderfully free in the easy manner in

 ment which is a splendid combination of cerise-

President Jac Sniits (Verschuren & Sons, 1928). For 

 brilliancy in color, a rich velvety crimson-scarlet, 

 exceptionally long pointed buds of ideal shape, held 

 gracefully on long stems and produced most gener- 

 ously, we know of no other variety that is its equal, 

 but having only 18 to 20 petals, usually arranged 

 in three rows, the flowers expand very quiQkly, 

 showing the golden stamens, but even in its fully 

 expanded form its brilliancy of color is unequaled 

 by any other variety of this type. $50.00 per 100

 remarkable beauty both in form and color. The 

 long pointed buds are of a coppery-red stained red

 right habit with healthy dark green glossy foliage.

 different from any other Rose, both in coloring .nnd 

 formation, the very large full flower which is in- 

 formally but artistically arranged, is of a lively 

 shade of shrimp pink or coral-red with a golden 

 coppery suffusion which is heightened by the re- 

 flection from the golden base and reverse of the 

 petals. A most unique and striking flower in al! 

 stages of develonment. Habit strong and vigorou.<;.

 scented. $75.00 per 100.
