"MME. HOSTE 



*'7V/I3=5]DK7yiE HOSTE." 



This is a true "Tea" variety of delicious fragrance and splendid 

 form. It occasionally assumes a creamy white shade with a clear amber 

 centre, but in either shade it is undoubtedly a very handsome Rose, and 

 owing to its strong, thrifty habit is never out of bloom. The best idea 

 of the value of this grand variety may be had in the knowledge that this 

 year there are tens of thousands of it growing for cut flowers to supply 

 the New York market, which, as is well known, is the most fastidious in 

 the country and demands the highest quality only. Price, 1st size, 50c. 

 each, S4.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 30c. each, S3. 00 per doz. ; 3d size, 15c. each, 

 $1.50 per doz.

A grand Rose for either summer or winter blooming. 

 Color, beautiful shell pink, deepening to bright rose at the 

 edge of the petals, the body of the flower being creamy white. 

 This combination of colors suggests the name of "The Tulip 

 Rose," by which title it is known all over Europe. 



No. 2. •' THE BRIDE." 



Every lover of fine Roses should have a plant of this 

 peerless variety, as it fills a place in Ever-Blooming Roses 

 hitherto wanting. " The Bride " is a pure white Rose of 

 large size and most perfect form. The buds are pointed and 

 the ends of the petals are slightly curved back, giving it a 

 most chaste and elegant appearance. This variety has the 

 most delicious tea fragrance, and is a strong-growing, free- 

 blooming Rose either for summer or winter flowering.
