SOUVENIR DE PIERRE NOTTING. 



'^T'HIS grand new Rose was raised by the well-known rosarians, 

 Soupert et Notting, of Luxembourg, and has been well 

 tested in this country, showing that it is well adapted to 

 our climate. It is of strong, bushy habit, with splendid, deep 

 green foliage, strong and healthy, so that it is almost immune 

 against disease. It never was attacked by mildew last summer, 

 when nearly all Roses were badly affected 



The flowers are very full, large and extraordinarily lasting, 

 keeping over a week when cut. The buds are very long, of a 

 most beautiful shape and stand proudly erect on long, straight 

 stpms. The color is yellow with very delicate Chinese pink and 

 saffron-yellow shadings; the centre of the flower is a very rich 

 golden-yellow. It is delightfully fragrant. 



In its abundance of blossoms this grand new variety surpasses 

 almost all other Roses of every type; never without buds or 

 blossoms throughout the season. 



Price, plants from 3 inch pots, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100.
