Our New GOLD MEDAL Rose, 



JUBILEE 



Tbis grand new Rose was sold at retail only last year ; therefore, we still practi- 

 cally control the stock. As a protection to our customers, therefore, we will attach our 

 lead seal to every plant, and whether it is obtained from us direct, or from a local 

 florist, this seal must be attached to the plant to insure its genuineness. SEE FAC- 

 SIMILE OF SEAL TO RIGHT AND LEFT HEREWITH. 



IT is a true Hybrid Remontant Rose, perfectly hardy, blooming in the fall as well as in the early summer, very vigorous, large dark 

 green foliage, one of its distinguishing features ; short-jointed, long flower stems, and branches freely, blooms most abundantly, 

 three flowers and over on each shoot, the ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose. The flowers are very large, reaching six inches 

 across under good culture; outer petals partially reflexed and recurved, the centre petals upright and very gracefully disposed' 

 giving grace and finish without showing the centre ; they last a long time when cut. The buds are long and rounded, the petals 

 falling away gracefully, revealing the rich velvety texture. The fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very lasting. 



Its Wealth of Color. — A pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson red and velvety maroon red in the depths of the 

 petals. The coloring is alive," as one expressed it. ' It fairly glows in its rich warmth of coloring," another said. The 

 rich velvety finish to the petals is all its own, and it is not even approached by any other Rose yet introduced. It is admirable, 

 unique, and, as Mr F. Schuyler Matthews, the celebrated artist said. "This Rose contains the darkest color, combined with 

 pure color, of which nature is capable." It required centuries and the skill of the world's hybridizers to produce this peerless Rose, 

 pertect in all its attributes, peerless in its magnificent color, and it is fair to assume that it will again require the centuries to produce its 

 equal — if it ever is produced— for nature is not prolific in repetitions.
