long straight stems. The color is a lovely shade of deli- 
cate pink, exquisitely shaded; it Is exceedingly fragrant. 
Ulrich Brunei- — An elegant flower, finer 
in every way than "General Jacqueminot;" 
bright cherry, exquisite. 
Madame Gabrielle Luizet. — Justly 
esteemed one of the most charming roses 
extant. The color is a fine satin rose, inlaid 
with silvery-rose, the color heightened at the 
centre. It is one of the sweetest and most 
beautiful roses grown. Eagerly sought after 
by all who have once seen this charming 
flower. A strong, sturdy grower, blooming 
very freely; very hardy. At exhibitions, in 
competition with hundreds of other roses, it stands out prominent, a queen am ong " the Queen of Flowers . 1 '
