THE LYON ROSE 
We publish herewith a few further notes on the Lyon rose, culled 
from a recent edition of The Garden (Eng.) ; these notes include the 
best color description yet seen of the Lyon rose: 
Those who saw the fine group of roses of his own niising which M. 
Pernet-Ducher exhibited at the Franco-British exhibition will re- 
member, how grandly Lyon rose stood out among them all. the mar- 
velously taking color of shrimp pink being admired by the numerous 
visitors. The flowers, which are large, full and with broad petals, 
are generally borne singly, but occasionally two or three appear on 
the same shoot. The buds are tipped coral red, with a chrome yellow 
base. The half-open flowers are salmon pink, shaded with chrome 
yellow at the base, toning to shrimp pink at the tips, a color-combina- 
- tion that is certain to appeal to all classes. 
. l-jvidently Lyon raic mis ' caught on " in America, for they are already asking for it by the thousand. Lyon rose will be a fine market 
variety; certainly u will be a superb rose for pot culture. Last season on pot-grown plants the grand flowers, almost as perfect as a camellia 
were much admired. 1 year g^^j^ 
THE BABY RAMBLER 
Or Crimson Rambler in Bush Form. 
' Everblooming from June until late frosts." This is without doubt the most important addition to the list of bedding 
roses. Similar to the Crimson Rambler in every resfect, but instead of climbing the plafits form dwarf compact bushes, 
24 to 30 inches high. Is perfectly hardy and never attacked by disease or insects. As a forcing rose it outclasses the 
Crimson Rambler and indoors will flower the year round. Strong heavy 2-year-old plants, 60c. each; good young plants in 
3-mch pots, each 20c.: doz. $2.
