This is the famotts rose we introduced as "Un- 
known Beauty" and which aHowcci our patrons to 
name by votes, askinjx them to select the name of some 
leading General in the late war. Thousands and thous- 
ands of votes were sent in from all pa»-ts of America and 
amonj? them General Grant proved ro be the favorite, 
23,875 votes naming the Gential, while close in the lead 
were Robert E. Lee and Geo. B. idcClellan. It is trtily an 
eYer-blooniing hardy rose and can be grown successfully 
by any one. The flowers are of an enormous size, cup 
shaped, full and deep, the petals thick, heavy and of a 
peculiarly rich velvety red color. It is a magnificent rose, 
either in bud or as an open flov.-er.andits deep color makes 
it especially desirable for cutting. In our opinion it 5s one 
of the very Yew varieties which will succeed in all paHs of 
the United States, doing equa.lly as well in the East as it 
will in the far West, while its hardiness and healthy habit 
enables it to withstand both the severe winters of our 
Northern states and the burning sun of the far South. Remember we do not recommend this rose for 
house culture at all, but for the open garden we have never seen one tliat eould surpass it in hardiness, 
habit of growth or beauty of coloring. You cannot procure TT- S. Grant except from us, aa we
