rose shown in the upper left hand corner of this page is a magnificent \ 
variety and has taken first prizes at all the great flower shows here and in

now known to the floricultural world. It grows splendid buds and its 
immense flowers, which are from 4 to 5 inches across, arc pcrfcctlv double 
ana most delightfully fragrant with large thick petals, and arc very durableand 
handsome. It has bright, shining green leaves, elegantly veined. A very healthy

the standpoint of st/.e, hardiness, color and fragrance, this rose is the finest. 
We cannot speak too highly of this superb rose, which grows in popularity with
