shade of chamois or salmon-yellow, deepest at 
center, sometimes passing to rich creamy white, 
finely tinted orange and fawn. The flowers

long, large buds until Madame Hoste was intro- 
duced, when she gracefully yielded the queenly 
honors to her fair rival. A strong, sturdy grow- 
er, with handsome foliage. Both buds and flow- 
ers are of extraordinary size and beautifully 
formed, with large outer petals.

ter for general purposes, or that gives as many 
perfect-shaped flowers on nice, long stems. The 
color is rich, velvety crimson, exceedingly bright 
and attractive. The plant is of vigorous growth, 
and very free-flowering; a constant bloomer. 
Fine for summer bedding or pot culture.

ed brilliantly on the outside petals, color increas- 
ing in intensity toward the end of the petal, and 
approaching the center of the bud each petal 
increases in intensity of color. From our knowl- 
edge and experience In growing Roses, we do 
not hesitate to say that this is one of the great- 
est acquisitions to the Tea family.

colored Tea Roses. Very nearly hardy in most

and double, deliclously sweet; color pure white,

fuse and continues in bloom.

South, where they stand the winters, nothing 
can compare with them for beauty of foliage 
and flowers. They may be kept out-of-doors in 
the North by laying 
them down and cov- 
ering well. We have 
a long list of Climb- 
ing Roses.
