40c each, 3 for $1.00. 
Almost as hardy as an oak. Will thrive in 
any section of the United States. Blossoms 
freely the entire summer. This is the famous ro.se we intro- 
duced as "Unknown Beauty" and which we allowed our pa- 
trons to name by votes. Thousands and thousands of votes 
were sent in from all parts of America, and Gen. Grant proved 
to be the favorite. It is truly an ever-blooming hardy rose, 
and can be grown by any one. The flowers are of an enormous 
size, cup-shaped, full and deep, tlie petals thick, heavy and of 
a peculiarly rich velvety red color. It is a magnificent rose, 
either in bud or as an open fJower, and its deep color makes it 
especially desirable for cutting. It is one of the very few va- 
rieties which will succeed in all parts of the United States, flo- 
ing equally as well in the East ,a» it will in the tar West, while 
its hardiness and healthy habit enable it to withstand both the 
severe winters of our northern states and the burning sun of 
tile far South. Rememlier, we do not recommend this Rose 
for house culture at all, but for the open garden we have never 
seen one that could surpass it in hardiness, habit of growth oi 
beauty of coloring. ;
