Madame HoHte — Lovely white Tea Hose. This Is unquestionably the rose par excellence of the set o£ new 
rcscs sent out in 1889. The size of the bud certainly startles the beholder, being long and pointed, and of a

she gracefully yielded the queenly honors to her fair rival. A strong, sturdy grower, with handsome foliage.

Maid of Honor (Carmine Mermet, new)

Clara Barton, but had to be changed, for 
the reason that another rose had been given
