Marie Quiliot Although not a novelty, this grand rose 
, - ..vrk. possesses so many good qualities that we 
accord It first place among the white sorts. The color is pure snow 
white, sometimes faintly tinged pale yellow. The flowers are of 
magniBeent form, extra large, full and double, the buds are most 
beautiful and it is deliciously perfumed For outdoor culture it is 
unsurpassed, as it blooms continuously and profusely the entire 
season, being hterally smothered in flowers from early summer till 
killed by frost. It is also desirable for pot culture and" certainly de- 
serves to be placed in the front rank of everhlooming tea roses.

KINQDOM. (Sec cut.) This is one of the most re- 
markable plants ever introduced in the floral world. 
A single plar*. produces a great variety of colors 
ranging from crimson to light pink, through the 
various sh.-ides of red, orange, yellow, rose, pale 
pink and salmon, giving the appearance of a num- 
ber of varieties blooming at the same time. The 
plant is vcsiv strong and vigorous. The buds are 
beautiful, long and pointed* When fullv open the 
blossom is very lull, double and fragrant. It is cer- 
tainly a sensational varietv and one that will be- 
come very popular when its merits are fully known.

years ago, but its many points of excellence have 
but recently become known. It is therefore not an 
untried novelty, and after three years careful test- 
J.. , under many and trying circumstances we can 
unhesitatingly ofl^er it as a variety possessing unquestionable merit 
both for professional and amateur growers. It is a free everbloom- 
mg tea of great vigor of growth, clean and healthy habit and is one 
of the nnest bcdders we have ever seen. The stem.s are long and stiff 
the blossoms extra large and full, and one of the best keepers we have 
ever grown. The color is creamy white, sometimes delidtelv tinged 
pink on the ends of the petals. The buds are long and pointed and of 
extremely graceful spiiearance.
