the flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems 
and produced in great profusion. Excellent for 
fording and a fine decorative variety. Growth

splendid garden rose. Price, 1-year plants,

Mrs. Aaron Ward. yeHo'^w^Rose 
from France. Visitors to my Rose gardens go 
into raptures over this wonderful acquisition. 
The variety produces as many flowers as any. 
Blooms are very large, of exquisitely fine form, 
and are of a delicate Indian-yellow color, 
which shades lighter toward the edges as the 
flower opens. The demand for this Rose so 
far has exceeded the supply. Now, however, I 
have a large supply of sturdy, two-year bushes. 
Price, 1-year mailing size, 25 cts.; strong 2- 
year plants, 50 cts.; 3-ycar plants, 60 cts. 
If your order is large, write for special 
price.
