flowers' L NEYR0N_Deep rose color : splendid foliage and habit, with large 
PERSIAN YELLOW— Bright yellow, small, nearly full. It is desirable to 
grow more than one plant, and by pruning one this year in the usual way, and 
the other plant next year, annual crops of flowers may be had. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN OR LA ROSIER— Very dark crimson; 
one of the best dark roses; unexcelled In every respect. 
SOLEIL D’OR— New hardy yellow rose. The goal for which many of the 
world’s greatest hybridizers have been striving has at last been reached and 
we have a double flowering Yellow Rose, hardy enough to withstand the win- 
aters of the Northern States. Has blossomed all summer on the coast. 
Soleil D’Or is the result of a cross between Persian Yellow and Antoine Dutch- 
er, retaining many of the characteristics of Persian Yellow, the bark being 
much the same and foliage resembling that of its parent but produced more 
plentifully, while in growth it is more branching and more vigorous. The 
flower is perfection in form with conical buds, expanding into a large and 
full globular flower, with incurved inner petals. The buds are a marvelous 
shade of rich chrome yellow with just a tinge of coppery rose in the center. 
The fully expanded flower is beautiful in its blending of orange yellow, red- 
dish and golden nasturtium red, forming a coloring impossible to satisfactor- 
ily describe. This grand seedling has been shown at all the large Rose exhi- 
bitions in Europe and has received the highest awards possible to grant at 
every display.
