tos, which it greatly resembles in form of bud, while 
the color is deep cream, sometimes edged with pink.

and better habit than the parent. Almost sure to 
prove a good forcing variety. 25 cts.

good substance, very double and full ; rich, creamy 
white, tinged and shaded with line golden yellow;

clear rose. 20 cts.

elegant Roses in cultivation. The plant is a strong, 
vigorous grower; flowers porcelain-rose, 
elegantly shaded with a rich, decided crim- 
son, that never quite obscures the ground

separate and distinct. Very sweet ; a 
beauty. 20 cts.

est to the Rose grower. It has large, full, 
pure ivory-white flowers, magnificent in 
bud, and large, strong canes, with hand-
