pink on the reverse of the petal. When partly open 
it is slightly cupped ; the inner petals are apparently 
quilled. When fully expanded it is an immense half 
sphere of the softest satiny texture ; a perfect rose ; 
being in all the particulars of shape, color, size and 
durability remarkable and attractive. It is deli- 
ciously fragrant. 15 cents.
