STRIPED ROSE, Beauty of Glazcnwood. A 
Hybrid lea, of a most distinct and novel kind. The ground

ly and beautifully marked with crimson. Delicately sweet, 
ft is impossible to convey by description the marking and 
beauty of this charming Rose. 
“ A Rose of golden-yellow, striped and flaked with scarlet
