great beauty. The flowers are of enormous size, three to four 
inches across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom pink, with 
a clear white eye and clusters of yellow stamens. These 
flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in 
full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten.

the list of hardy climbers. Rose experts pronounce it to be 
the best hardy climber introduced in many years. Its popu¬ 
larity is already assured. Large flowers of a clear lively 
pink borne on large trusses.

glossy, undulated holly-like foliage. The buds are long and 
flowers of golden yellow are large and semi-double. A valu¬ 
able acquisition. Needs winter protection north of Wash¬ 
ington, D. C. 
EUGENE JACQUET—The earliest and most profuse flowering 
of all the climbers and of the easiest cultivation. Almost 
every eye produces a handsome truss of fragrance, cherry- 
red flowers. Eugene Jacquet can be bloomed in February 
without difficulty. It flowers a week earlier than Tauserid- 
schoen or Rosarie under the same conditions and carries 
handsome, dark green, mildew resisting foliage. It holds 
the flowers unusually long—the color improves with age. 
Eugene Jacquet should be forced so as to show color ten 
days before Easter to be at its best for Easter sales.

forcing variety. Eugene Jacquet; dainty pure pink flowers 
in great abundance. A fine forcing climber. 
MARY LOVETT (H. W.)—In thi.s Dr. Van Fleet has brought 
out another Wichuraiana Hybrid, “White Dr. Van Fleet.”

piece. Blooms two or three times during the summer months.
