strong-growing plant with majestic, carmine-red

flowering varieties in our fields. Because of color, 
growth, and blooming qualities, it seems to be an 
exceptionally good Rose for any purpose. While 
the name is long and almost unpronounceable, 
the Rose itself is outstanding and was awarded 
the Gold Medal in Saverne. See front cover. 
$1.50 each. 
MME. JOSEPH PERRAUD. HT. (J. Gaujard,
