The Sunset Rose is the floral sensation of the season. 
Like all other flowers that are, because of their novelty, 
remarkably high priced, this is in great demand. A 
leadiug belle at a recent reception wore a corsage 
bouquet composed of twelve buds of the Sunset, which 
cost $50.

his part to keep up the reputation.
