vigorous and erect growth, branching freely, and is a pro¬ 
fuse bloomer from early June until the end of the season.

duced in large clusters, the very marked venation render¬ 
ing the color into a lovely marbled silvery pink on the in¬

perfectly defined star-like center of a beautiful lemon- 
color ; the flowers are produced in great profusion ; alto¬ 
gether a superb variety. 
Lord Penzance Sweetbriar Roses 
The following list was originated and raised by Lord Penzance, of England. They are in great demand as they are per¬ 
fectly hardy and of vigorous growth, having luxuriant foliage. Flowers and foliage are fragrant. 
Sweetbriar Roses thrive where other Roses would fail. They grow in partial shade, are suitable for borders or may be 
trained as climbers, if desired. For growing in hedge form they are admirably suited, and may be pruned and trained to any 
height desired. Where plants are grown for flowering, they should be lightly pruned ; too severe pruning sacrifices too much 
of the flowering wood. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
