RICHMOND.

ing variety that thrives under the same conditions

The shipper finds it invaluable because it can be 
cut as tight as Am. Beauty for shipment; stem, 
foliage, color, all are ideal for a quick-opening, free- 
flowering, fragrant red rose; of the Liberty type, 
but producing four fine buds to Liberty’s one.
