corsage roses, and for fancy table decora¬

This delightful little “sweetheart” rose is 
tin cverblooming polyantha, and will fall 
into the Cecil Brunner class for choice cor¬

sages and for line, dainty floral work. 
The color is absolutely new, and quite 
startling in its brilliancy— golden yellow, 
tipped with clear, bright cerise; the ar¬ 
rangement reminds one of Mine. Watteville. 
The little buds and blooms are very per¬ 
fect in form, elegantly finished, and borne 
in small panicles, or singly. 
The foliage is narrow, long and sharply 
pointed, a deep, glossy green—a very beau¬ 
tiful setting for the lovely little doll-roses. 
The habit is better than in Brunner, a 
bench of Baby-Doll being an even parterre 
of delicious color. 
It won the medal for best novelty rose at 
the Cleveland show. Everybody who grows 
Mrs. Bussell well, will want this fine, light 
pink sport; the tone of color is excellent, 
and it has all the rounded beauty of the 
parent; a fine addition to our “big” roses. 
Own Root —$30 per 100; $250 per 1000. 
Grafted—$35 per 100; $300 per 1000.
