this excellent Rose for the average planter.

vigorous, tall and erect. No. 1 Grade, 85 
cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00.

well-known variety, Mme. Butterfly. The 
combination of colors in pink and buff- 
yellow is present but the tones of pink are 
noticeably deeper. Slightly fragrant. Vig¬ 
orous, erect. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra

as well known as its pink relative. Intensely 
fragrant. Very vigorous, tall and bushy.
