SOLEIL d’or, or golden sun. (Flowers £ natural size.) 
GENERAL jacqueminot. 
rELLOWROSE SOLEIL D'OR, GOLDEN SUN 
A cross between “ Persian Yellow ” and “ Antoine Ducher.” 
It retains a good deal of the character of the former in the wood 
and bark, but the foliage is vastly improved, being large and very 
plentiful. The habit of the plant is robust, producing vigorous 
shoots in abundance, branches, straight and of good size. The 
coloring of the flowers is very rich, a marvelously rich shade of 
chrome-yellow with a glint of coppery-rose in the center. The 
expanded flower is full, large and globular, the center petals 
being well incurved, forming a perfectly double bloom. The 
coloring in the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, 
Turneresque in its blending of reddish-gold, orange-yellow, 
nasturtium-red and opaline-pink. Words are inadequate to 
fittingly describe the almost riotous luxury of rich, warm color 
contained in each bud and open flower. A Hardy Yellow Rose, 
one that is really hardy in the north in this country, has been the 
goal for which the world’s best hybridizers have been striving 
for years. This rose is not grown on its own roots; all are 
budded on briar stock. {See cut.)

New Hybrid Perpetual Rose, “ URANIA/'

shade. The great value of this is that it is a con¬ 
tinuous-blooming variety having the habit, hardiness 
and foliage of the Hybrid Perpetual class. A vigor¬ 
ous grower with long straight stems, large handsome 
foliage. Price, 1st size, $1.00 each, 3d size, 50c. each,
