never show a centre and remain fresh and pleasing 
for a remarkably long time. The color is creamy- 
white with pink shading? in the depths of the petals, 
the coloring being pronounced in the centre It is 
a grand Rose for the garden; its freedom of bloom and 
magnificent flowers render it extremely valuable. It 
is deliciously fragrant. (See cut.)

HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT 
UNQUESTIONABLY the finest Rose of its color 
w introduced in a decade. Whether considered from 
the standpoint of the commercial cut-flower grower or 
from its fitness for garden work, this Rose is without 
a superior, and it is doubtful if it has an equal. The 
growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very hand¬ 
some, but the glory of the variety is in its flower. It is very 
large, both in the bud and in the expanded flower, double 
to the centre, and opens beautifully. The coloring is nearer 
like Devoniensis than any Rose on the market at the 
present time, but it is lighter and approaches nearer to a 
white. Technically described, it could be called a rosy-flesh, 
very soft in the centre, and shaded with a lighter flesh at 
the end of the petals. (See cut.) 
Price, 1st size, 50c.^ each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 
53.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1 50 per doz.
