HYBRID TEA ROSES, Standard Varieties—Continued 
ETOILE DE FRANCE (Perrvet Ducher, 1905.)—The Rold medal 
Rose of France, and claimed by the raiser, J. Ternet Ducher, 
of Lyons, France, to be the finest Rose he has ever sent out. 
We believe, with him, that it has no superior. The flowers i 
are very larKC and borne on good, long, stiff stems; color a ■ 
lovely shade of clear, red-crimson velvet; very fragrant and 
keeps well. In England, where it has been tried extensively 
during the past season, it has caused quite a sensation. Our 
opinion is that it will become .as much of a favorite as La 
France. Keep your eye on this variety, as it is a stayer and 
altogether a grand variety. It is a good grower, a free 
bloomer, fine rich color, deliciously fragrant. What more 
can be said of a Rose?

GENERAL MacARTHUR (Hill. 1905.)—A red Rose that is al¬ 
ready a fixture in many gardens, particularly does it do well 
on the Pacific Coast. The shape is fine; color brilliant scar¬ 
let ; the only red Rose we know of that will give General i 
MacArthur a chase is Olivia. Be sure and try General Mac- I

MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT (Pernet Ducher, 1890.)—This 
charming Rose is in great demand, it is always scarce and

gating. Clear bright satiny-pink; flowers very large and ex¬ 
tremely showy; quite distinct. We are the largest growers 
of Testout in the world, and never have enough to go around.

value, every bit of talk about Mme. Segoiid Weber is in 
praise of her. Rosy-salmoii or flesh-pink in color, of the
