Talisman Rose. Like its parent it Is 
upright in growth and produces blooms 
in great abundance. 'The bud of this 
widely popular variety Is maroon-red, 
and it opens to a well-formed, fragrant 
bloom of deep and velvety blood-red

of red unique among Roses. A re¬ 
markable feature is the total absence 
of yellow. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.

season. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.

large (4 Inches or more in diameter), 
fully double, and are of a soft golden

fragrant, and freely produced. $1.00
