MRS. FRANCIS KINS (Everblooming) Plant Patent 
No. 253— A rose that is difficult to illustrate in color, 
although the color plate at the right is an attempt to 
present some of the attractive features of this delight¬ 
ful rose. It belongs to a new race of roses, being a 
hybrid of Nutkana and related to Leonard Barron, first 
of that breed. All hybridizers agree that a good white 
Rose is hardest to produce. This probably is why such L 
a connoisseur as Mrs. Francis King, one of the founders V 
of the Garden Club of America, specified a white ' 
Rose as the one she wished to bear her name. She 
wisely wanted a Rose not easily duplicated. To make 
the problem more difficult, she requested "white gold" 
with the arctic vigor and hardiness of the Alaskan 
Rose, Nutkana. The bloom Is very large and full, 
carried on a long upright stem, white at first, tinted 
cream and ivory, eventually turning to pure white, with 
soft gold in the center. It has the pleasing fragrance 
of wild roses and Is a prolific, continuous bloomer.
