PARADE OF MODERN ROSES 
MATADOR 
-<——Plant Patent No. 170.) 
Alluring Carmen might have 
held this very Rose in her 
lovely lips as she threw a 
tantalizing glance over a 
shrugging shoulder—and set 
Spain afire. The bloom is 
full of bright crimson petals 
—with that soft, velvety 
depth and richness that 
makes it blend with any 
other color. It’s a cut Rose 
—but also a good bedding 
variety—and an excellent 
exhibition Rose. 
Fragrance.. soft, romantic, per¬ 
suasive.

erlands and France;

MRS. FRANCIS KING 
(Plant Patent No. 253.) 
As haunting as the white fog from 
the sea is this mystic Rose, named 
for one of the founders of the Gar¬ 
den Club of America. It’s a Rose 
not easily duplicated with vigor 
and freedom of bloom inherited 
from Rosa nutkana, the wild rose of 
Alaska, one of its ancestors. 
Color .a clean “white” white, 
with just a suggestion of 
pale gold in the center 
of each bloom. 50 to 60 
petals. 
Early .often blooms ten days 
ahead of its neighbors 
and continues till frost. 
Fragrance.. the cool, soft odor of 
wild Roses. 
Height. about 30 inches. 
$1.00 each $10.00 per doz. 
Yet the Rose has one powerful virtue to boast. 
Above all flowers of the field; 
When its leaves are all dead, and fine colours are lost. 
Still how sweet a perfume it will yield! 
—Isaac Watts
