The so-called “black roses” have been increas¬ 
ing each year in popularity. We are now able

shaded blackish-maroon. They are produced on long stems suitable for 
cutting. 65c each; 3 for $1.65; 12 for $6.00.

are like those of Paul’s Scarlet described above. Usually must be estab¬ 
lished for a few years before it becomes truly everblooming. Covered 
by Plant Patent No. 10. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 
GIANT BELLE 
of Portugal 
35c (’?,") 
GIANT BELLE OF PORTUGAL. Everblooming. This rose is 
creating a sensation wherever shown. The large buds of gigantic 
size open into huge flowers of beautiful salmon-pink. The vine 
is a strong grower and while it is everblooming, it is too busy 
growing to bloom the first year. Perfectly hardy in mild climates, 
but requires protection in the North. It is one of the loveliest 
Roses grown, and we believe you would be delighted with it. 35c 
each; 4 for $1.00.
