ry MRS. FRANCIS KING (Everblooming) Plant 
Patent No. 253. All hybridizers agree that a good 
white rose is hardest to produce. This is probably 
. why such a connoisseur as Mrs. Francis King, one 
of the founders 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 diffcult 
she specified “‘White Gold’’ with the 
arctic vigor and hardiness of the Alsa- 
kan Rose Nutkana. The blossoms are 
very large, carried on long upright 
stems, white at first tinted cream and 
ivory, turning to pure white with a 
soft gold centre. It has the pleasant fragrance of 
wild roses and is a prolific continuous bloomer.
