New Kose PEACE 
(MME. A. MEILLAND) _ Plant Patent No. 591 
This Rose is sensational. One marvel of it is the range of 
colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds 
with edges picoted cerise, to glorious 5-inch blooms of firm, 
alabaster-white, each petal edged with pink that seems to 
deepen as the flower slowly opens. Though the bloom is 
unusually large, long-lasting and constantly fresh-looking, 
its effect is that of delicate and almost ethereal loveliness. 
The individual petals are large and of great substance, 
gradually opening, a few at a time, around a high-poimted 
center until the fully open, very double flower shows a great 
center heart of tawny yellow. Each $2.50.
