THE BEAUTIFUL TEA RosE—MAMAN COCHET 
Magna Charta. H. Perpetual. (1876.) A very husky, upright plant, pro- 
ducing enormous, cup-shaped blooms of rose-pink, entrancingly sweet-smelling; 
in constant bloom and among our prime favorites. 1.50 
Maman Cochet. Tea. (1893.) Another great favorite of the Lester 
Gardens, but only for mild climates. Flowers are large to 4 inches, very double and 
fragrant. Its special feature is its unique color—sometimes pale pink, sometimes 
cream, beautifully shaded with various tones of rose. Highly recommended. 
Both bush and climber. 1.50 
Maman Cochet White. Tea. (1896.) This is a white sport of the original 
Cochet. It graces our summer house, and produces long, curling satin buds, some- 
times flushed pale pink, of rarest beauty. 
Climbers only. 1.50 
Marechal Niel. Noisette. (1864.) ‘tA celebrity among climbing roses,” still 
unexcelled in the clear, golden-yellow class, when planted in warm, sunny locations, 
not hardy in severe climates. Says Mrs. Keays, in “Old Roses”—‘T he Primrose way 
of yellow Tea-Noisettes leads us to this loveliest of the solidly golden-yellow climb- 
ing roses. Very large and deep, full to the brim, very highly scented, very lasting on 
the plant or cut for the house; a rose to be looked up to, from below, as the stem is 
weak for the huge globular bloom. Marechal Niel caused a great sensation when it 
came out, and causes the like now wherever it is grown and blooms.” 
And from Dean Hole, 1869-—" .. . Since the time when a baby in floriculture, 
I first began to take notice of Roses, more than thirty years ago, three new stars 
of special brightness have glittered in our firmament—Gloire de Dijon, Charles 
Lefebvre, and Marechal Niel. The latter is, 1 think, the greatest acquisition, because 
we had no hardy Yellow Rose, previous to its introduction, realizing, as Marechal 
Niel does, in the wonderful beauty of its pendant flowers, their size, shape, colour, 
fragrance, longevity and abundance—our every desire and hope.” 2.00
