GOLDEN MOSS—CuHarMING 
Louis Gimard. Moss. (Gee-mar.) Similar in form and petalage to 
Gloire des Mousseux. At long last, believe we have found a truly brilliant red 
Moss rose on a beautiful plant. 2.00 
Mme. Louise Leveque. (1898.) We have become a bit canny in the 
use of the expression “‘our favorite rose,”’ for each season brings new qualities 
good and not so good, in all varieties—the Queen of Flowers is intensely femi- 
nine. But Madame has persistent virtues—she glows with health, gives gener- 
ously of her large, double soft-pink flowers in spring and autumn also—And her 
fragrance is more Chanel than Chanel! 
“It would be impossible to add anything worth-while to all the true and lovely things 
written about the Moss Rose. I just feel that were I a young man about to be married, I 
should offer the lady of my choice a cluster of buds and half-grown blossoms of Mme. 
Louise Leveque, and if she didn’t think they were the most entrancing things she'd ever 
seen, I would ask for the ring back.’’ Congratulations Mrs. Prefers-to-be Anony- 
mous—you have accomplished ‘‘the impossible.”’ 3: for 5.25 each 2.00 
Pink Moss (Ancient.) The charming mother of all the Mosses, brought 
to England from Holland about 1596,—Continues among the most popular of 
our soft pink varieties, due to its generous bloom over a long spring season— 
generally repeating freely in fall. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75
