GENERAL JACQUEMINOT—"THE Rose of our Gardens.” 
PRANGIO feeleolene °(1947.)- 15-20 feet. 
Of all the many seedlings developed by Mr. Lester, in hybridization with 
his favorite rose Kathleen, this one he considered the finest, and we think 
is most worthy to bear his name. From its Musk rose origin, ccemes its 
tremendous vigour, and its great masses of blocm. Flowers are in clusters 
of 25 to 30, about two inches across, opening pale pink, turning white, then 
drop quickly. Among all our mass spring-flowering climbers, none are 
more beautiful. Back in Medina, Ohio where winters are cold (b-r-r-r), and 
Roy Shepherd holds forth, this has proved to be the hardiest musk hybrid, 
and the most profuse. Roy says so. 150

tall-growing, and ... lovely! 3 for 4.00 each 1.50

* ?Twas a Jacqueminot rose that she gave me at parting, 
Sweetest flower that blows, ’twas a Jacqueminot rose 
In the love-garden close with the swift blushes starting, 
’T was a Jacqueminot rose that she gave me at parting.” 
Says Dean Hole, in his ‘Book About Roses,’’ 1865—‘General Jacqueminot, 
for so many summers THE Rose of our gardens, is still a glory and a grace, its 
petals, soft and smooth as velvet, glowing with vivid crimson, and its growth being 
free and healthful. I well remember the time when we welcomed this conquering 
hero, in his brilliant uniform, as being invincible.” oor ).20° “eacheZ.00
