PORTADOWN FRAGRANCE—"A Great Irish Rose.” 
PORTADOWN FRAGRANCE. Low-growing. 
A great Irish rose from the McGredy family to delight connoisseur or 
novice, with a flare for color and a keenly sensitive nose. 
Very large, high-centered blooms, in luminous and over-laying shades 
of crange, salmon-pink and scarlet,—perfumed to the Queen's taste.

PINKeSCATIN. ARS 76%. Tall. 
The catalog-writer, being still an ardent amateur at heart, is a little con- 
fused with the professional rating of Pink Satin as a floribunda, for all the 
ancestors mentioned in its family tree are hybrid teas, back to William, the 
Conqueror, beyond whom I refuse to go. (Floribunda or hybrid tea, what 
does it really matter?). 
The large, semi-double flowers are aptly named,—borne in all-season 
and all-weather profusion. Extremely hardy. 8 for.4.00" eachil.ov 
PINK PRINCESS. Patent 459. ARS 81%. Very tall. 
Not the latest of the Brownell creations, but perhaps still the finest and the 
hardiest, considering she has survived 25° below zero, and came up 
smiling. Flowers are very large, many-petalled, intensely fragrant, borne 
both singly and in clusters, so heavy at times without cutting, we fear for 
the welfare of the plant. A great companion to our favorite Brownell, 
eCurly Pink.” 
“These plants really came into their own in late summer; they seem to improve in 
form, size and even color with each successive blooming”, Hortense Wild. 1.75
