Variegated ROGER LAMBELIN Freaks in Roses are not uncommon, but few have become permanently fixed that are of such striking character as the new Roger Lambelin.

These are distinctly marked with a white margin against the crimson, forming a sharp and unique contrast. The fragrance is delightful. The growth is vigorous." 25 cts. each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid.
