46 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, QUEENS CO. N. Y. Guilds' JeWeL The Rose of Many Colors. Flowers of Various Colors Borne on the Same Plant at the Same Time. The most remarkable Rose in cultivation, as well as the most novel and beautiful one. Child's' Jewel produces flowers which range in color from dark orange-yellow to crimson, variegated, blotched, mottled, etc. A plant in bloom shows no two flowers alike. Some will be dark yellow; others light yellow, buff, saffron, light and dark crimson, pink blush, apricot, etc.; while others will be variegated in a most beautiful manner. As may well be im- agined, the sight which such a plant in bloom presents is a novel and beautiful one. It is a pure Tea Rose, the flower being large, delightful- ly fragrant, and in both bud and blossom exquis- itely beautiful. It is a free grower and a profuse bloomer, especially in the open ground. As a Rose novelty this is the most remarkable ever introduced, and as may well be imagined creates a sensation wherever seen, and sells readily at two and three dollars each when in bloom. Strong, healthy plants, for blooming at once, 25c. each; 3 for 60c.
