Wherever the Rose is known, it is the queen, and deservedly so. In size, color, form and fragrance it has no equal. Of quick, healthy, bushy growth, either In pots or outdoors, with magnificent foliage, it produces in abundance glo- rious buds and large, deep, double flowers of immense size. The three kinds below make a gorgeous combination.

Our plants are grown in specially prepared soil by our own expert growers. We guarantee our plants to be true to name, absolutely first-class in every particular.
