Text Appearing After Image:
PINK LA FRANCE. (Hybrid Tea Rose.) We have always given this the first place, the queen of all the roses. Ac- counts come to us, from all quarters, every year, describ- ing the great profusion of its bloom from June to frost, and extolling its fragrance and immense size; it is of superb form, and double as a rose can be. No variety can surpass it in delicate coloring, silvery rose shades, with pink. It has a satin sheen over its petals. It is universally regarded as the most useful of roses, for it is hardly beyond question. It blooms continuously. The flower is large, finely built, endures for a great length of time, is exquisitely colored, and fragrant in the highest degree. A rose of which no one can have too many. Price, 10 cents: large size, 25 cents. WHITE LA PRANCE. (Augustine Guinnoiseau.) Here we have a beauty indeed, one we can recommend to all, whether for out-door culture or for pots in the house in winter. If you were to ask us to select six of the very finest roses for you, we should be sure to include it in the six. Do you know La France? If so, you know this elegant rose. It is identical with La Prance, except the color. It is pearly white, sometimes tinted with fawn. We predict for it far more popularity than La Prance ever attained. Don't fail to get this rose. Price, 10 cents t Itir^ce size 25 cents THE RED LA FRANCE (or Duchess of Albany). It is iden- tical with La France, excepting in three points. Those are: a more vigorous growth, a larger and more ex- panded flower, and a deep, even pink in color; not shaded, but what is called a solid color. Ladies prefer it on account of its beautiful color to any other rose for personal adornment, as it shows up well against either light or dark dress goods to a charming advantage. The growth of the plant is exceedingly vigorous, and the flowers, which are thrown up well above the foliage, are produced in extraordinary profusion, the plant being covered with handsome flowers. You will make no mis- take to plant this rose largely. Price, 10 cents; large size. 25 cents. • _ - . STRIPED LA FRANCE. (Madame Angelique Veyssett.) Evervbody knows the beautiful La France—a rose that alwavs had such a ready sale that the demand has never been'fully met. Striped La France combines all the good Qualities of La France in growth, fragrance, shape of bud and flower; in fact differs from it except m two points. First, it is freer in bloom than the parent; sec- ond, it is nicelv striped, the marking being plain and distinct, the variegation a beautiful bright rose on a satin-pink ground. This rose has received several certi- ficates of merit, as shown before the rose societies in this country as well as in Europe. Price, 10 cents; large ^ize 25 cents CLPMBING LA FRANCE. Identical with La France in every respect except in style of growth, which, in this new variety, is of a strong, climbing habit, making it an excellent pillar or porch rose. It is a sport of La France, and retains the charming peach-pink color and the ex- quisite fragrance which have made La France the favor- ite. Price,' 15 cents; larger plants, 35 cents. ALL ROSES GROWN ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.
