It very much resembles Souv. de Pres. Carnot in color. Strong, rapid grower. Immune from insects and disease. Foliage deep green the entire growing season. ?W'HITE DOROTHY—It, is a rampant grower and in a short time will cover a lar^re trellis with its long, sturdy canes clothed with brilliant green, shining foliage of splendid texture and free from mildew or attacks of insects. The flowers are of a brilliant glistening white and are borne in great trusses, completely covering the plant, until it resembles a snowdrift. BIRDIE BliYF—Buds long and pointed. Color bright car- mine, changing to bright satiny rose as they open. Blooms produced at the end of every shoot in clusters. ?CHRISTINE WRIGHT — Large, thick, leathery foliage. Flowers 4 inches in diameter. Color bright, clear pink, almost double; borne in large clusters. ?GAINSBOROUGH—Delicately tinted flesh, almost white and lustrous as satin. An admirer compared the flower to a beautiful girl wearing a Gainsborough hat ornamented with white ostrich plumes; hence the name. *VEILCHENBLAU, or VIOLET BLUE (Blue Rose) — The Blue Rose is one of the most rampant growers we have ever seen, covering a large porch in a single season. The flowers are borne in loose clusters and are of a delightful shade of blue—something entirely different from any Rose in cultivation.
