BLOOM CONTINUOUSLY.
IF you want Roses that will give you absolute satisfaction from the day they are planted, we would urge that you plant

severe freezing weather. We have seen them unfold perfect flowers even after a severe snow-storm. Of dwarf,
stocky, uniform growth, they possess valuable qualities found m no other Roses. By all means include these great varie-
ties in your order.
YELLOW SOUPERT (MoseUa). CLOTILDE SOUPERT.
This is everybody's Rose. Fully as hardy and equally
as free blooming as Clotilde Soupert or Pink Soupert, and
like them a strong, dwarf, bushy grower. Flowers are very
double and of the same Camellia-like form as Clotilde
Soupert. Produces immense clusters of flowers that are
really beautifully formed. Buds exceedingly dainty and
attractive. The color is white on beautiful light yellow
ground, which becomes a chrome
yellow in the centre of
flower. Ifyouwanta

So famous has this superb variety become that it is almost
unnecessary to describe it. Rose lovers the world over
know it to be one of the best Roses. It is a strong, dwarf
grower and a truly wonderful bloomer, producing cluster
after cluster of finest formed flowers. In form they are
distinct, large, round and flat, with beautifully imbricated
petals; perfectly full and double and deliciously sweet.

handsome flowers, same form as Clotilde Soupert. Color
rich, dark, shining pink, sometimes nearly red. Young
plants commence to bloom in May and continue to give
crop after crop of flowers until late in October. Small
