Souvenir de Francois Gaulain
A Magnificent Sort
This is an ideal rose having merit of a high order.  In our open ground trials the past year it bloomed from the time it was planted until severe frost; its earliness and constancy stamp it as a rose of great value to the amateur or home grower.  In growth it is strong and healthy, with large, handsome foliage that remains on the plant until the first frost comes.  The color is unusually bright and indeed is quite remarkable for a Tea Rose- rich, velvety crimson; the flowers are exceedingly fragrant, large, full and very double, possessing a depth that makes their color all the more striking; quite hardy.  We recommend this as one of the finest.  Price, 15 cents each; two year old plants, 30 cents each.
