Silver King (Hybrid Tea.) This new Rose is a beauty indeed. In fact, to see a bed of it in bloom is absolutely startling, it is so grand and beautiful. The bud and flower are of the largest size when fully expanded, cup-shaped, full and double, but the petals are so arranged as to not crowd one another. The color is a clear shell pink, so exquisite as to resemble the delicate, soft pink seen in deep-sea shells. It is very fragrant. A true ever-bloomer and hardy everywhere. This is the grandest of all light pink Roses. Be sure and try this Rose. $1.00 per dozen; $7.00 per hundred.
