FOLKSTONE.* We know of no better way to impress upon our customersthe great value of this variety than to say that it is as stronggrowing, as free blooming, as attractive, and as hardy as Pres-ident Carnot, a Rose whose beauty has taken the country bystorm. Viscountess Folkstone is not a new variety, but we re-gard it as one of the finest Roses in cultivation. The flowersare very large and highly built and double ; color is a beau-tiful shade of pale tender flesh, with satiny lustre, resemblingglossy silk. It is very difficult to distinguish between it andPresident Carnot. It is highly scented and a most magnifi-cent Rose in the open ground. Plant of it liberally and youwill not be disappointed. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.
