Puritan Rose. (New.) This charming and magnificent new red Rose is a cross between Paul Neyron and American Beauty. Its parentage speaks for itself. The plant is an exceptionally good grower, upright, with bright, heavy foliage and a most abundant bloomer. The flowers are extra-large, full and globular. Its rich crimson color, lighted with scarlet, together with its fragrance, makes it the most beautiful and desirable Rose vet introduced. In fact, it approaches nearer to perfection than any hose we have ever seen, and we bespeak for it a wide popularity.
