Othello (Hybrid Tea)
Paul & Son
A new shade in the dark H.T.'s, Othello is a vigorous grower, and is derived from that beautiful and fragrant Rose, Gustave Grunewald, which it resembles in growth; the flower is large and well formed, and the color is that deep maroon-red associated in our minds with the old H.P. Charles Darwin. This will prove to be both a fine exhibition and garden Rose. Strong dwarfs, $1.50 each.

Nos excellents confrères, MM. Paul et Sons, rosiéristes à Cheshunt (Angleterre), ont lancé dans les cultures, en juin 1911, les nouveautés ci-après : OTHELLO (Hybride de Thé). — Cette nouveauté croit vigoureusement. C'est un dérivé de la rose bien connue Gustave Grunewald, dont elle a conservé l'odeur. Coloris rouge marron foncé, rappelant celui de Charles Darwin ; la fleur est grande et de belle forme.
