VENTURA-BY-THE-SEA, CALIFORNIA 5 
The “Oriole” Rose (wks sukrHERD 
Mrs. Shepherd’s Rosse, 
The beautiful “Oriole” is well worthy the 
land of its nativity, the Golden State. A 
fitting companion for its beautiful namesake 
that flits through the garden; for the gorg- 
eous Eschscholtzia or California poppy, and 
the rich-hued orange of our groves. This 
wonderful color is seen in no other tea rose. 
Oriole is perfectly healthy and vigorous. The 
foliage is medium size, and bright green; it 
“Oriole’”’ 
sends up strong canes and bears quantities 
of beautiful orange buds on long pliable 
stems; its open roses are similar in form 
to the charming and graceful rose Dr. Grill. 
It is always in bloom and owing to this char- 
acteristic is difficult to propagate, the wood 
being in condition to send out fresh shoots 
at all seasons. Everyone is enchanted with it. 
35 cents each.
