Los Angeles. (Howard & Smith, 1917.) New American Rose. 

 The raisers describe this variety as by all odds one of the finest 

 roses ever introduced. In color a luminous flame-pink, toned with 

 coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. In 

 fragrance it is equal in its intensity to the finest Marechal Xicl. The 

 buds arc long and pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth pro- 

 portions. The growth is vigorous to a degree. The beauty of form 

 and ever-increasing wealth of color is maintained from the bud until 

 the last petals drop. S2.00 eacli. 



2-year old plants, 60 ets. each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100 

 (Except where otherwise priced.) 



NOTE. These are growing plants and if delivery is desired before the weather is mild they should be pro- 

 tected in a frame or otherwise, against frost. 



This class furnishes some of the finest, most constant blooming and best varieties for exhibition 

 and garden decoration. They bloom continuously from midsummer until frost. They require pro- 

 tection during Winter, being only half-hardy. Dwarf plants may be readily protected by 

 drawing the soil over the centre or crown to a height of 6 inches; a further covering 

 should be given by miilching with leaves or pine needles to a height of 6 to 12 inches-
