 yellow, heavily niarked with carmine; the open flower 

 is rich (iairoclil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet- 

 brier fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid

 upright canes which are topped by a "lighted" 

 candelabra of 5 or more burning yellow blooms.

 1933,) A regular old whoo/.er of a flower — one of the 

 largest Roses we grow. Splendid, long buds of Tyrian-

 Fine for exhibition or to crow about

Two-toned pink, A big, clean, spark- 

 ling pink Rose which thrives on heat 

 — the hotter the weather, the more 



beatitiful the flowers. The blooms •KaiserinAugusteViktoria. 75c. 



are large, fully double, fragrant, and 



there are two shades of pink concerned, a lovely pale 



silvery pink on one side of the petals 



and just clean pink on the other 



side, 45 to 50 petals,

•Ville de Paris 

 75 cts. each 



•Talisman. 75 cts. each 



•TALISMAN. H,T. Multicolored. See illustration. 

 At its gayest it is a glorious combination of orange, 

 yellow, and rose-red. It is one of the 

 finest of all garden Roses for cutting. 

 The fragrant flowers are much more 

 highly colored in autumn, at which 

 time they beat the finest florists' 

 blooms. During hot weather the 

 blooms are apt to be off color and of 

 poor form, but simply pinch them off 

 and your fall crop will be that much 

 better. Tall, upright plants with light 

 green foliage healthier than most 

 Pernetianas. 25 petals. 75c. each.f 



• KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIK- 

 TORIA. H.T. Cream-white, See 

 illustration. Although introduced over 

 forty years ago, this is still the stan- 

 dard by which white Roses are judged. 

 Of splendid form, with petals of great 

 substance, it is a perfect cut-flower, and 

 its perfume is exquisite. The plant is moderate in 

 both growth and bloom. 50 to 60 petals. 75 cts. each.f 



•WILLOWMERE. H.T. Pink. Salmon-pink, flushed 

 with gold. Named by Pernet for the estate of his 

 friend. Admiral Ward, this lovely Rose has been 

 popular for years. The large flowers are salmon-pink, 

 flushed with gold. Mild Tea fragrance. The plants 

 are bushy and free blooming but the foliage needs 

 , careful protection. 30 to 35 petals. 75 cts. each.f 



•VILLE DE PARIS (City of Paris) . H.T. Butter- 

 cup-yellow. See illustration. In the 1925 Baga- 

 telle contest, this Rose was declared the most 

 important yellow garden Rose, and deemed 

 worthy of the name "Ville de 

 Paris" for which honor 

 a large cash premiuni 

 had been posted 

 several years pre- 

 ;7 V i o u s I y — t o b e 



-' ' awarded when a 



Rose good enough 

 for it could be pro- 

 duced. Every French 

 hybridizer competed 

 for that greatest 

 honor — and purse. After 

 winning it, Mons. Pernet 

 declared this to be the 

 crowning of his long 

 career, and retired from 

 business. (He died Nov. 

 23,1928.) The charm of 

 this flower lies in the 

 gleaming yellow color, 

 30 petals. 75 cts. each, f
