:^ GRENOBLE. Yl^Y. Scarlet-crimson. Charles 



Alallerin, who has produced so many of the finest 

 Roses of recent years, thought enough of this one 

 to name it for his home city. Large, ovoid, crimson 

 buds open to great big, full-petaled flowers of 

 bright red, almost scarlet, veiled with a sunshiny 

 orange glow. The plants are so vigorous and healthy, 

 the flowers so large, and the color so striking that 

 in our fields it is the red which im.mediately at- 

 tracts attention. This free-blooming Rose is splendid 

 for bedding, but individual blooms of great size 

 can be obtained if the plant is disbudded, and only 

 one bloom left on each bloom-stalk. $1 each. 



• AMULETT. H.T. Velvety crimson. A me- 

 dium-sized red Rose that likes to jump around the 

 color-chart. Early flowers are deep red, then during 

 the hot weather they may be almost light red, but 

 in the fall they come into their own, v/ith blooms of 

 deep velvety crimson, almost maroon. At all times 

 there is present that glorious old-time Rose fra- 

 grance. This Rose was awarded First Prize at the 

 German Rose Society show and received the First 

 Class Premium, the highest distinction, at Sanger- 

 hausen, Germany. The plants are dwarf in growth, 

 bushy, and have small bronzy foliage on wiry canes. 

 The blooms are held erect and this characteristic, 

 added to the delightful perfume, makes Amulett 

 a choice Rose for cutting. $1.50 each. 



THE VALUE OF A ROSE 



March 22, IQ32 

 A Rose bush at a dollar is a whole lot better investment 

 than lots of other things we buy at that price today. — C. R. 

 McGinnes, 605 Colonial Trust BIdg., Reading, Pa. 



Under this heading we are offering 

 some of the most beautiful Roses 

 ever grown. 



Many of the Roses named below 

 are not obtainable elsewhere, since 

 this firm exercises the right of exclu- 

 sive American introduction from such 

 famous hybridizers as M, Pedro 

 Dot in Spain; M. Ch. Mallerin, 

 M. Chambard, and M. 

 Jules Gaujard in 

 France, and from 

 other European hy- 

 bridizers. 



We have combed the 

 world for these new Roses 

 and have selected what we 

 think are the best of them 

 % to off^er you. Among them 

 are "stuck-up's" which have 

 ^ won medals, cups, and rib- 



bons wherever exhibited, also 

 the Rose the French rosarians have 

 voted "The most beautiful Rose in 

 France." See inside front cover. 

 They are so beautiful and so desirable that 

 we know they will please you. 



• ANNIE BRANDT. h.T. Multicolored. Tinted 

 buds, opening to good-sized flowers of salmon, 

 flesh, and lemon with a peculiar scent. The blooms 

 are 3>]^2 inches in diameter, with fifteen to twenty 

 petals. Tall, bushy plants, with foliage that laughs at 

 aisease. Awarded Gold Medal, Saverne, 1932. $2 each. 



• ANNIE DE METZ. h.T. Coppery 



rose. 



Flowers 4 inches in diameter, with 30 petals. The 

 color is coppery rose which turns to soft salmon. It 

 is delightfully sweet scented. The plant makes 

 moderate growth and blooms quite freely for a 

 Rose of this size. $2 each. 



• AUTUMN. H.T. Multicolored. The darkest 

 flower among the "fancy" Roses. The short buds 

 are deep burnt-orange, opening to medium-sized, 

 very double, fragrant flowers of the same burnt- 

 orange, stained with red and orange at the edges and 

 base of the inner petals. It fades somewhat lighter 

 with age but is always striking. It resembles 

 Talisman in form of flower and healthy growth of 

 the plant, but is much more richly colored. $1 each. 



• CONDESSA DE SASTAGO. h.T. Oriental 

 red and yellow. This Spanish novelty has appro- 

 priated the vivid Austrian Copper colors. It is an 

 astonishing new break and fairly glows in our Rose- 

 fields. The 3-inch, fully double blooms are copper 

 on the inside of the petals and deep daffodil-yellow 

 on the outside, a striking combination. Unlike 

 many high-colored Roses, this one is fragrant, 

 having an alluring spicy scent. The plant makes good 

 growth with attractive foliage, and is unusually 

 free blooming. A striking novelty. $2.50 each.
