EVERBLOOMING ROSES — NEW AND RARE, continued 



*SOUVENIR DE MME. BOULLET. H.T. A deep cadmium-yellow flower 

 resembling Lady Hillingdon in color, but the bloom is very full and large. A very 

 fine Rose. $1.50 each. 



•SOUVENIR DE MME. LOUIS CRETTE. (Pemet.) A yellow sport of 

 Mme. Edouard Herriot, with all its parent's good qualities, plus good stems for 

 cutting so that it has become a favorite on the French flower-markets. The 

 bloom often shows coral and red tints. A decided acquisition. $2 each. 



*THE GENERAL. H.T. Not very free flowering, but the blooms are a per- 

 fect example of an unruffled, dignified Rose. Color is blood-red with perhaps a 

 flush of orange. $2.50 each. 



•VILLE DE PARIS (City of Paris). (Pemet.) (Shown in natural color on' 

 front cover.) Another great Rose of Mons. Pernet-Ducher, famous in the Rose- 

 world as the originator of so many of the most beautiful Roses grown. Ville de 

 Paris was awarded a Gold Medal in 1925 at the Bagatelle (Paris) Gardens. 

 The buds are long and flowers fairly large, not very fuH, but their charm lies in 

 the fragrance, the gleaming buttercup-yellow color and great freedom of bloom. 

 The bush is very handsome, tall with rich holly-green foliage on wiry and attrac- 

 tively bronzed stems. For garden use this seems to be the best clear yellow 

 Rose, as it holds its color in an astonishing way, even in bright sunshine. It is 

 also good for cutting. $2 each.

Awarded the Gold Medal at Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, June 11, 1927 



This is the first Gold Medal to be awarded to a climbing Rose at the 

 world-famous test-garden for Roses at Bagatelle (Paris), France. Later, 

 another Gold Medal was awarded it at Saverne (Alsace). 



The advance information to our customers last fall, in * '[Rose News" 

 about this most beautiful of climbing Roses, is now followed by our offer of a 

 limited number of plants, to be ready for shipment May i, 1Q28, 



Orders will be filled in the rotation in which they are received, until stock 

 is exhausted. Those received too late for May delivery will be held {unless 

 otherwise desired) for delivery in the fall, ig28. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has aristocratic parents, Frau Karl Druschki 

 and Chateau de CIos Vougeot, and has inherited ^the best traits of both. 

 The long pointed buds are crimson at first as the sepals divide, then the 

 firm outer petals show splashes of carmine as the flower opens, with an iri- 

 descent pearl-pink inside. It is richly perfumed and when full blown has a 

 pleasant citronelle fragrance. Grows 12 feet or more in a season, and has 

 large, disease-resistant foliage. 



The main stem of the plant shoots upright and the long bloom-spurs 

 stand out 18 inches or more at right angles, with exquisite, full, fragrant 

 blooms at the tips. These blooms come early in June and last over a long 

 period, as they come in succession, and each bloom is long lasting. There 

 is no bush Rose grown to which we can compare this queen of Climbers. 



Two years ago, we sent Mr. J. H. Nicolas of our Research Department 

 into Spain. Near Barcelona he discovered this wonderful Rose and im- 

 mediately recognized its superior qualities. Since then we have thoroughly 

 tested it on our proving-grounds here and have sufficient field-grown 

 plants to off'er in limited quantity this spring. 



Price $5 each. Orders filled in the rotation in which they are received -
