Beautiful Star • Rose NOVELTIES, continued 



• COUNTESS VANDAL. H.T. Plant Patent * JOHANNISZAUBER. H.T. Blood-red. The 

 awarded. (See in color on page 7.) An upright- 

 growing, vigorous Rose with rich-colored, attractive, 

 disease-resistant foliage. The perfumed, perfectly 

 formed blooms, which come from long, tapering 

 buds, are a blending of copper, sahiion, and gold in 

 color, and they are produced almost continuously 

 on long, erect, rigid stems. This dehgiitful, deco- 

 rative, cutting Rose was the sensation at the 1931 

 foreign Rose shows where it won many medals and 

 trophies. Grow this Rose and walk away with 

 prizes at your local Rose show this year. $2 each. 



• DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. H.T. Copper-apricot. 

 Fall is when this Rose is at its best. The huge flowers are 

 then a luscious cinnamon-peach shade, and every one is a 

 prize-winner. $2.50 each. 



• EDITOR McFARLAND. H.T. Pink. For description of 

 this outstanding new pink Rose from France, see page 2. 

 Illustrated in color on front cover. $1.25 each. 



• FEDERICO CASAS. H.T. Coppery orange. See illus 

 tration. This Rose seems to have captured the brilhant 

 colors that we associate with southern Spain, where it origi- 

 nated. It is one of the most attractive of the newer types. 

 The blooms are large, semi-double, coppery orange on the 

 outside of the bloom and pink inside, with pleasing 

 fragrance. In the fall the flowers become more double and 

 more highly colored. They bloom freely on very erect, vigor- 

 ous plants, with splendid stems for cutting. This Rose has 

 given us great pleasure, both in the Rose-garden and in 

 our Rose-fields where it was greatly admired by visitors. 

 $1.25 each. 



• GERTRUD HUCK. H.T. Multicolored. A highly colored 

 sport of the lovely Wilhelm Kordes. Bright cochi- 

 neal-carmine predominates over tints and 

 shades of orange-yellow and buff". Moderate 

 gro\\'th; blooms freely in June and again 

 in fall. $1.50 each. 



• GRENOBLE. H.T. Scarlet-crim- 

 son. (See in color on opposite page.) 

 The citizens of Grenoble, France, 

 thought enough of this red Rose to 

 ask the originator, Charles Mallerin, 

 to name it for their city. 

 The plant is very vigorous 

 and the blooms come on 

 unusually long stems, making 

 it one of the best garden 

 Roses for cutting. The buds 

 are crimson, but the open 

 flower is brilliant red, almost 

 scarlet, and a bed of Grenoble 

 stands out like a fire. It is 

 fully double and of large 

 size. Easily one of the best 

 reds. $1 each. 



• HENRY PAUTHIER. H.T. 



Red. Bright red, semi-double 



blooms with artistically waved petals, giving the 

 flower a delightfully informal frifled effect. Richly 

 fragrant with the wonderful old Rose perfume. The 

 plant is unusually free blooming for such a large flow- 

 er, and makes a striking display in the garden. 

 Strong, bushy growth with good foliage. $2.50 each. *Federico Casas,
