• OSWALD SIEPER. H.T. (M. Krause, 1933.) 

 White. One of the finest white Hybrid Tea Roses to 

 date. It has nicely formed buds of pale cream which 

 open to big, loose, double flowers of creamy white. 

 Rich Tea fragrance. We watched this Rose closely 

 for two years and it produced more flowers than we 

 have ever had from a white Rose of its size and 

 they were all of fine form. On account of its large 

 size and faultless form we consider it the finest 

 white garden Rose for exhibition as well as for cut- 

 flowers for the house. First Class Certificate (highest 

 award), National Rose Society Trial-Grounds, 1932; 

 Certificate of Merit, Sangerhausen, 1932. $1 each.

ROSE PLANTING TIME 



• PRESIDENT PLUMECOCQ. I I.T. 



(J. Gaujard, 1^^31.) See iUustration. 

 Coppery yellow, ovoid buds o|)en 

 to large, cupped blooms of copi^cry 

 bull with an ovcrglow of deep 

 salmon. An upright grower, |:'ro- 

 ducing cjuantities of long-Iasling, 

 fragrant flowers with 30 petals or 

 more throughout the entire season. 

 The flowers are carried on strong 

 stems and the color meets the re- 

 quirements of those who like Roses 

 of soft tones. The coppery bufl of 

 this lovely variety will never clash 

 with any other color. The plant is 

 strong, with better foliage thar.i 

 most of the Roses that have so 

 much Fernet blood. Introduced 

 only two years ago, it has already 

 attained great popularity. $1 each. 



• ROUGE MALLERIN. H.T. (C. Mallerin, 1934.) 

 Scarlet. At last we have a new red Rose which does 

 not blue. Pointed buds of brilliant red open to 

 3^^-inch blooms of glowing scarlet, the deep pile on 

 the petals making them look for all the world like 

 pieces of rich scarlet velvet. If ever a Rose glowed, 

 this one does — a vase of newly opened blooms in a 

 sunny window looks like a vase of flame. As the 

 flower ages the scarlet softens a little, the fire 

 smoulders, an opalescent sheen overspreads the 

 petals, and we have a new Rose which is difl"erent 

 but every bit as beautiful as the newly opened bloom • 

 of yesterday. It is a full Rose with some 40 to 45 

 petals, a well-built flower with perfectly imbricated 

 petals so that when fully open the center is higher 

 than the outer petals. Of course it is fragrant — fra- 

 grant with that rich old Damask perfume that all red 

 Roses should have. Rouge Mallerin has a real plant, 

 vigorous and upright, with lovely bronze young foli- 

 age which is a healthy green when mature, and the 

 plants are very free with their wonderful flowers, 

 even in the really trying days of midsummer. We 

 think a lot of this Rose. $1.50 each.
