• DON ROSE. H.T. (Mallerin.) Prop, rights re- 

 served. Beautiful, tapered buds of carmine-red are 

 freely produced all season and open to large, exqui- 

 sitely modeled, long-lasting 35-petaIed blooms of 

 coppery pink. The plants are unusually strong in growth 

 with husky canes, clothed to the ground with unusu- 

 ally fine, glaucous green, leathery fohage. A fine Rose 

 every way. $1.25 ea. ; 3 for $3.15. | 



*DR. KIRK. ® H.T. (Mallerin.) This is an ex- 

 cellent cut-flower for the blooms come singly on erect, 

 rigid stems and the heavy-textured petals enable the 

 flowers to last long when cut. The long-pointed buds 

 are scarlet and the splendid blooms of burnished flame- 

 scarlet are spicily fragrant. $1.25 ea. ; 3 for $3.15.* 



• FAMA. H.T. (P. Dot.) This is a new, delicately 

 colored addition to the great Condesa de Sastago group 

 with the same vigorous growth, free bloom and rich 

 fragrance. The color is amber-yellow and reddish 

 salmon with tips of the petals edged with gold. $1.50 

 ea.; 3 for $3.75.*

 Plant Patent 574. This unique Rose was taken 

 here this spring as a heartsome Rose Herald for it 

 was the first of its type to bloom, a promise of the 

 other Roses that were soon to foHow. It is a bounti- 

 ful bloomer, with the 33^-inch flowers daintily 

 colored like a Picotee tulip. The base color is light 

 maize-yellow with the edge of each petal feathered 

 with carmine. Sweet clover fragrance. The sturdy, 

 upright plants grow to about 20 inches and are fur- 

 nished with large olive-green foliage. $1.50 ea.; 

 3 for $3.75. J

 W^^ ® H.T._ (Ketten.) Plant Pat. pending. This 



*VT Rose aristocrat provides a new shade of red 

 such as may be seen on old tapestry, a color not known 

 in any other Rose. The beautiful, long, streamlined 

 buds are a burnt-carmine color and open to firm- 

 petaled blooms which do not fade but graduafly 

 change to a lovely begonia-rose. When unfolding, the 

 25 petals recurve and make a delightfully informal, 

 artistic flower with a hint of carnation fragrance.
