One of the greatest thrills of Rose growing is in finding 

 a new variety that will give us a new color, or more fra- 

 grance, or greater vigor, or just a new Rose "personality" 

 for our garden. Here are 4 pages of fairly recent intro- 

 ductions that are highly distinguished and worthy. All 

 have been widely grown and tested and have proved 

 their superiority or interest in one way or another. 

 There are colors, types and kinds for every taste. For 

 starting a new garden or adding new life to an old one, 

 here are some jewels. 



•BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mallerin.) 

 Plant Pat. 594. We have yet to find a white Rose to 

 equal Blanche Mallerin in artistic beauty. First 

 of all, it is pure white, in both bud and bloom: a 

 gleaming, live, frosty white. Next, is its great 

 superiority in form, with long, long buds and 

 beautifully modeled blooms. Its crowning grace 

 is its fragrance, since perfume is a rare attribute of j 

 white Roses. Buds come singly and erect on up- 

 right plants of medium height. $2 ea. ; 3 or more, 

 $1.75 ea. 



• BRAVO. H.T. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 983. Good- 

 sized, long-lasting, double blooms of currant-red 

 come in clusters. Averages 35 petals. An especially 

 good hot-weather Rose. $2.25 ea. ; 3 or more, $2 ea.
