CREAM OF THE NEWER ROSES 



;A-BLANCHE MALLERIN. H.T. (Mallcrin.) Plant Pat. 

 S'>4. W c ha\i.- yet to lincl a white Rose to cciual Blanche 

 iMallerin 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 beau- 

 tifully modeled blooms. Its crowning grace is its fragrance, 

 since perfume is a rare attribute of white Roses. Buds come 

 singly and erect on upright plants of medium height. 30 to 35 

 petals. $2 ea.; 3 or more, $1.75 ea. 



■^Chrysler Imperii 



^CHRYSLER IMPERIAL. H.T. (Lammerts.) 

 Plant Pat. 1167. This deep crimson AII- 

 (5 America award winner is another of today's 

 "■'^'^ Roses to make us glad to be alive and 

 gardening now, rather than in by-gone years. In 

 fragrance alone, it is something special. So is it 

 in form; and again, in its rich, unfading, unbluing 

 crimson color. With all these virtues combined, 

 plus a good vigorous, disease-resistant plant, we 

 count this one of the best All-America Roses 

 to date. 



The big, 40 to 50-petaIed blooms open well in 

 all kinds of weather, are long lasting and of su- 

 perior exhibition form. The plant is even in 

 growth, well branched, upright, well foliaged and 

 of medium height, perfect for front-row planting. 

 Blooms come singly and in constant succession. 

 This is a truly great Rose. It 

 is also popular, so order early. 

 $2.50 ea. ; 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



-^Mojave 



-;^Blanche Mallerin 



^MOJAVE. H.T. (Swim.) Plant Pat. 1176. Dark orange-red, 

 /^\ pointed buds become beautifully urn-shaped opening blooms 

 \^l "t glowing copper-orange. Starting with the outer petals, the 

 ^^^ color on the upper surface slowly takes on more of a flame or 

 deep coppery rose shade, while the outsides of the petals hold their 

 orange color. All these various shades are satisfyingly harmonious 

 at all stages. 20 to 25 petals; 

 sweet fragrance. The blooms 

 come singly on long, strong 

 stems. The plants are of 

 handsome upright habit, of 

 medium height, with 

 very heavy, leathery 

 foliage. It is a recent 

 All-America winner, 

 so you know it has 

 been found to be 

 dependably good in 

 all parts of the coun- 

 try, as well as beau- 

 tiful. $2.75 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $2.40 ea.
