*NIGRETTE. H.T. (M. Krause, 1934.) Plant 
Patent No. 87. Blackish maroon. The almost black 
buds open to fragrant, dark maroon blooms which 
in their deepest shades give the impression of black «~ 
velvet. The color varies violently with the season 
and weather from light crimson to deepest maroon. 
With us the flowers are at their best and darkest 
after the begining of the cool nights of early au- 
tumn. Many summer visitors here ordered this Rose 
when they saw it in bloom. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75.

*ROCHEFORT. H.T. (C. Mallerin, 1936.) Plant 
Patent No. 191. Orange-old-rose—a most unique 
color. Large, ovoid buds range in color from terra 
cotta to orange-copper. The hundred-petaled 
blooms open to 31% 6 inches wide, full to the center, 
and change to old-rose color before the petals drop. 
Strong fre igrance, like a mixture of spices. This 
Rose is the progeny of two of the fmest everblooming 
Roses of today, Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont, the supreme 
golden yellow Rose, and Charles P. Kilham, the 
well-known coral-red variety which produces such 
perfect blooms. From such comes this beauty with 
coloring hard to describe. It is somewhere between 
crushed-strawberry, heavily flushed with orange, 
and orange-old-rose. Gold Medal and Cup of City 
of Saverne, 1934; First Certificate, Lyons, 1934. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75.

3 for $3.15. No further discount on this patented Rose. 
*S. and M. PERRIER. H.T. (C. Mallerin, 
1936.) Silvery pmk. We were told that this was 
“the most beautiful of all the Roses of a clear tint 
developed in the [ast ten years,’ and after thor- 
oughly testing it here we fully agree with Mons. 
Mallermin. It is beautiful. The buds are large, 
pointed, and peach-pink in color, opening to a 60- 
petaled flower of an irresistibly lovely color, with a 
base resembling rich white satin, tinted, suffused, 
or lightly veiled with just a hint of pink. The petals 
have a fairy delicacy in appearance yet are firm- 
textured, and the center ones crimp in enchanting 
fashion around a center of deep gold anthers. The 
ripe raspberry fragrance adds the finishing touch to 
this exquisite novelty. $1.50 each.* 
*xSNOWBIRD. H.T. (R. M. Hatton, 1936.) 
White. This is a most prolific bloomer. It has per- 
fectly formed, small, pointed buds that open to 
deliciously fragrant, pure white blooms often 4 
inches across and which come singly and in clusters 
of 3 or 4. The foliage is normal green and disease 
resistant. Really a new type in the somewhat 
limited white class and a charming addition to the 
garden. $1 each.* 
*TEXAS CENTENNIAL. H.T. (Dixie Rose Nur- 
sery, 1935.) Plant Patent No. 162. Nopal-red. A 
sport of President Herbert Hoover. Bud is long- 
pointed, opening into a large, moderately fragrant 
flower carried on a long, strong stem. The color of 
the open flower is nopal-red, with a dainty shade of 
gold; the center of the flower is a lighter red, toning 
to dark pink as the bloom ages. $1 each; 3 for $2.50.

buds open to 4-inch, or larger, flowers of exquisite 
shell-pink with a slightly darker reverse. There are

looks like a glorified Mme. Butterfly. It has the 
delightful spicy fragrance of the old clove pinks. 
The plant has all the health, vigor, and freedom of 
bloom of Radiance. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.15.
