xSOUV.DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. 
H.T. See illustration. Coral-pink. 
Chosen the most beautiful Rose of 
France for 1932. The buds are large, 
long-pointed, coral in color, and slowly 
unfold to a coral-pink flower develop- 
ing a satiny peach tint and sheen 
which is about the loveliest finish we 
have ever seen on a Rose petal. Its 
fragrance is simply delicious so that 
we have not only one of the most 
beautiful Roses but one of the sweet- 
est. The plant is free in bloom. Its 
long stems and perfect form make it a 
splendid cut-flower. 35 to 40 petals. 
Mrs. John Laing ts the mother of this 
Rose, so being half Hybrid Perpetual 
it is hardier than most Hybrid Teas.

*SCEUR THERESE (Sister Therese). H.T. Yellow. 
Long-pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked

fodil-yellow and holds its color well. 
Sweetbrier fragrance. The blooms come 
freely on splendid cutting stems. You can 
always recognize this Rose from its habit 
of forming sturdy, 3-foot, upright canes 
which are topped with a “lighted” cande- 
labra of 5 or more burning yellow blooms. 
This is freely acknowledged by everyone 
to be one of the best of the newer Roses.

*SOUV. D’ALEXANDRE BERNAIX. 
H.T. Crimson. Large cupped blooms full 
to the center, of crimson, shaded velvety 
maroon. Splendid perfume and fine lasting 
qualities. A  low-growing, symmetrical 
plant. 60 petals. $1 each.* 
*THOMAS A. EDISON. H.T. Two- 
toned pink. A big, clean, sparkling pink 
Rose which thrives on heat; the hotter the 
weather, the more beautiful the flowers. 
The blooms are large, fully double, fra- 
grant, and there are two shades of pink 
concerned, a lovely pale silvery pink on one 
side of the petals and just clean pink on the 
other side. It is a big flower on a big strong 
plant. A great Rose named for a great man. 
75 cts. each.* 
*TALISMAN. H.T. See illustration. Multicolored. 
At its gayest it is a glorious combination of orange, 
yellow, and rose-red. It is one of the finest of all garden 
Roses for cutting. The fragrant flowers are much more 
highly colored in autumn, at which time they simply 
eclipse the finest florists’ blooms. 
During hot weather the blooms are 
apt to be off color and of poor form, 
but simply pinch them off and your 
fall crop will be that much better. 
75 cts. each.* 
*VILLE DE PARIS (City of Paris). 
H.T. See illustration. Buttercup- 
yellow. In the 1925 Bagatelle contest, 
this Rose was declared the most im- 
portant yellow garden Rose, and 
deemed worthy of the name ‘‘ Ville de 
Paris,” for which honor a large cash 
premium had been posted several 
years previously—to be awarded when 
a Rose good enough for it could be 
produced. Every French hybridizer 
competed for that greatest honor—and 
purse. After winning it, Mons. Pernet 
declared this to be the crowning of 
his long career, truly a distinguish- 
ed one. (He died 
Nov. 23, 1928.) The 
charm of this flower 
lies in the gleaming 
yellow color. 30 
petals. 
75 cts. each.*
