Never before in Rose history has there been such a wealth of new va- 

 rieties from the hands of the Rose hybridizers as there is today. From 

 these, by patient, every-day study, we have selected the kinds that have 

 proved to be best in habit of growth and bloom performance from June 

 until hard frost. Roses must be observed over a long period to be judged 

 accurately. In our extensive trial-grounds, notes of the performance of 

 each variety are made throughout the season. We must distinguish 

 clearly between the kinds that make one glorious flash and are then 

 through, and those that continue to work steadily from June until frost. 

 In the following pages we present the "workers" which in our judgment 

 are best qualified to provide blooms for your all-season enjoyment.

 finest everblooming

•Rouge Mallerin. $1.50 each* 



• ROUGE MALLERIN. H.T. See illustration. 

 (C. Mallerin, 1934.) Scarlet. At last we have a new 

 red Rose which does not blue. Pointed buds of bril- 

 liant red open to 33^-inch blooms of glowing scarlet, 

 the deep pile on the petals making them look for 

 all the world like pieces of rich scarlet velvet. If 

 ever a Rose glowed, this one does — a vase of newly 

 opened blooms in a sunny window looks like a vase 

 of flame. As the flower ages the scarlet softens a 

 little, the fire smoulders, an opalescent sheen over- 

 spreads the petals, and we have a new Rose which 

 is different but every bit as beautiful as the newly 

 opened bloom of yesterday. It is a full Rose with 

 some 40 to 45 petals, a well-built flower with per- 

 fectly imbricated petals so that when fully open the 

 center is higher than the outer petals. Of course it 

 is fragrant — fragrant with that rich old Damask 

 perfume that all red Roses should have. Rouge 

 Mallerin has a real plant, vigorous and upright, 

 with lovely bronze young foliage which is a healthy 

 green when mature, and the plants are very free 

 with their wonderful flowers, even in the really try- 

 ing days of midsummer. $1.50 each.* 



Awarded Gold Medal, Saverne, France, 1932; Certificate, 

 Lyons, for The Most Beautiful Rose of France for 1934; First 

 Class Certificate, National Rose Society, England, 1934.
