 75 cts. each 



• REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. H.T. Carmine and 

 yellow. The shapely buds are Indian yellow, washed 

 with deep carmine which spreads as the buds unfurl. 

 Fragrant blooms come singly on long, strong stems, 

 making it ideal for cutting. Needs pruning back to 

 2 inches in the spring to do its best. A wonderfully 

 attractive Rose which has the scent of a ripe apple. 

 Popular everywhere. 75 Cts. each.* 



• RICHARDSON WRIGHT. H.T. (J. H. Nicolas; 

 The Conard-Pyle Company, 1932.) Pearl-pink. The 

 color is iridescent pearl-pink, with a golden flush on the 

 lower part of the petals. It is fully double, 40 petals, 

 and the blooms usually come singly on a 



stem. Noted for its delicious fragrance. 

 Silver Medal, Saverne, 1932. 75c. each.* 



•SIR HENRY SEGRAVE. H.T. Lem- 

 on-yellow. Perfectly formed buds of 

 lemon-yellow open to spiral flowers of the 

 same soft shade, and, to be consistent, it 

 has a decided lemon fragrance. Fully 

 double, with about 50 petals, the blooms 

 mostly singly on long stems. $1 each.* 



• SCEUR THERESE (Sister Therese). 



H.T. (F. Gillot, 1931.) Yellow. Cross of 

 the old Hybrid Perpetual General Jac- 

 queminot and a Pernetiana seedling, it is 

 unusually hardy. Its long-pointed buds 

 are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with 

 carmine; the open flower is rich daffodil- 

 yellow and holds its color well. Sweet- 

 briar fragrance. The blooms come freely 

 on splendid cutting stems. You can al- 

 ways recognize this Rose from its habit of forming 

 sturdy, 3-foot, upright canes which are topped by a 

 "lighted" candelabra of 5 or more burning yellow 

 blooms. Silver-Gilt Medal, Valenciennes, 1930; Certif- 

 icate, Contest for Most Beautiful Rose of France, 

 Lyon, 1932; Silver Medal, Portland, 1932. SI each.* 



• SOUV. D'ALEXANDRE BERNAIX. H.T. Crimson. 

 Large, cupped blooms, full to the center, of crimson, 

 shaded velvety purple. Splendid perfume and fine last- 

 ing qualities are two of its virtues. A low-growing, sym- 

 metrical plant. 60 petals. $1 each.* 



• SOUV. DE CLAUDIUS PERNET. H.T. Sunflower- 

 yellow. Very large and full. A great Rose to grow for 

 exhibition blooms, and a standard yellow both in 

 gardens and under glass. Sometimes the outer 

 petals are white and occasionally it shows a black 

 center when fully open, but when it is right it is 

 perfect. Has the typical Pernet scent. 30 petals. 

 75 cts. each.* 



•SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. Seep. 15. 



•TALISMAN. H.T. Multicolored. See illus- 

 tration. At its gayest it is a glorious combination 

 of orange, yellow, and rose-red. It is one of the 

 inest of all garden Roses for cutting. The fragrant 

 flowers are much more highly colored in autumn, at 

 which time they beat 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. Tall, upright plants 

 with light green foliage healthier than most Pernetianas. 

 75 cts. 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 larger, fully double, fragrant, 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.* 



•VILLE DE PARIS. H.T. Buttercup-yellow. See 

 illustration. This medal-winning Rose boasts the honor 

 of being named for the City of Paris over 77 competitors 

 from 1 1 countries, when at the same time it won the 

 Bagatelle Gold Medal. The pointed bud has a broad 

 base and opens to a fairly large bloom. The tall, willowy 

 plants give an average quantity of blooms. 75c. each.* 



•WHITE ENSIGN. H.T. Creamy white. Cream- 

 colored buds of fine form open to 3-inch flowers of 

 creamy white, maturing pure white; rich tea fragrance. 

 It is fully double, with 75 petals. Vigorous, branching 

 plants with splendid foliage. 75 cts. each.*
