*Etoile de Hollande. H.T. (Crimson) 



See illustration 



Universally recognized as the world's finest red Rose. 

 The half-opened (lower is perfect in form and develops 

 into one of the most beautiful things in the world, a 

 great big, artistically loose Rose of brilliant scarlet- 

 crimson, with that delicious fragrance we know as old- 

 Rose perfume. A strong plant with very large 

 leathery foliage produces these wonderful Roses. 

 75 cts. each.* 



• KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. H.T. 



Cream-white. Although introduced over forty 

 years ago, this is still the standard by which white 

 Roses are judged. Of splendid form, with petals of 

 great substance, it is a perfect cut-flower, and its 

 perfume is exquisite. 75 cts. each.* 



+ KARDINAL PIFFL. H.T. Orange-pink. One 

 of ihe most satisfactory garden Roses we have ever 

 grown. Plants of average growth and with good 

 foliage simply bloom all the time. Ovoid buds of 

 orange-pink, with a golden base, open to fully 

 double flowers of the same lovely shades, which do 

 not fade. Delicious fragrance. Gold Medal, Bag- 

 atelle, 1926. 75 cts. each.* 



• LEONARD BARRON. H.T. Salmon and cop- 

 per. Introduced by The Conard-Pyle Company, 

 West Grove, Pa., having been hybridized here by 

 J. H. Nicolas. The forerunner of a new strain of 

 Roses, the grandchild of Rosa Nutkana, the wild 

 Rose of Alaska, and the old Hybrid Perpetual, 

 Paul Neyron. The ruggedness of these ancestors 

 is somewhat modernized by an infusion of the deli- 

 cate beauty of Souv. de Mme. BouIIet. The 

 blooms, 5 inches or over in diameter, and with 

 myriads of petals, make this one of the largest and ful- 

 lest Roses grown. The color is salmon, copper, and 

 shell-pink, well blended. Its fragrance has been defined 

 as red cedar. A wonderful bloomer. Allow the great 

 flowers to open on the plant before cutting, as the buds 

 will not open in water. Awarded 1932 Fuerstenberg 

 Prize ($100) by Am. Rose Soc'y.; Gold Medal, Saverne, 

 1932; Certificate of Merit, Portland, 1932. $1 each.*

Plant These 7 for a Feast of Fragrance 



When you can depend on exhilarating fragrance 

 in addition to delightful colors and fine flowers for 

 cutting, it adds immeasurably to the value of a Rose. 

 In form, color, perfume, no two of these are alike.

•LADY ALICE STANLEY. H.T. Flesh-pink. One 

 of the oldest Hybrid Tea Roses now grown, but it is 

 still one of the best, and is always in demand. Color is 

 exquisite flesh-pink, lightened with rich coral on the 

 reverse of the petals and a suspicion of salmon in the 

 center of the bloom. 75 cts. each.* 



•LADY ASHTOWN. H.T. Pink. Another continu- 

 ously satisfactory old Rose. The large, long-pointed 

 buds open to perfect carmine-pink blooms with a golden 

 underglow. Borne singly on long stems, they are fine 

 for cutting and last well in the house. For 31 years 

 Lady Ashtown has been unsurpassed in its class and 

 color, both for bedding and cutting. 75 cts. each.* 



*Editor McFarland. H.T. 



See illustration 



If we were allowed a personal expression, we would 

 emphatically state that this is the finest deep pink garden 

 Rose in the world today. The perfectly formed flowers 

 are produced through all the growing season and are of 

 a clear, brilliant pink. They come on nice long cutting 

 stems, are fragrant, and as cut-flowers retain their form 

 and last longer than any Rose we know. The plants 

 are vigorous and have healthy, normal green foliage. 

 We believe that Editor McFarland will soon be the 

 standard by which new pink Roses will be judged.
