EVERBLOOMING STAR ROSES 



•Director Rubio. 

 The most vivid pink Rose. 



$1 each 



•GOLDEN GLEAM. H.T. Vivid yellow. The nicely 

 formed buds are pure yellow with carmine Stains, and 

 open to large blooms of clear daffodil-yellow, holding 

 their color longer than most. Sweet honey-like fra- 

 grance. 75 cts. each.* 



•GRENOBLE. H.T. See page 12. 



•GRUSS AN AACHEN. Ben.-Bour. 

 White to carmine. A dependable con- 

 tinuous-blooming bedding or border va- 

 riety. While on short stems and not good 

 for cutting, the large fully double flowers of 

 flesh-pink, salmon, and yellow are a con- 

 tinuous delight in the garden. Has 80 to 100 

 petals and is mildly fragrant. 75c. each.* 



• GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. H.Ben. Deep crimson. 

 Noted for its pervasive fragrance that is especially 

 delightful. The flowers come in clusters, each one 

 perfect, but on slender stems. Rich crimson, changing 

 to bright scarlet, shading to velvety fiery red. Use this 

 Rose for a continuous-flowering, fragrant, 4 to 5-foot 

 hedge. 75 cts. each.* 



*Edith Nellie Perkins. H.T. 



(Salmon-pink). See illustration 



We think this is one of the finest Roses we 

 have ever grown. It is one of the first to 

 bloom, the flowers are perfect in form, en- 

 chantingly beautiful in coloring, and they are gener- 

 ously produced on strong, healthy plants. Long- 

 pointed buds of cream, orange, and rosy carmine open to 

 high-centered, pale salmon flowers, heavily overspread 

 with gold on the inside of the petals, while the reverse 

 is rosy carmine with the gold extending half-way up on 

 the carmine. 



That is a technical explanation but it does not 

 convey (neither does the color-plate) the indescribable 

 beauty of the blooms. 



It is so beautiful that we almost forgot to say that 

 it is delightfully fragrant. 75 Cts. each.* 



*Director Rubio. H.T. (Cochineal-pink) 



One of the most striking Roses we have ever grown, 

 and the largest Rose blooms we have ever seen. One 

 flower we grew measured l x /i inches in diameter; you 

 can imagine the size of the buds. The color is cochineal- 

 pink according to Ridgway's Color Chart, but that 

 does not describe the brilliance and beauty of the 

 flower at all stages from the mammoth Jong-pointed 

 bud to the loose, ruffled, open flower, and it doesn't 

 fade. The plant is hardly of average height but sturdy, 

 and flowers are held rigidly erect on stout stems. Mild 

 fragrance. Gold Medal, Save-rne. $1 each.* 



•HEINRICH WENDLAND. H.T. (W. Kordes Sons, 

 1930.) Reddish copper. Large, very double (70 petals) 

 flowers of reddish copper with an orange flush over all; 

 backs of the petals are rich orange. It has a rich, syrupy 

 fragrance. Blooms come singly on strong, upright plants 

 with shiny, leathery foliage. We think this is one of the 

 most striking of Kordes' highly colored Roses. $1 each.* 



• JOANNA HILL. H.T. Yellow. This perfectly 

 formed Rose makes long, shapely buds of orange- 

 yellow that open to large, double flowers with an 

 orange center, paling to cream-color at the edges 

 of the petals. One of the finest Roses for cutting. 

 It does not bloom as freely as some but every flower 

 is a gem. A popular florists' Rose. 75 cts. each.* 



•JULIEN POTIN. H.T. Golden yellow. In long- 

 pointed form and rich coloring this is the aristocrat 

 of pure yellow Roses. Of medium to large size, the 

 pointed, clear yellow buds open to splendid golden 

 yellow blooms which hold their color well. The finest 

 yellow for exhibition. The fragrant flowers are quite 

 freely produced on upright plants. 90 cts. each.*
