* Nigrette. H.T. 



(M. Krause, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 87. Black- 

 ish maroon. The almost black buds open to dark 

 maroon blooms which in their deepest shades give 

 the impression of black velvet. It is so dark that 

 when it was first shown in the famous Rose-gardens 

 at Sangerhausen, Germany, in the summer of 1933, 

 the newspapers throughout the world heralded it 

 as "The Black Rose of Sangerhausen." Cer- 

 tainly, never before have we seen a Rose which 

 for its depth of coloring was so remarkable. 

 The color varies violently with the season and 

 weather from light crimson to deepest 

 maroon. With us the flowers are at their 

 best and darkest after the beginning of the 

 cool nights of early autumn. Nigrette is 

 also unusually fragrant, with a delightful 

 old-Rose scent, and the moderate-sized plants 

 are almost continuously in bloom. We offer 

 you plants of our own growing, hence more 

 vigorous than last year. As a novelty and as a Rose 

 that will give you a sense of pleasure that is different, 

 we heartily recommend Nigrette. $2 each; 3 for $5.

• LITTLE BEAUTY. H.T. (Howard & Smith, 

 1934.) Deep pink. A splendid Rose for garden 

 decoration, combining a mass color effect with 

 quantities of blooms borne in a continuous succession 

 throughout the season. Indispensable as a producer 

 of excellent cut-flowers of brilliant cerise-pink. 

 (From introducer's description.) $1 each.* 



• LUCIA ZULOAGA. H.T. (P. Dot, 1934.) 

 Brownish scarlet. Pedro Dot has again created a 

 new Rose-color, this time reaching into the rich 

 shades of the Orient. He describes this novelty as 

 "intensive lacquer red" — to us it is brownish scarlet 

 with a golden undertone and an iridescence that 

 changes the shades every time the flower moves. 

 There are but 15 of these glorious velvety petals but 

 the flowers are 4 inches or over in diameter. It has 

 a rich perfume. The sprawly plant, 12 inches tall, 

 has dark green, varnished foliage. $1.25 each.* 



• LUCY NICOLAS. H.T. (C. Mallerin, 1935.) 

 Orange-copper. Another large Rose of that orange 

 and copper mixture so popular today. Lovely, 

 orange-copper, ovoid buds open to 43^-inch flowers 

 of satiny orange-copper; after opening, the outer 

 petals change to soft rose-pink, which, with the 

 richly colored center petals, make a very lovely 

 picture. The petalage varies; the first year the flow- 

 ers may not have over 30 petals but the second year 

 they average at least twice that many. It is deli- 

 ciously fragrant, having a very sweet honey-like 

 scent. $1.50 each.* 



• LUIS BRINAS. H.T. (P. Dot, 1934.) Plant 

 Patent No. 102. Orange-copper. There is not a 

 jarring note in the entire color-range of this Rose, 

 from bud to faded bloom.' Fine pointed buds of 

 orange-copper open slowly, the petals curling back, 

 making a starry flower with a high center. It is fully 

 double, with 40 to 45 petals, and when entirely open 

 the color is soft old-rose, flushed with gold. It has 

 a mild distinctive fragrance which is delightful. A 

 vigorous, upright-growing plant with bronzy new 

 foliage. It is continually putting out new canes 

 from the base, which furnish a continuous crop of 



bloom. It has become one of our most popular 

 Roses. Has won Gold Medal and highest 

 award from French and English Rose Socie- 

 ties. $1.50 each.*
