GRAND AMERICAN HYBRID-TEA ROSE 
LOS ANGELES - (Howard & Smith, 1917) 
(Illustrated in colors on the Plate opposite) 
We first sent out ‘‘Los Angeles’? in the spring of 1917. 
Many thousands of plants have since been distributed, and we 
know from the many complimentary letters received that it has 
given more satisfaction than any other Rose we ever handled, 
and are convinced that within a short time it will become the 
most popular bedding Rose in America. 
Not only is it attracting every Rose lovers attention 
here at home, but at the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris, 
France, where competitive trials of new Roses are made 
from all the renowned growers of the world. Los Ange- 
les was singled out in 1918 as the greatest and most 
desirable variety shown and awarded the highest prize, 
a Gold Medal, by unanimous consent of the judges. 
Los Angeles is, by all odds, ‘one of the finest Roses. 
ever introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and pro- 
duces a continuous succession of long- stemmed flowers of 
a luminous flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded with 
translucent gold at the base of the petals. In richness 
of fragrance it equals in intensity the finest Marecha] 
Neil. The buds are long and pointed, and expand into a flower of mammoth propor- 
tions, while the beauty of form and ever-increasing wealth of color is maintained from 
the incipient bud until the last petal drops. :

Page 129 The plants which we offer this season are the same class of stock us sent out the past 
three years, being very strong two-year-old California grown, which will give an 
abundance of bloom this season. Price, $1.50 each. 
YELLOW IRISH HYBRID=-TEA ROSE 
GOLDEN EMBLEM (cGredy, 1918) 
We showed this beautiful new yellow Rose at the exhibition of the 
American Rose Society in Philadelphia, March, 1917, where it 
attracted much attention and was awarded the Society’s Silver 
Medal. It has also been awarded the Gold Medal of the National 
Rose Society of England. 
It is a great improvement on Rayon d’Or, the color being richer 
and deeper, with larger and more perfect blooms. It is so perpet- 
ual flowering, that as a garden and bedding Rose, it is without a 
rival. At its best it surpasses Marechal Niel in shape. Its habit 
of growth is ideal; free and branching with holly-like, glossy-green 
foliage; delightfully scented. $2.50 each. 
GORGEOUS NEW CLIMBING ROSE 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER 
This is without question the most important addition to our list of Climbing 
Roses in many years; no other Rose in any class can compare with it for brillancy 
of color, which is a vivid scarlet that is maintained without burning or bleaching 
until the petals fall. The flowers are of medium size, semi-double, very freely 
produced in clusters of from three to six flowers each on much branched canes, 
the plants being literally covered with flowers from top to bottom. It is of strong 
climbing habit and perfectly hardy. This Rose has been most highly commended 
by the English horticultural press. It was awarded a Gold Medal py the National 
Rose Society and an award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 
land, and was also awarded during the summer of 1918 the much coveted Gold 
Medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each. 
NEW RAMBLER ROSE 
POUGHKEEPSIE 
A double flowering ‘‘sport’? of the briliant and popular single flowering 
Rambler Rose Hiawatha from which it has inherited all good qualities, richness 
of color, a brilliant ruby-carmine with just a touch of white at the centre of each 
flower, together with strong, vigorous, healthy growth with clean foliage which is 
immune from mildew. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each.
