Five New American 
_ HYBRID-TEA ROSES — 
_ We take pleasure in offering this sterling collection of Ameri- < 
_ can novelties; three of them productions by the same growers 
_ who gave us the Los Angeles Rose, a variety that has proven < 
itself one of the finest bedding Roses ever raised, and we have 
every reason to believe that the varieties now offered for the 
first time will prove equally satisfactory. f 
COLUMBIA (E.G. Hill, 1918) Z 
This beautiful Rose (illustrated in colors on the plate 
opposite) has not only become one of the most 
popular winter cut flowers, but has also proven 
itself one of the best bedding or garden varieties. 
_ It is of strong, vigorous habit of growth and ex- 
ceptionally free-blooming. The flowers, which 
are of good size, are perfect in form, both in bud 
as well as when fully expanded. In color it is a most pleasing 
_ shade of rose-pink and delightfully fragrant. Strong two-year- 
old plants, $1.50 each.

3 (Howard & Smith, 1920) 
s This is, undoubtedly, the finest yellow Rose we have. While 
- in some stages of development, as well as in growth, it resembles 
_ Golden Emblem, it is a stronger grower, and its rich, chrome- 
yellow flowers as they mature, become suffused with salmon-pink. 
(Illustrated on page 128.) Strong two-year-old California-grown 
plants, $3.00 each.

MISS LOLITA ARMOUR (Howard & Smith, 1920) 
The unique coloring of this novelty is a combination of tints difficult 
to describe, and is absolutely distinct from all other varieties. The 
flowers are of large size, full double, with petals of great sub- 
stance and delightfully fragrant. As the flowers expand they 
develop to a deep, coral-red with a golden, coppery-red suffusion, 
the base of the petals a rich golden-yellow with coppery-red - 
sheen. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, and very free- 
flowering. A Rose for which we predict great popu- 
— larity. Strong two-year-old California-grown plants, 
ae $5.00 each. : 
ROSE MARIE (orner, 1918) 
A most pleasing shade of clear rose-pink, 
with ideal long shapely buds which open to 
very large flowers of good form. The plant 
is a strong, vigorous, healthy grower, and 
remarkably prolific. We consider it the best 
bedding Rose of its color yet introduced. 
$3.00 each. 
William F. Dreer (Howard & Smith, 1920) 
A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as Los Angeles, 
and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not comparable to any 
other variety, it reminding one of the delicate tints of some 
varieties of water lilies. The flowers, which are similar in 
shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all 
stages of development, are at their best in the half-expanded 
flower. These, in expanding, are of a soft, silvery shell- 
pink, thé base of the petals of a rich golden-yellow which, 
at certain stages of development, gives a golden suffusion to 
the entire flower, this golden suffusion being particularly

Miss Lotira Armour California-grown plants, $5.00 each. 
We will supply one each of the five varieties for $15.00.
