THREE REGAL ROSES 



The color plate on the opposite page is truly a regal reproduction of the colors of these three Roses. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet introduced in 1920 by the veteran French hybridizer, Pernet-Ducher and named by him after his son 

 Georges, who lost his life in the World's War, is proving itself one of our finest bedding varieties, entirely distinct in color, of large size 

 and equally beautiful in bud and in full blown flower. Imperial Potentate was awarded the highest honors in 1922 at the International 

 Rose Test Garden, in Portland, the city of its origin, while Eldorado is of California origin sent out by us in 1923 and which in this short 

 time has made a splendid reputation as a fine bedding Rose. 



Eldorado (Land of Cold) 



In this we have an esact counterpart of Miss Lolita Armour, in 

 the large-sized flowers of distinct formation, vigorous growth, and 

 free flowering habit and fragrance, but in color it is of the golden 

 yellow that is peculiar to the climbing Rose Marechal Neil, with 

 the base of the petals slightly tinted red. $1.50 each. 



Imperial Potentate 



Splendidly shaped buds, opening to well-formed, large, double 

 flowers of crisp, glistening rose-pink with silvery suffusion at the 

 base of the petals, sweetly scented. At the International Rose 

 Test Garden, at Portland, Oregon, this variety was awarded the 

 Silver Medal of the American Rose Society, the Gold Medal 

 of the city of Portland, for the best bush Rose shown and the 

 Silver Trophy of the Portland Chamber of Commerce for the 

 best Rose produced in 1923 on the Pacific Coast. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet 



We have felt enthusiastic about this variety ever since its 

 introduction two years ago, but the wonderful flowers which 

 it has produced during the season of 1924 convinces us that it 

 stands at the head of the list of the many valuable garden Roses 

 that have been produced by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and produces its large flowers which are beautiful 

 in both bud and fully developed bloom and which are of an intense 

 oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine at the margin of the 

 petals, the whole being suffused with a golden sheen; a brilliancy 

 of coloring which our artist has been able to merely approximate 

 in the colored illustration on the plate opposite. $1.50 each. 



SPECIAL OFFER. One strong two-year-old plant each of 

 the Three Regal Roses for $4.00 or one each of the Three Regal 

 Roses and the Three Radiant Roses offered on page 128 for $7.00. 



Six Extra Fine American Hybrid-Tea Roses 



America 



Has created quite a sensationas a winter cut flower during the past two 

 seasons and has proven equally desirable as a garden Rose. A strong, vigorous 

 grower and very free flowering; in color a glowing rose-pink with long pointed 

 buds which develop into large, artistically formed double flowers. $1.50 each. 



Felicity 



A variety that will prove to be one of the best garden Roses on account of its 

 vigorous growth and remarkably free flowering habit. In color it is a beautiful 

 shade of mallow-pink, shading to cerise at the edges, with a soft creamy s\if- 

 fusion at the base of the petals; a fine long bud developing into a splendid, 

 large, full, cup-shaped, sweet-scented flower. $1.50 each. 



Los Angeles 



We would not consider any collection of American Hybrid-Tea Roses com- 

 plete without Los Angeles. It is now a firm favorite wherever high-grade 

 Roses are appreciated; its wonderful flame-pink flowers are marvelously 

 beautiful. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. H. S. Prentiss Nichols 



One of the strongest growing hybrid-tea Roses that we know, it is of erect 

 sturdy habit with dark green, leathery foliage, producing large well-formed 

 double flowers, which are of a brilliant deep pink color. This promises to be one 

 of our good bedding varieties; we have been well pleased with its behaviour 

 in the fields during the past two seasons. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. J. C. Ainsworth 



A beautiful "sport" from Mrs. Charles Russell, of which it is a counterpart 

 in strong vigorous habit of growth, large, well-shaped buds and fine, full double, 

 delightfully scented flowers, but in color it is entirely distinct from its parent, 

 the buds on first opening are of a beautiful peach-blossom pink, shading to a 

 delicate mauve-tinted white at the edges, the flowers as they develop change 

 to a lovely crimson-pink at the centre. $1.50 each. 



William F. Dreer 



This beautiful variety which is of the same parentage as Los Angeles is a 

 splendid companion to that popular variety and by many is preferred on account 

 of its very delicate coloring, a soft silvery shell-pink suffused with gold early 

 and late in the season. $1.00 each. 



SPECIAL OFFER. One strong two-year-old plant each of the above 

 Six Extra Fine American Hybrid-Tea Roses for $6.75.
