 excellent, continuous blooming garden Rose with a lovely 

 clove-scent. Its long buds open to glowing hearts of yellow- 

 orange. The flowers are borne sometimes singly sometimes in

 wonderful new Rose which has almost everything a good Rose

 ness, a lovely color, fragrance, and persistence of bloom. The 

 color is flesh with salmon and gold suffusion with faint gold at

 telle Gold Medal 1934, and awarded the honor at Lyon, France, 

 of being "The most beautiful Rose in France for the year 1934." 

 In our own trial ground it has persistently stood out among the 

 thousand or more varieties, and enraptured visitors were in en- 

 thusiastic accord with the high acclaim bestowed upon it in its 

 land of origin. The long, slender, and pointed Nasturtium 

 orange buds open to sweetly fragrant flowers of a charming 

 Nasturtium buff straying to a lovely shade of shell pink at 

 the petal edges — the nearest approach to a pure buff lightened 

 with pink at the petal margins. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.

 ful Rose was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland when 

 visiting our rose trial garden some years ago. Has semi-double 

 flowers of a bright rich scarlet color produced profusely during 

 the whole season on vigorous plants of fairly tall growth. 

 $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz. 



President Boone (Howard & Smith, 1936). A superb combina- 

 tion of color, good form, and vigorous habit. Deep velvety 

 crimson blooms beautifully veined with an entrancing velvety 

 black. Has the disease resistance and vigor of Radiance and a 

 dehghtful rich fragrance. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



R. M. S. Queen Mary (H. A. Verschuren, 1937). Plant Patent 

 No. 249. The tremenduous enthusiasm expressed by thousands 

 of Rose enthusiasts when this magnificent Rose was first intro- 

 duced is now shared by practically all gardeners. R. M. S. 

 Queen Mary certainly is beautiful beyond description— distinct 

 from anything yet seen in Roses. Its color is ,a glorious com- 

 bination of vivid shades blending rich glowing salmon with an 

 exquisite pure pink and orange base. The buds are long and 

 pointed, and the gracefully formed flowers have an intriguing 

 fragrance. Awarded 4 Gold Medals and 3 First-Class Cer- 

 tificates in Europe and U. S. A. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz.
