Hybkid-Tea Rose, Los Angei.es 



New American Hybrid-Tea 

 Rose " Los Angeles." 



(Howard & Smith, 1917.) 



It is a great pleasure to be able to offer such a meritorious 

 new Rose, particularly so, one of American origin, and we be- 

 lieve that this splendid variety is only the forerunner of other 

 equally good sorts " Made in America." 



We have not only seen the originators' great field of it in 

 California, but have also had the opportunity of watching it 

 in our own trial beds, and it has given a most satisfactory ac- 

 count of itself in strong, vigorous growth and in freedom of 

 bloom in which it was not equalled by any other variety in its 

 first season after planting. 



Following is the originators' description: 



" Los Angeles is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses ever 

 introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and produces a con- 

 tinuous 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 inten- 

 sity the finest Marechal Neil. The buds are long and pointed 

 and expand into a flower of mammoth proportions, while the 

 beauty of form and ever increasing wealth of color is maintained 

 from the incipient bud until the last petal drops." 



Unlike many of the new imported Roses the plants are extra 

 heavy two-year-old stock, which should give a full crop of 

 flowers this season. Price, $2.00 each. 



Louise Catherine Breslau (Pemet-Ducher, 1912). En- 

 tirely distinct from all other Roses in color, the buds are 

 coral-red shaded with chrome yellow, while the expanded 

 flowers, which are very large, are of a superb shrimp-pink 

 shaded coppery-orange and chrome yellow. 75 cts. each. 

 Lyon (Pernet-Ducher, 1907). The long buds are tipped coral- 

 red and chrome yellow at the base. The flowers when ex- 

 panded are large and full, with broad petals of superb color, 

 being a coral-red, shaded with chrome-yellow in the centre, 

 toning to a shrimp-pink at the tips. 60 cts. each.
