HABDV E>'ERBL005nNG TEA ROSES — Continued. 



I Sunrise Rose 



A strong grower, free bloomer, and in every way a 

 desirable Rose. The color is absolutely new, the buds 

 showing high, brilliant scarlet and yellow, blending to 

 orange and copper; inside of petals, golden-yellow. 



UNCLE JOHN _An offspring of Golden Gate, from which 

 it differs in color, which is much more intense. Well 

 worth a trial. 



MURIEL GRAHAM , 



blushed rose; almost a yellow Mermet. 



SYLPH — Large, high-centered flowers, with deep, stiff 

 petals. A strong grower and abundant bloomer, most 

 suitable for garden planting and cutting purposes, has 

 exquisitely handsome and richly tea-scented flowers, 

 pure white, tinted with peach color; center creamy white, 

 making a beautiful blending of colors. 



MRS. E. W. MAWLEY — xhis new Tea Rose produces mag- 

 nificent flowers of beautiful form in the utmost profu- 

 sion. It resembles Maman Cochet, and, in many respects, 

 is the equal of that variety, only it is several shades 

 lighter in color. We think this is almost sufficient en- 

 dorsement. 



MAD. HOSTE_ThA color of this variety is soft, light 

 canary-yellow, deepening in the center to pure golden- 

 yellow, beautifully flushed with pale amber. Edge and 

 reverse of petals creamy white. 



San Jose, California, January 23, 1916. 

 Dear Sirs: — I received the Rose plants I ordered of you. They 

 are certainly fine plants, the best 1' ever saw. I ordered one-year- 

 old plants, and I think the ones you sent me must be two-year-old. 

 Thanks ever so much for sending- me such fine plants. I have 

 been buying- Roses of you now for five or six! years and I have 

 quit dealing with other firms. 



Tours truly. ARTHUR S. BRIGGS.

Sunrise. 



* Wm. R. Smith 



Especially suited for outdoor planting and cutting pur- 

 poses. The soft blending of the salmon-pinks, rose-pinks, 

 and the magnificent flesh tints resemble the blush of a 

 maidens cheek. The flowers are large, full and double, 

 and most exquisitely formed. The petals are so firm they 

 look like wax. Perfect buds. The flowers are borne on 

 long, strong stems, just right for making bouquets. 



* MADAME CAMILLE _ThP color is a pale rosy flush, 



shaded with salmon and lavender. 

 WHITE GOLDEN CxATE — Identical with its parent variety, 



Golden Gate, except in color, which is ivory-white. 



Buds are of elegant shape, long and pointed; flowers 



full and double, with substantial petals.

"WH.AT A RECEXT VISITOR S.\ID." 



A recent visitor from Toledo, Ohio, exclaimed when he saw the 

 wtmderful Rose bushes g^rowins in our large house: ".-Vre thev 

 the ones you offer as two year plants?" AVhen told thev were 

 he said, "I have visited all the Rose growing establishments in 

 the country and none compare with your plants, as thev are the 

 finest I ever saw, and I have been growing Roses for 25 years." 

 "Why," said he. "your two-year-obi plants are larger and better 

 in every way than those offered by some firms as three-vear-old 

 or Star size plants "

 prospective customers these plants it would need no "argument to 

 convince them of the quality of our stock. Send us your order If
