ROSES 



CALEDONIA 



Introduced by Dobbie & Co. in 1928. Awarded 

 Gold Medal, Scottish Rose Society, and Certificate of 

 Merit, National Rose Society of England. The flowers 

 when first opening are slightly tinted lemon, but this 

 changes to pure white as they develop. A fine garden 

 rose. (See illuslralion.) 



DAME EDITH HELEN 



This grand rose is quite distinct and delightfully 

 fragrant. Its petals turn back with that beautiful 

 reflex peculiar to La France. Color a brilliant yet 

 soft Rose du Barri pink. 



DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY 



A pure white "sport" from the pink Killarney; equal 

 to it in all the good points of the latter, superior to it 

 in some. One strong point of superiority is that it has 

 more petals than the parent variety, and these petals 

 are of greater substance, so it is of greater value for 

 outdoor bedding. The buds and flowers are beautiful 

 beyond description; many consider it easily the finest 

 white garden rose in cultivation. 



DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON 



The ground color is chrome-yellow, through which 

 run veins of rich orange and shadings of the same 

 running into the rich yellow. 



EVEREST, see description on page 134 and illustration

FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS 



The delightfully fragrant flowers are 

 carried on long, stiff stems. The buds 

 are long and pointed, brilliant orange 

 buff color, and open into moderately 

 double yellow flowers with apricot 

 center. 



JAMES GIBSON 



Introduced by McGredy & Son in 

 1928. A glowing crimson-scarlet with a 

 velvety sheen. It flowers profusely all 

 season, is remarkably healthy and vig- 

 orous; almost immune from all diseases. 

 (See illustration.) 



JONKHEER J. L. MOCK 



A fine rose for any purpose. Color is 

 carmine to imperial pink. A strong, 

 healthy grower, carrying its flowers on 

 long, stiff stems; they are full, of great 

 size, ha\'ing great substance and depth 

 of petal, with high center; very fragrant. 



POT GROWN 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSES 



A SELECTION OF SUPERIOR MERIT 



READY FOR SHIPMENT DURING MARCH, APRIL, MAY AND JUNE 



Our Pot-grown Roses are superior to the Roses usually sold because they are cut 

 back and potted early in the fall, giving ample time for root action and to allow 

 the plant to grow naturally. They are sturdy and compact and when sent by 

 express with the soil on the roots transplanting scarcely checks their growth.

 vrith good healthy foliage and very prolific flowering. Flowers delightfully fragrant.

LOS ANGELES 



This is, by all odds, one of the finest roses ever introduced. The growth is very 

 vigorous and produces a continuous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a lumi- 

 nous flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of 

 the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity the finest Marechal Niel. 

 The buds are long and pointed, and expand into a flower of mammoth proportions.
