of being the Standard Bearer. Its Color is-a deep crimson 
overlaid velvety crimson shading to vermilion AE 
toward the edges. Buds long and pointed on a ia 
stout stems opening full and double, each one a 
coming to perfection and produced in mar- 
velous profusion throughout the entire season.

brightness of the blooms and the luster of 
the foliage, being entirely free from mildew.

MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER (Tea Rose)—This is one of the newer 
varieties introduced by the growers of Lady Hillingdon. We have 
not seen a Rose that has met with such universal appreciation by 
both the amateur and professional grower, and has won awards in 
this country and Europe. The color is one very hard to describe, 
being a shade of brilliant clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a 
wonderful grower and bloomer, producing great numbers of strong 
shoots, each tipped with a bud. These shoots form the stem, from 
3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very large, well formed and 
full, petals of good substance. A very fine garden Rose, as well as 
a forcing Rose. Price, of strong pot-grown plants, 25c each. Two- 
year-old plants, 50c each. The stock is grown on own roots.

National Emblem. 
Bonita, Texas, Nov. 7, 1916. 
Sirs:—My daughter in Colorado or- 
dered one White Climbing Rose sent 
to me and I received it in due time, 
and I want to say it was the finest 
looking plant to be sent so far I ever 
saw. It looked like it had just been 
taken up. I thank you very much for 
your promptness and the care taken 
in sending it. Very truly, 
MRS. LULY C. CURE. 
East Herkimer, N. Y., 
December 11, 1916. 
Dear Sirs:—The Roses I got from 
you were in good shape last May of 
this year, and grew to a height of 
from 8 inches to 2 feet. I collected 
plenty of Roses during the growing 
season, and they are doing fine. 
Yours truly, RALPH NIELSON. 
Germantown, Pa., Jan. 7, 1917. 
Sirs:—I got some Roses of you last 
summer and they have done fine. I was 
just looking at them today how they 
were standing the Winter. They were 
doing fine. They were still green. 
T did not put anything around them 
but covered up their roots. 
Yours respectfully, 
F, WALSH.
