General McArthur 



A Very Prince Among Red 

 Roses 



To those who prefer a 

 Rose with full color, we 

 can recommend none 

 more highly than this 

 gorgeous crimson-scarlet 

 Hybrid Tea. It is hardy 

 in practically all locali- 

 ties, and as an outdoor 

 Rose it has no superior. 

 Of strong, vigorous, 

 healthy growth, branch- 

 ing freely, it produces its 

 wonderful blooms pro- 

 fusely from May until 

 October. Every shoot car- 

 ries a large, double well- 

 formed flowers of exquisite 

 fragrance, and splendid 

 lasting quality. First size, 

 from pots 314 inches in 

 diameter, 20 cts. each; 

 larger size, 30 cts. each; 

 two-year-old plants, 45 

 cts. each. 



Jean Note 



The flowers are large, 

 full and double, chrome- 

 yellow in the center, deep- 

 ening as they expand to 

 reddish-orange; the edges 

 of the petals are creamy 

 yellow. A strong grower, 

 and a valuable bush Rose 

 for planting outdoors. 25 

 cts. each; larger size, 45 

 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 55 cts. 



Lyon Rose 



(Pernetiana) 



The result of a cross 

 between Mad. Melanie 

 Soupert and Soleil d'Or. 

 Pronounced by experts as 

 the most important intro- 

 duction of modern times. 

 Flowers large, full and 

 double, of remarkable sub- 

 stance, shrimp-pink, edges 

 coral red or salmon-pink, 

 shaded chrome - yellow. 



Very fragrant. Constant bloomer. Perfectly hardy. Has 

 been awarded the highest prizes at the many exhibi- 

 tions of Europe. Stock limited and exceedingly scarce. 

 This is one of the very few Roses which does not grow 

 well on its own roots, and it is necessary to graft it on 

 a strong-growTi stock. We therefore offer only large, 

 two-year-old, budded plants, at $1 each. 



Ideal 



A well-named Rose, as i.t is a free and continuous 

 bloomer with fine buds. Flowers are similar to the 

 Bridesmaid in color, but like La France in shape and 

 form. A perfect ideal in every way, as it is a grand 

 garden Rose. 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts.; larger size, 

 25 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. each.

 riety. 25 cts. each; larger

Laurent Carle 



Just as we were prepar- 

 ing this book, a friend 

 wrote very enthusiastically 

 of this new Rose, saying it 

 was the richest and most 

 beautiful Rose he had 

 ever seen. It is, indeed, 

 a beauty, with its extra- 

 large, handsomely formed, 

 rich velvety carmine buds 

 and flowers. It is a phenomenally strong and robust 

 grower, hardy in every locality and continually in 

 bloom. Every lover of Roses should have this variety. 

 25 cts. each; larger size, 35 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 60 cts. each. 



California, February 22, 1912. 

 Gentlemen: — The order of Roses arrived yesterday in good con- 

 dition. Allow me to thank you for the very excellent quality and 

 size. All the plants in this order are two year size and very 

 large indeed for that size. After a considerable experience in 

 planting mail order Roses, I am becoming convinced that the 

 two year sizes are most economical in the long run. 



Yours sincerely, E. O. JAMES.
