FORMS OF ROSES 
In California there are only two forms of roses grown-the BUSH and TREE (or STANDARD ROSE) The former Is 
(as the name indicates) of bush form, branching from the ground; the Tree Hose is budded on a stem of the wUd 
rose, which has been trained up for this purpose three, four and sometimes five feet from the ground. The latter aie 
usually preferred for planting on the lawn, as they are out of the way of the lawn-mower for one reason and are 
certainly more showy for such places than the Bush Rose. To grow a Standard to saleable size usually takes three 
or four years; hence the difference in price. Bush Roses are grown from slips or cuttings, or they are budded on some 
strong-growing sort. Some varieties being of weakly growth require to be worked in this style. There is really, however, 
not much difference in the quality or quantity of the blossoms.

LYON ROSE 
NEWEST GOLD MEDAL ROSE 
In introducing this splendid novelty, we feel confident that we have a rare treat in store for all "Rose Lovers." Not 
for many years has such a novelty been sent out. Many so-called "novelties," that really have no true or uncommon 
merits, are being continually introduced, and we do not wonder at the public being somewhat skeptical on this point. 
In the Lyon Rose will be found no disappointment, We have grown it and were greatly pleased with its wonderful 
beauty. We can truly say that it has the most distinct and novel color yet found in a rose; a shade that has 
long been sought after by the rosarian. 
The Lyon Rose is a Hybrid Tea, thus insuring good blooming qualities. It was raised by Pernet-Ducher, and was 
awarded a Gold Medal at Lyons, France, in 1907. This triumph alone brands it a variety of the greatest merit. One 
of the judges who awarded the Gold Medal to this rose says, "I have no hesitation in recommending it as the most 
wonderful color yet obtained among roses. This may be best compared to the intense flame color seen in a glowing 
coke furnace." 
A more detailed description is as follows: Shrimp pink at edges of petals, center of flower intense coral red, shaded 
chrome yellow. Flowers are large, fairly full, with smooth petals and long pointed buds. It is a free grower and 
abundant bloomer. 
See colored picture on fourth page of cover of this catalogue. 
Strong Plants, $1.50 each. 
NINE OTHER GOLD MEDAL ROSES 
When a rose is awarded a gold medal by the National Rose Society, it means that it is one of the best varieties 
that has been introduced that year, and we are therefore indeed pleased to have to offer nine of such roses. After 
each variety, we have marked the year that it was introduced. 
We have seen all of these sorts at our nurseries in bloom, and we must admit' that they are indeed wonderful 
introductions well worthy to be in every collection. The first year you may be a little disappointed, as we were, 
in some of them after reading such glowing descriptions. You will, however, not be the second year. It sometimes 
takes a year for a rose to become acclimated to a certain section. 
If planted early in the season, say January, February and early March, you will have very good results the first 
year,
