CALIFORNIA NURSERY CO., INC., OLDEST AND LARGEST 
*Lady Gay (Wicb.) Flowers double in clusters; 
cerise pink, shading on edge of petals to a very 
soft pink. Vigorous grower; will cover a large 
porch in an incredibly short time. 
Lady Ursula (H. T.; A. Dickson, 1908.) Flesh 
pink. Flowers large, full and beautifully 
formed; center high with reflexed petals. Tea 
scented. 
La France (H. T.; Guillol, 1867.) Pink, tinted 
silvery blush. P^lowers large and borne freely. 
Delightfully fragrant, excelling nearly all 
others in this respect. One of the great 
favorites. 
*Lamarque (Nois; Marechal, 1830.) White. The 
most popular white climber in California. 
Flowers borne continually and in great pro- 
fusion. Has more abundant foliage than most 
of the other free-blooming climbers, 
Laurent Carle (H. T.) Brilliant velvety carmine. 
Buds long, perfect form. Robust grower and 
continually in bloom. 
Leuchtfeuer (H. T.) Deep, rich velvety crimson; 
good form and fi'ee flowering. 
Liberty (H. T.; A. Dickson, 1900.) Crimson scar- 
let. A fine, free, continuous bloomer. Flowers 
medium sized, well formed and richly colored. 
Excellent for forcing as well as for planting 
out. A fine "all-around" variety. 
Lyon (Pern.; Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) Shrimp pink 
or coral; center salmon-shaded chrome yellow. 
No rose ever made a quicker leap into popu- 
larity. Its color is gorgeous, form unsurpassed 
and fragrance delightful. Flowers are occa- 
sionally of enormous size, but always fault- 
lessly formed. 
*Madame Alfred Carnere (Nois.; Schwartz, 1879.) 
Creamy white. A Hybrid Noisette, hence 
hardier than the rest of the class. Flowers 
are large, finely formed and borne profusely. 
Growth strong and vigorous. A very valuable 
variety, particularly for Oregon and Wash- 
ington. 
Madame Caroline Testout (H. T.; Pemet-Ducher, 
1890.) Bright pink. Almost too well known 
on the Pacific Coast to require descripton. The 
official city flower of Portland. Flowers of the 
largest size and beautifully formed. Free 
blooming, vigorous and healthy. 
Mad. Jules Grolez (H. T.) Beautiful satiny china 
rose; flowers large, double and well formed; 
■ very free flowering. A fine hedge rose and un- 
surpassed for massing. A long row of the 
sturdy plants in full bloom forms a hedge that 
one will long remember for its unusual and 
enchanting beauty, and the dainty foliage that 
remains after the flowers have faded. 
Magna Charta (H. P.; Paul, 1876.) Rosy red. 
Flowers very large, full and fragrant. Grows 
vigorously and blooms freely. 
Maraan Cochet (T.; Cochet, 1893.) Deep rose 
pink on outer petals, but very light in center. 
Buds extremely large and beautifully formed, 
with outer petals well reflexed. Being very 
full, they hold their form until withered. Mag- 
nificent in every way. One of the most popular 
varieties in California and generally known as 
"Pink Cochet." 
Maman Cochet, Red (Niles Cochet, T.; California 
Nursery Co., 1906.) Cherry red on outer 
petals, lighter within. A sport from the popu- 
lar Maman Cochet and a far better rose. The 
pink of the latter is replaced by a bright red, 
which at some seasons becomes decidedly bril- 
liant. The flowers are just a trifle smaller. 
Stems are better, carrying flowers fairly well. 
It is a remarkably free bloomer, particularly 
in the fall, at the very time when its color is 
at its best. Succeeds splendidly as a "stand- 
ard" as well as in bush form. A remarkably 
strong grower. 
Maman Cochet, White (T.; Cook, 1897.) White 
with outer petals blushed. The largest of all 
the Cochet roses. Buds and flowers magnifi- 
cently formed and borne very freely, 
Madame Edouard Herriot or Daily Mai! (Pern.; 
Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Superb coral red, shaded 
yellow at base, passing to shrimp red. At first 
sight it seems artificial. The flowers are mod- 
erately large and semi-double. Buds perfectly 
formed and magnificently colored. This would 
seem to be enough for one variety, but beyond 
all this it has the further merit of being the 
freest blooming rose we have ever known. Its 
floriferousness surpasses everything else, good 
and bad. It is not only profuse, but continu- 
ous. The flowers do not last long, but more are 
always coming. Called "Daily Mail" as a result 
of winning gold cup offered by that paper for 
best new rose at International Horticultural 
Exposition, London. Also received the Gold 
Medal of the National Rose Society of England. 
Marcella (H. T.; Paul, 1913.) Salmon flesh. Buds 
buff. Large, well formed and handsome. 
Growth strong and erect. Free and continu- 
ous bloomer. Good for cutting. 
Melody (H. T.; A. Dickson, 1911.) Saffron yellow 
with primrose edges and tips. Flowers are of 
medium size, sometimes very large, particularly 
in fall; very double, but always opening freely 
into a lovely flower with reflexed outer petals 
and fine center. The fragrance is delightfully 
rich, probably unexcelled. Plant grows vigor- 
ously, has very dark green foliage, which is 
violet when young and mildew proof at all 
stages. Stems are splendid, long and slender, 
but stiff. 
Marquis de Querkoent (T.; Godard, 1901.) Car- 
mine on flesh or yellow ground. Color decidedly 
variable. Very free bloomer. Spring flowers 
are only fair, but coloring in fall is very bril- 
liant. 
Mary Countess of Ilchester (H. T.) Forms flowers 
of great size, deliciously scented and produced 
freely on long stems. This, with its large, 
circular, smooth petals of warm crimson car- 
mine color, makes it a very distinctive variety, 
which should be widely planted. 
Mile. Cecile Brunner (Dwf. Poly.; Ducher, 1880.) 
Salmon pink. The clustered flowers are small, 
daintily formed and exquisitely colored. The 
little buds are especially beautiful. Blooms 
constantly. A truly charming rose. 
Miss Kate Moulton (H. T,; HiU, 1907.) Pink, 
tinted silvery flesh. Almost faultlessly formed. 
Outer petals very large and most strongly re- 
flexed, while inner petals maintain a high, 
pointed center. Quite a free bloomer. Superla- 
tive in form and excellent in other respects. 
Morning Glow (H, T.) Bright, silvery pink. Is 
quite similar to Radiance. Very fragrant. 
Mrs. David Jardine (H. T.; A. Dickson, 1908.) 
Bright rose pink, faintly suffused salmon. 
Flowers come singly on fine, long, strong stems. 
V^ery fine. 
* VARIETIES STARRED ARE CLIMBERS.
