Yours respectfully, A. V. FILTRO. 
IVillozvmere. 
Field-grown, hardy, 2-yr., No. 1 plants, 40c each; 3 for ^1.00, 
postpaid. 
Betty Uprichard. A charming type with rolling edges. A blend of deep 
carmine with coppery orange, the interior being mostly a delicate salmon- 
pink. 
Dame Bdith. Helen. A magnificent, fragrant, full-bodied new rose of many 
substantial petals which curl back prettily, holding steadily to one vivid 
pink color, and that the rare Rose du Barri shade. 
Btoile de France. Velvety garnet-red cup, with center of vivid cerise. 
Flowers very large and full, with marked imbrications. 
Grass an Teplitz. Intense depth and richness of color. Velvety crimson-red. 
Kaiserin Augfusta Victoria. Full double flowers; delicate creamy white; 
deliciously fragrant. 
Bos Angfeles. One or the grandest all-around roses of American origin ever 
put on the market. Flowers large and continuous, in color a flame-pink, 
toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. 
Mme. Jules Bouclie. Pure white slightly blushed at center. A fine 
bedding type. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. Buds are deeply cupped. Color, deep golden orange, 
shading to creamy yellow. This popular variety has long been the stand¬ 
ard yellow, small-budded “corsage rose” for our American women. 
President Herbert Hoover. The brilliant new Hybrid Tea Rose that 
has become popular over night. Picture the amazingly rich contrast of 
its maroon, orange and gold colorings, as they merge together in their 
glorious way. Long pointed buds, tall strong stems and its heavy bloom¬ 
ing qualities make it an ideal Rose for the florist’s trade, and so far 
it has not been grown in near large enough quantities to supply the 
demand. Also, it is a fine Rose in the garden. 
Radiance. Extra 
hardy, vigorous and 
prolific ; one of the 
best all-around gar¬ 
den roses. Its color 
is a beautiful blend¬ 
ing of carmine-rose 
with shades of opal and copper. 
Sensation. Bud is large, long-pointed; the expanded flower very double, 
averaging 5 inches across ; very lasting. The finish suggests rich velvet, in 
color a scarlet-crimson deepened over all by glossy maroon. The foliage is 
dark, and the scented bloom profuse. 
Souv. de Claudius pemet. This fine variety maintains its reputation as the 
most reliable and strongest yellow rose ever introduced. Its color is a 
decided and unstained sunflower yellow, even deeper toned at center. Unlike 
most yellows, hot weather and exposure have little effect upon its pigments ; 
the matured flower gleaming as richly as when first unfolding. Its flower 
form is large and full, buds long and pointed. Vigorous, erect and branch¬ 
ing, with brilliant foliage and long, substantial stems. 
Sunburst. Flowers full, of fine elongated form; yellow, orange in the center. 
Talisman. The most gorgeous assemblage of colors in one flower ever pre¬ 
sented by a rose. That it has pleased the experts is proven by the great 
number of gold medal awards given it since the shows of ’28. The bud is 
long and shapely, developing into medium sized compactly double flowers; 
a free bloomer, with glossy foliage and strong plant growth. Here are the 
strong colors exhibited, mostly in well defined angular blocks ; gold, apricot- 
yellow, blood-orange, deep pink and old rose. 
Willowmere. (Per.), A robust garden rose of bushy habit, with beautiful 
buds, very large flowers and lustrous green foliage. Color rich shrimp-pink, 
shaded yellow at center, toning to cream-pink toward base of petals. 
Mme. Butterfly. A 
symphony of cream, 
pink, apricot and 
gold. The buds are a 
rich Indian red, yel¬ 
low at base; a delightful element in the constant mass of bloom. 
Etoile de France. 
Mme. B'douard Herriot. (Per.). A glorious commingling of terra cotta, 
bronze, geranium-red and dull copper ; fine, long, pointed buds of coral- 
red and yellow. Strong, upright growth. 
Mrs. Brskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). An unfading 
yellow with dark healthy foliage. Slender yellow buds opening to well¬ 
shaped canary-yellow blooms, deepening in the center. A satisfactory 
rose for bedding on account of its fine foliage, heavy growth and 
wealth of bloom.
