ROSES for 
For garden color and indoor decoration throughout the 
year no flower can equal the rose. The early sorts are in 
bloom with the tulips and though a profusion of flowers are 
produced all through the summer, there are always some 
gorgeous buds to keep company with the chrysanthemums 
in late autumn.

‘"OLD ADOBE" 
COLLECTION 
The three essential requirements of a good rose 
are that the blooms be beautiful, that the blooms 
be produced in large numbers, and that the bush 
on which the blooms are borne be vigorous with 
clean, disease-resistant foliage. The varieties 
which we have chosen for the "Old Adobe" collec¬ 
tion have all these desirable characteristics. You 
will be thrilled by their vivid and unusual color¬ 
ing and grateful for the generous profusion of 
blooms produced by the strong, healthy plants. 
Mari Dot. H.T. (P. Dot, 1927) This rose challenges your attention 
by its remarkable vigor and beauty. Buds are reddish salmon-yellow 
opening to double blooms of brilliant salmon-pink overlaid with a 
faint coppery sheen. There is a luminous effect to the petalage 
that is usually found only in poppies and begonias. The plant 
grows very strongly and blooms through hot or cold weather. 
Foliage is very glossy and holly-like. 60c. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. H.T. (Mallerin, 1929) The most pro¬ 
fusely blooming yellow rose grown. Buds are small but exquisitely 
formed and of a dark orange-yellow that holds well. Bushes are 
compact with dark green, glossy, mildew-resistant foliage. A most 
satisfactory variety and one that has won many gold medals. 60c. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. H.T. (McGredy, 1929) For elegant, shapely 
buds, this beautiful rose cannot be surpassed. Buds are produced 
singly on strong slender stems. The color is a glowing combination 
of red, copper and orange changing to warm pink with gold suf¬ 
fusion as the flower ages. It combines exceptionally fine form with 
brilliant coloring and clean, healthy foliage. 60c.

In the last twenty years great progress has 
been made in rose breeding. So sweeping and far 
reaching are the improvements that practically 
all of the older roses have disappeared from com¬ 
merce. Each year we test many new varieties. 
Those that survive the rigid conditions imposed 
possess real merit.
