The NILES DOZEN . . . 
Feu Joseph Looymans. H.T. (1922) Re¬ 
markable for the length and beautiful form 
of its apricot-colored buds and also for its 
unusually bright, glistening foliage. The 
open blooms of golden buff are quite full 
and hold their color exceptionally well. Very 
resistant to mildew. (See illustration in 
color on page 31.) 50c. 
Golden Emblem. H.T. (1917) Large, 
perfectly formed buds of brilliant yellow 
striped with crimson on the outer petals. 
The blooms open slowly and are dark golden 
yellow. By far the best clear yellow rose for 
outdoor growing. (See illustration in color 
on page 31.) 50c. 
In this popular collection we are again offering the same varieties as last year since we believe that 
in the average garden these sorts will be found most generallv satisfactorv. At the low price of $4.85 
(about 40 cents per bush) this is our greatest rose bargain. All bushes are our number one grade, two 
year budded plants. 
Angele Pernet. H.T. (1924) None of the 
most recently introduced roses can equal 
Angele in intensity of coloring. Buds are 
deep, flaming orange, opening to semi-double 
blooms of brilliant reddish apricot. Petals 
are beautifully notched and frilled. Foliage 
is glossy and remarkably free from mildew. 
50c. 
Chas. P. Kflham. H.T. (1926) Buds are 
unusually long and slender with high-pointed 
centers. As the orange-red buds slowly open 
they disclose shades of oriental red and rosy 
orange. When open the blooms are fully 
double with long, slightly quilled petals of 
dark coppery rose. Although a very pro¬ 
fuse bloomer, the stems are long and strong. 
(See illustration in color on page 29.) 50c. 
Dainty Bess. H.T. (1925) A broad petalled 
single with fimbriated edges. Slender, 
rosy-salmon buds open to pale rose blooms. 
The large cluster of wine-colored stamens 
adds a distinctive touch to this charming 
flower. 50c. 
Dame Edith Helen. H.T. (1926) Wonder¬ 
ful pointed buds which open very slowly to 
large, perfectly formed blooms. The color is 
an even shade of brilliant pink. Very 
fragrant. Best results are obtained from 
this rose if it is pruned lightly into a tall bush. 
(See illustration in color on page 29. 50c. 
E. G. Hill. H.T. (1929) This is the most 
unfading of all red roses; the color remaining 
brilliant scarlet under hot sun. Flowers are 
fully double and unusually long lasting when 
cut. Blooms are produced singly on long 
stems which make it ideal for cutting. A 
very profuse bloomer even during the cold 
days of late autumn. 50c. 
Etoiie de Hollande. H.T. (1919) A 
brilliant red rose with beautiful oval buds 
which open to glorious .large blooms that 
hold their color in strong sunlight, never 
showing bluish tints. More resistant to 
mildew than other red roses. (See illustra¬ 
tion in color on page 30.) 50c. 
lighter with sunset shades of gold and 
apricot-yellow. Joanna is one of our 
favorites. (See illustration in color on page 
31.) 50c. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. H.T. (1927) A 
gorgeous rose which we like better each year. 
The long, high-centered buds of orange- 
yellow are veined and splashed with scarlet 
and the reverse of the petals is streaked with 
orange and carmine. Lady Margaret likes 
hot weather and the color is most intense in 
summer; spring blossoms are sometimes 
rather pale. (See illustration in color on 
page 33.) 50c. 
President Herbert Hoover. H.T. (1930) 
The buds, borne upright on long, strong 
stems, are long and pointed. The inner side 
of the outer petals is dark pink and rose, the 
reverse side is orange streaked with red; the 
center petals are shaded salmon and apricot. 
It is very fragrant and an exceptionally 
vigorous grower. 50c. 
Talisman. H.T. (1929) The coloring is 
most unusual, being a combination of gold, 
apricot, pink and carmine in mingled 
splashes, streaks and blends. It has fra¬ 
grance equal to Mme. Butterfly and blooms 
as profusely as Mme. Edouard Herriot. 
For greatest satisfaction the flowers should 
be cut in the tight-bud stage. (See illustra¬ 
tion in color on page 35.) 50c.

Joanna Hill. H.T. (1928) The texture of 
petals is not injured by cold, foggy weather 
or scorching sun. The exquisitely formed, 
long buds areof apricot with just a suggestion 
of bronze. The open blooms are somewhat
