DUCHESS OF ATHOL 
WATERING ROSES 
In watering roses it is best to let 
(he water run s/owlg into a basin 
dug around the bush. If ater roses 
preferably in the morning never 
wet the foliage in late evening. A 
good mulch of rotted manure or 
peat moss is oj assistance in retain¬ 
ing soil moisture in summer. 
Where a mulch is used, very tittle 
summer cultivation is required ex¬ 
cept an occasional stirring oj the 
mulch to prevent its packing. 
Dame Edith Helen. H.T. Pink. Describ¬ 
ed on page 28. 50c. 
♦Dazla. H.T. (1930) Brownish-orange 
changing to orange-scarlet. Semi-single 
bedding variety of striking brilliance. 60c. 
*Diane de Broglie. (1929) Shapely buds 
of coral opening to fully double flowers of 
dark salmon-pink. Texture of petals good; 
foliage glossy. 60c. 
♦Director Rubio. H.T. (1928) This rose 
is “different.” The large, thick petals are 
interspersed with short curled ones which 
give the flower a peony-like form. The color 
is warm, rich pink in the open bloom and 
dark carmine in the bud. Flowers are borne 
on strong stiff stems. 50c. 
Duchess of Athol. H.T. (1928) The 
coloring of this rose when open is like that of 
a beautifully ripened peach. The large, 
globular buds are bronzy orange; the thick- 
petalled, double flowers of apricot and gold 
flushed with rose are borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. Foliage is dark bronzy green and 
remarkably mildew-proof. We like it very 
much. 50c. 
♦Editor McFarland. H.T. (1931) Long 
buds of solid, glowing pink; flowers semi¬ 
double; slightly fragrant. Of Radiance type 
but much better. 60c. 
E. G. Hill. H.T. Dark red. Described on 
page 28. 50c. 
Else Poulsen. Poly. This semi-double, 
rose-pink Polyantha is increasingly popular 
as a hedge rose. Flowers are very lasting 
and quite fragrant. Not so susceptible to 
mildew as the more double, dwarf varieties. 
Grows 24 to 30 inches high. 50c. 
Etoile de Hollande. H.T. Dark red. 
Described on page 28. 50c. 
*Evert Van Dyk. H.T. (G. A. Van Rossem. 
1931) This new Dutch rose has good form 
and excellent color to recommend it. Bright 
rose-pink just a shade softer than Dame 
Edith Helen; fully double and fairly fragrant. 
50c.

Described on page 28. 50c. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE 
♦Duchess of Montrose. (1929) This new 
rose produced some of the most beautiful 
buds we have ever seen. Color is dark, 
velvety red; flowers fully double and above 
the average in form and size. 75c. 
Duchess of Wellington. H.T. Saffron- 
yellow stained with rich crimson and chang¬ 
ing to coppery-yellow; fragrant. 50c. 
♦Duquesa da Penaranda. H.T. Orange. 
Described on page 27. 75c. 
♦Edith Nellie Perkins. H.T. (1928) A rose 
of exquisite charm and distinction. Buds are 
somewhat like those of Los Angeles but of 
better form and held more upright. The 
color holds sharply contrasting tints of 
salmon-pink and cerise-orange. Especially 
lovely when placed singly in a bud vase. 50c. 
All of these rose bushes are strong, two- 
year-old bushes. They will bloom well the 
first summer ajter planting. If hen order¬ 
ing roses in quantity (except on special 
collections such as The Old Adobe Col¬ 
lection, Niles Dozen, etc.) deduct a dis¬ 
count oj 10 per cent jor 10 to 25 roses; 20 
per cent Jor 26 roses or more. 
♦Frau Hugo Lauster. H.T. (1931) Long 
canary-yellow buds opening to fully double, 
slightly fragrant flowers. 60c. 
♦Frederico Casas. H.T. Pink and gold. 
Described on page 27. 60c. 
F. K. Druschki. H.P. Outer petals of buds 
occasionally tinged with pink; open blooms 
pure white, large and moderately full. An 
old favorite because of its hardiness and 
vigorous growth. 50c. 
General MacArthur. H.T. Bright scarlet, 
large and full, very sweet scented; buds 
usually borne on long, stout stems with 
beautiful foliage. An ideal rose for cutting. 
50c. 
♦Gloria Mundi. Poly. (1929) The brilliant 
orange-scarlet color of this new Polyantha 
makes it the leader in its class. Flowers are 
very double and lasting. Susceptible to 
mildew in some locations but dazzlingly 
beautiful when well grown. 50c.
