THESE TWELVE ROSES AS LISTED FOR ONLY - - $ 5.00 
TALISMAN. The Rose of many Gold Medals. It is the most remarkable piece of coloring that we 
know in any Rose; a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old-rose. The out¬ 
side of the petals is bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower develops and the petals unfold they become 
bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old rose. The bud is long, perfectly 
formed, averaging about 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong, vigorous 
grower with glossy green foliage and free flowering. 
E. G. HILL. New. Great massive blooms of deep maroon, velvety on in¬ 
side and glistening outside ; very perfumed. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. Long shapely buds, with petals of great 
substance, color an intense saffron-yellow stained deep crimson, delight¬ 
fully fragrant and very free flowering. 
ROSLYN. Were M. Pernet-Ducher living he would call this new yellow 
Rose the greatest development of his strain of which for many years Souve¬ 
nir de Claudius Pernet was the perfected standard. Roslyn has more life, 
more sheen, deeper tones, and its yellow is less vanishing. While of the same 
petalage, the center does not become sinister. The plant is good, of regular 
blooming habit, with a healthy holly foliage. Its long-pointed buds on stiff 
stems picked in the morning make beautiful bouquets, lasting for days. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. The one red Rose, so soft and subdued by 
the depth of its velvet that it harmonizes with any other color—even blue. 
Crimson running up to maroon and emitting a most exhilirating true Rose 
perfume. Flowers rather large but not “cabbagy,” on long, strong stems for 
cutting. Plants hardy, with olive-green foliage extremely resistant to any 
Rose trouble. The red Rose for everybody, everywhere. 
Roslyn. 
EDITH NELLIE PERKINS. 
Another Rose the name of which 
is a warranty of quality, as this 
lady is the wife of the head of the 
great international Rose-growing 
family, and no mediocrity would 
do for such a person. Handsome, 
long-pointed bud of rich copper, 
opening to a moderately double 
large flower, salmon-pink flushed 
orange, while the reverse is deep 
copper shaded orange. Splendid 
cut-flower variety on long stem, 
very lasting in water. The bush 
very vigorous, and is handsome 
even when all the blooms have 
been cut for bouquets. (Hybrid 
Tea. A Dickson, 1928).
