Imperial Potentate —This new Rose was awarded 
the Gold Medal by the City of Portland for the 
best bush rose shown and the Silver Trophy of the 
Portland Chamber of Commerce for the best rose 
produced in 1923 on the Pacific Coast. I would call 
the color orange vermillion, although frequently 
cataloged as pink. Deliciously scented. 75 cents 
each. 
Joanna Hill —This new orange yellow rose of vigor¬ 
ous upright growth is rapidly becoming a favorite 
with the rose growing public. It is an easy rose to 
grow, of free blooming habit and has resistant 
foliage free from disease. Described by many as an 
improved Mrs. Aaron Ward. Certainly the best 
yellow rose of its color. See cut page 8. 75 cents 
each. 
Jonkheer J. L. Mock —One of the best bedding 
roses and at its best in a dry hot season. In a wet 
season the buds do not all open well. The color is 
a deep Imperial Pink, reverse Silvery Rose White. 
75 cents each. 
Jules Gaujard —Crimson flowers opening into a 
pretty shade of orange rose. Extra upright branch¬ 
ing habit. 75 cents each. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria—H. T. —The ideal bud 
and open flower, possessing that beautiful spiral 
formation with reflex petals. The flower is very 
full and always perfect. Color, creamy white, 
tinted yellow. Strong magnolia-like fragrance. Ex¬ 
cellent foliage. 75 cents each. 
Kilarney Queen— A decided advance over its par¬ 
ent not only in color and growth, but is immune 
to mildew. No garden is complete without this 
rose. 75 cents each. 
Lady Alice Stanley —Outside of petals deep coral 
rose, inside pale flesh. Elegant large full flowers 
carried on rigid stems and sweetly perfumed. A 
very reliable rose and highly recommended. 75 
cents each. 
Lady Ashtown —Rich silver pink, very double 
blooms with high pointed center and splendid 
shape. Free flowering and a good bedding variety. 
The flowers keep splendidly before and after cut¬ 
ting and is quite an aristocrat. 75 cents each. 
Lady Inchiquin —Orange-cerise frilled flowers. A 
rose of distinctive color and universally admired 
abroad. Holds up well in hot weather. 75 cents 
each. 
Lady Margaret Stewart (1927)- —Another marvel¬ 
ous introduction of Alex. Dickson & Sons, awarded 
the Gold Medal of National Rose Society of 
England. The color quite unique deep sunflower 
yellow veined and splashed with orange scarlet. 
75 cents each. See cut outside back cover. 
Lady Ursula — Extremely Vigorous —The strongest 
growing Rose of the Hybrid Tea Family. The 
flowers are flesh pink, with pointed buds which 
beautifully reflex and the plant is always in bloom. 
In my opinion the most satisfactory Rose of its 
color, and one that always does well, even under 
adverse conditons. 75 cents each. 
Los Angeles —One of our most beautiful roses, but 
unfortunately nurserymen have budded this var¬ 
iety on the wrong understock, notably multiflora. 
We bud it upon Ragged Robin and it universally 
does well. We have dozens of testimonials from 
customers to the effect that our plants of this 
variety are the first they have successfully grown. 
This variety 75 cents each. 
Lord Charlemont —This rose fills a want in a free 
flowering, perfectly shaped variety. The color is a 
clear crimson, deepening to a carmine crimson. 
The blooms are full, very long and pointed, ideal 
for all purposes, bedding, massing, etc. It is a 
good doer. A very superb distinct rose. 75 cents 
each. See back cover. 
PERFUME 
The fragrance of Roses is due to the presence of 
an extremely volatile oil. As the temperature grows 
cooler the plants begin to generate this oil faster than 
the sun can evaporate it. The oil is least volatile in 
the cool of early morning, but as the day warms 
fragrance becomes apparent. By forenoon the sun 
is again evaporating the oil just as fast as the plant 
can supply it, result—little or no perfume until 
evening. Roses cut and brought indoors have a con¬ 
stant fragrance. 
Madame Butterfly —A glorified Ophelia. The 
growth is exceptionally good and the flowers all 
open perfectly, even in'wet weather. In color, we 
find Flesh, Cream, Salmon and Yellow. A de¬ 
pendable rose of great substance. 75 cents each. 
See cut outside back cover. 
Mme. Alex Dreux —A fascinating colored rose, with 
a mixture of yellow and orange, really a tango 
color. Sharply reflexed petals, high centered, suit¬ 
able for front row planting as it is a stocky grower. 
75 cents each. 
Madame Edouard Herriot —Also known as the 
Daily Mail Rose that was the talk of Europe a 
few years ago. Its color is unique in the extreme, 
described as “Coral Red, shaded with Yellow and 
bright Rose Scarlet.” A wonderful combination of 
hues. 75 cents each. See cut outside back cover. 
Madame Jules Bouche —Full pearly white Cam- 
elia-like flowers, shaded blush. Superb in Autumn. 
A dependable rose of great substance. 75 cents 
each. See cut outside back cover. 
Madame Leon Pain —A truly worth while garden 
Rose. In color, Silver Flesh shaded deep Orange. 
Its habit is quite branching and universally does 
well. 75 cents each. 
Margaret McGredy —The first rose raised by the 
celebrated Irish Hybridists to carry the family 
name. A high class bedding rose, absolutely hardy, 
fine upright grower with persistent foliage, pro¬ 
ducing all through the season beautiful brilliant 
scarlet blooms overlaid with orange vermillion. 
Everybody speaks well of Margaret. A truly 
sterling rose, fine for cold sections. 75 cents each. 
One of my favorites.
