Roses 
The very name of roses carries with it the suggestion of the greatest perfection and 
beauty of the world of vegetation. No arrangement is satisfactory that neglects them, in 
fact they are indispensable. The stock we offer is all field-grown, acclimated to the out¬ 
door life and will make much quicker and more hardy growth than the greenhouse plants 
offered by rose specialists. 
Hardy Everblooming Varieties 
brilliant in effect. This is the finest yellow 
rose in cultivation and pleases everyone who 
sees it. Many grow it in preference to White 
American Beauty and other leading roses. It 
puts all the yellows to sleep when it comes to 
bedding in the garden.

Los Angeles—We consider ourselves very for¬ 
tunate in having been able to secure a num¬ 
ber of this sensational new rose. It is describ¬ 
ed by various rose growers as the finest all¬ 
round rose ever introduced. The stems are long 
and stout, and in growth resembles the Ameri¬ 
can Beauty. Its very large and attractive flow¬ 
ers, freedom and continuous blooms, make it a 
most remarkable sort. It is described as shin¬ 
ing with translucent gold at the base of petals, 
but its beautiful flame-pink color underneath 
the petals with its distinctly different coloring 
on the face of the petals from cream to a taint¬ 
ed streak of yellow with a slight gold-like or 
coppery coloring at the base of the petals, seems 
to us to be a better description of its beautiful 
flowers which appear on the plants. A most at¬ 
tractive rose and should be included in every 
collection.
