“THE BEST IN ROSES” 
Novelties 
SOUTHPORT (McGredy 1934) $1.50 
A very brilliant scarlet with a delightful sheen 
which is maintained until the petals drop. This 
new rose we have watched through two seasons 
and it is all that it is claimed to be. The bud is 
long, pointed, and opens to a full, cupped, frag¬ 
rant flower. It is an exceptionally prolific bloom¬ 
er. The bush is a strong grower with dark red¬ 
dish green foliage quite free of disease although 
it does mildew slightly in unfavorable locations. 
One of the best red roses of recent years. High¬ 
ly recommended. 
AMBASSADOR (Premier Rose Co. 1930) $ .75 
A sport of Talisman that is a great favorite. A bud 
with the same form as Talisman but having a uni¬ 
form bronzy-salmon color. Foliage and type of 
growth same as Talisman. A profuse bloomer and 
fragrant. Excellent as a cut flower. 
AMELIA EARHART (Raymond 1933) $1.50 
A very large, extremely double fragrant flower of 
light yellow shading to cream. An exceptionally 
prolific grower with large dark green leathery, 
disease resistant foliage. Stems are long and strong. 
A fine cut flower. 
COUNTESS OF SASTASO 
(Pedro Dot. 1932) $1.00 
The best description that can be given this rose is 
to call it a double Austrian Copper. The flower is a 
deep reddish copper on the inside of the petals and 
a deep yellow on the outside; moderately large, 
double, fragrant rose and borne on long strong 
stems. The bush is an exceptionally strong upright 
grower with an abundance of thick, leathery, glossy 
foliage that is quite free of disease. The bush itself 
is an ornament without flowers. 
COUNTESS VANDAL (Leenders 1932) $1.00 
One of the excellent roses of recent introduction 
that has come to stay. After being tried it is ful¬ 
filling all expectations. A continuous bloomer with 
exceptionally long slender buds of silvery pink 
shaded with coppery-salmon and yellow at the base 
of the petals. Countess Vandal has been one of the 
main attractions of the shows this year. The only 
fault we can find with it is that it mildews slightly.
