Dependable Garden Roses 
By all means have Roses in your garden—Roses to cut and bring indoors where they may be enjoyed 
more intimately. 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a soil that will grow good vegetables, and 
reasonable care will produce surprisingly good blossoms from June until late October. No flower approaches 
the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its appeal as a cut-flower. 
Many new varieties have been added in recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time 
making it possible to select varieties that can be grown without too much cultural attention. The beginner, 
however, will do well to consult one of the many good books available, such as “How to Grow Roses” or 
“The Rose in America.” 
A word about our Rose plants. It is generally agreed that Hybrid Tea Roses on their own roots, that is, 
grown from cuttings, lack sturdiness and vigor and are not as free in flowering as those budded on the stronger 
roots of a more vigorous type. We believe the Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, 
fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New England conditions. With few exceptions, 
our plants are grown on this stock, hardier and more permanent than the majority of Roses which are grown 
in the West but make a softer, more rapid, but less sturdy growth. 
For the convenience of prospective customers, we have starred varieties that can be recommended 
for good all-round garden qualities 
Choice Newer Varieties 
*Better Times. Plant Patent No. 23. Very large, full, 
double flowers of a brilliant cerise-red color that is 
altogether distinct. On the order of Briarcliff but 
finer in color and more luxuriant in growth. Ex¬ 
tremely free, producing deliciously fragrant flow¬ 
ers on long, straight stems. $1.50 each. 
Crimson Glory. Plant Patent No. 105. For depth of 
color and good habit of growth this is, in our 
opinion, the best crimson Rose. Lovely in the bud 
form, it opens to a large, perfectly shaped flower, 
deep crimson in color with a velvety sheen which 
adds a quality of richness that is different from any 
other Rose in this color. Growth is branching but 
symmetrical and the plant is quite free in flower¬ 
ing. $1.50 each. 
*Coun!ess Vandal. Plant Patent No. 38. This new 
Rose has been a consistent medal-winner in 
Europe. It is a lovely blending of bronze, coppery 
salmon, and gold. The long-pointed buds develop 
into large, sweetly perfumed flowers, always re¬ 
taining their excellent form. Very free and 
vigorous. A grand Rose for cutting. $1 each. 
*Luis Brinas. Plant Patent No. 102. One of the 
finest Elybrid Tea Roses ever introduced. Fine, 
pointed buds of orange-copper open slowly, the 
petals curling back, making a starry flower with a 
high center. The flower lasts a long time in this 
condition and gradually a lovely shade of pink 
overspreads the copper and orange, making a new 
rose-color. When fully open, the color is soft old- 
rose, flushed with gold. Delightfully mild fra¬ 
grance. A vigorous, free-growing plant, upright in 
habit, with bronze new foliage. Gold Medal, 
Bagatelle, 1932; First Class Certificate, National 
Rose Society Trial-Grounds, 1932; Gold Medal, 
Saverne, 1933. $1.50 each. 
Nigrette (The Black Rose of Sangerhausen). Plant 
Patent No. 87. Much publicity has been given 
this variety because it is, undoubtedly, the darkest 
Rose so far introduced. The color varies some¬ 
what throughout the season—crimson-maroon, at 
times shading to almost black under perfect con¬ 
ditions, when this color is retained for a long period. 
Flowers are of medium size, very fragrant, and are 
produced freely. The unique color will appeal to 
those who like novelty. $2 each. 
Symphony (Pink Frau Karl Druschki). Plant Patent 
No. 79. An everblooming Hybrid Perpetual, bear¬ 
ing handsome, massive, perfect flowers, often 6 
inches in diameter, on stout, sturdy stems. The 
buds are blush-pink, opening to pale rose, deep 
pink in the center of the flower, shading white to 
the edges. Open flowers are full, symmetrical in 
shape. A truly magnificent Rose. $1.50 each. 
*Vivid Mason. Plant Patent No. 52. A truly re¬ 
markable Rose with the red color-play of Olympiad 
but so free in flowering and growth that there is 
no comparison. The flower is of perfect form, 
delightfully fragrant, rich Oriental red in color, 
with a blending of orange that makes accurate 
description difficult. Splendid, erect growth and 
healthy dark green foliage. Be sure to add this 
beautiful garden Rose to your collection. $1.50 
each.
