MARI DOT 
"OLD ADOBE 
Collection 
The three essential requirements of a good rose 
are that the blooms be beautiful, that the blooms be 
produced in large numbers, and that the bush on 
which the blooms are borne be vigorous with clean, 
disease-resistant foliage. The varieties which we have 
chosen for the ‘ ‘ Old Adobe ’ ’ collection have all these 
desirable characteristics. 
They will start flowering with tulips in spring and 
continue to supply lovely blooms with the chrysan¬ 
themums in autumn. They are easy to grow and will 
be found most satisfactory both for garden decora¬ 
tion and for cutting. 
Mari Dot. H.T. (1927) This rose challenges attention by its 
remarkable vigor and beauty. Our admiration for it increases 
each year. Bushes in our test garden are almost constantly 
in bloom from April to November regardless of weather con¬ 
ditions. Growth though somewhat sprawling is extremely 
vigorous producing many long canes; the whole plant being 
well covered with glossy, holly-like foliage. Buds are red¬ 
dish salmon opening to double blooms of brilliant salmon 
pink overlaid with a coppery sheen. There is a luminous 
effect to the petalage that is usually found only in poppies 
and begonias. 60c. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. H.T. (1929) Everyone likes this va¬ 
riety for its cheerful profusion of bloom. It is an extremely 
easy variety to grow, the dark green, glossy foliage being 
almost immune to mildew. In color it is a dark orange- 
yellow. Buds are small but beautifully formed. A most 
satisfactory variety and one that has won many gold medals.

Mrs. Sam McGredy. H.T. (1929) This lovely rose is gaining 
steadily in popularity entirely on its merit. For elegant, 
shapely buds it cannot be surpassed; practically every flower 
is perfect. Buds are produced singly on strong, slender stems. 
The color is a glowing combination of red, copper and orange 
changing to warm pink with golden suffusion as flowers age. 
The clear bronze color of the new foliage gives the plants 
unusual beauty in early spring before the appearance of 
flowers. 75c.
