THE NILES DOZEN 
This collection of roses has given our customers 
such good results that we are offering it again this 
season. We are confident it will be found satisfactory 
in the average garden. Although you may already 
have some of the varieties in your garden you will 
find it an advantage to have two or more bushes of 
your favorites. 
We consider this is our greatest rose bargain. All 
bushes are our number one grade, two-year budded 
plants. 
Angele Pernet. H.T. (1924) None of the 
most recently introduced roses can equal 
Angele in intensity of coloring. Buds are 
deep, flaming orange, opening to semi¬ 
double blooms of brilliant reddish apri¬ 
cot. Petals are beautifully notched and 
frilled. Foliage is glossy and remark¬ 
ably free from mildew. 50c. 
Chas. P. Kilham. H.T. (1926) Buds are 
unusually long and slender with high- 
pointed centers. As the orange-red buds 
slowly open they disclose shades of 
oriental red and rosy orange. When open 
the blooms are fully double with long, 
slightly quilled petals of dark coppery 
rose. (See illustration in color on page 
39.) 50c. 
Dame Edith Helen. H.T. (1926) Won¬ 
derful pointed buds which open very 
slowly to large, perfectly formed 
blooms. The color is an even shade of 
brilliant pink. Very fragrant. Best re¬ 
sults are obtained from this rose if it is 
pruned lightly into a tall bush. 50c. 
Duchess of Athol. H.T. (1928) The large, 
globular buds are bronzy orange; the 
thick-petalled, double flowers of apricot 
and gold flushed with rose are borne in 
great profusion. Foliage is dark bronzy 
green and remarkably mildew-proof. We 
like it very much. (See illustration in 
color on page 40.) 50c. 
E. G. Hill. H.T. (1929) This is the most 
unfading of all red roses; the color re¬ 
maining brilliant scarlet under hot sun. 
Flowers are fully double and unusually 
long lasting when cut. Blooms are pro¬ 
duced singly on long stems which make 
it ideal for cutting. A very profuse 
bloomer even during the cold days of 
late autumn. 50c. 
Etoile de Hollande. H.T. (1919) A bril¬ 
liant red rose with beautiful oval buds 
which open to glorious, large blooms 
that hold their color in strong sunlight, 
never showing bluish tints. More resis¬ 
tant to mildew than other red roses. 
(See illustration in color on page 40.) 
50c. 
Peu Joseph Looymans. H.T. (1922) Re¬ 
markable for the length and beautiful 
form of its apricot-colored buds and 
also for its unusually bright, glistening 
foliage. The open blooms of golden buff 
are quite full and hold their color excep¬ 
tionally well. Very resistant to mildew. 
(See illustration in color on page 41.) 
50c. 
Golden Emblem. H.T. (1917) Large, per¬ 
fectly formed buds of brilliant yellow 
striped with crimson on the outer petals. 
The blooms open slowly and are dark 
golden yellow. By far the best clear yel¬ 
low rose for outdoor growing. (See illus¬ 
tration in color on page 41.) 50c. 
Joanna Hill. H.T. (1928) The texture 
of petals is not injured by cold, foggy 
weather or scorching sun. The exquisite¬ 
ly formed, long buds are of apricot with 
just a suggestion of bronze. The open 
blooms are somewhat lighter with sun¬ 
set shades of gold and apricot-yellow. 
(See illustration in color on page 42.) 
50c. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. H.T. (1927). A 
gorgeous rose which we like better each 
year. The long, high-centered buds of 
orange-yellow are veined and splashed 
with scarlet and the reverse of the 
petals is streaked with orange and car¬ 
mine. Color is most intense in summer; 
spring blossoms are sometimes rather 
pale. (See illustration in color on page 
43.) 50c. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER 
President Herbert Hoover. H.T. (1930) 
The buds, borne upright on long, strong 
stems, are long and pointed. The inner 
side of the outer petals is dark pink and 
rose, the reverse side is orange streaked 
with red; the center petals are shaded 
salmon and apricot. It is very fragrant 
and an exceptionally vigorous grower. 
50c. 
Talisman. H.T. (1929) The coloring is 
most unusual, being a combination of 
gold, apricot, pink and carmine in min¬ 
gled splashes, streaks and blends. For 
greatest satisfaction the flowers should 
be cut in the tight-bud stage. (See illus¬ 
tration in color on page 45.) 50c.
