DUCHESS OF ATHOL 
PLANTING 
SUGGESTIONS 
When planting a rose garden the 
best effect is obtained by planting 
three or more bushes of a variety. 
The concentration of color gives 
character to your garden. When cut¬ 
ting blooms for indoor decoration it 
is a great convenience to be able to 
gather a large number of one kind. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE 
Cecile Brunner. Poly. The best known 
and most popular baby rose for garden 
purposes. Small, long-pointed buds with 
daintily reflexed petals; flowers double, 
bright pink with touch of gold at base 
of petals; slightly fragrant, borne in 
large, loose clusters on long, strong 
stems. A continuous bloomer. 50c. 
Chas. P. Kilham. H.T. Coppery-pink. 
(Described on page 37.) 50c. 
♦Comtesse Vandal. H.T. (1932) This 
new European rose is the sensation of 
the year, having taken five European 
Gold Medals. The long pointed buds are 
of coral and salmon suffused with gold. 
Patented. $1.00. 
♦Condesa de Sastago. (1933) The bril¬ 
liant colors of this new rose from sunny 
Spain will win your admiration. Inside 
of petals rosy-red, reverse golden-yel¬ 
low. It likes heat, doing its best in mid¬ 
summer. Growth of plant much like 
Margaret McGredy. (Illustrated in color 
on page 35.) 75c. 
Crested Moss. In addition to their senti¬ 
mental appeal, the old-fashioned moss 
*Diane de Broglie. (1929) Shapely buds 
of coral opening to fully double flowers 
of dark salmon-pink. Texture of petals 
good; foliage glossy. 50c. 
♦Director Rubio. H.T. (1928) This rose 
is “different.” The large, thick petals 
are interspersed with short curled ones 
which give the flower a peony-like form. 
The color is warm, rich pink in the open 
bloom and dark carmine in the bud. 
Flowers are borne on strong stiff stems. 
50c. 
Duchess of Athol. H.T. (1928) The 
coloring of this rose when open is like 
that of a beautifully ripened peach. 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. 50c. 
♦Duchess of Montrose. (1929) This new 
rose produced some of the most beauti¬ 
ful buds we have ever seen. Color is 
dark, velvety red; flowers fully double 
and above the average in form and size 
75c. 
roses have delightful fragrance. This 
variety has beautiful buds opening to 
very double dark rose flowers. 50c. 
Cuba. H.T. Brilliant orange-scarlet 
buds of great length which open to 
large, almost single flowers of Vermil¬ 
lion and orange. A gorgeous bedding 
rose. 50c. 
“Daily Mail.” (See Mme. Edouard Her- 
riot) 50c. 
Dainty Bess. H.T. Single pink. (De¬ 
scribed on page 38.) 50c. 
Dame Ddith 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. (See il¬ 
lustration in color on page 37.) 50c. 
♦Dazla. H.T. (1930) Brownish-orange 
changing to orange-scarlet. Semi-single 
bedding variety of striking brilliance. 
50c. 
♦Duquesa de Penaranda. (1931) Whether 
in bud or fully opened flower this rose is 
gloriously beautiful. Buds are orange 
and open to fully double blooms of 
golden peach shades. A very vigorous 
grower with glossy, disease resistant 
foliage. (Illustrated in color on page 
35). $1.00. 
♦Edith Nellie Perkins. H.T. (1928) A 
rose of exquisite charm and distinction. 
Buds are somewhat like those of Los 
Angeles but of better form and held 
more upright. The color holds sharply 
contrasting tints of salmon-pink and 
cerise-orange. Especially lovely when 
placed singly in a bud vase. 50c.
