*Editor McFarland. H.T. (1931) Long buds of solid, glow¬ 
ing pink; flowers semi-double; slightly fragrant. Of Radiance 
type but much better. 60c. 
E. G. Hill. H.T. (1929) This is the most unfading of all 
red roses; the color remaining brilliant scarlet under hot 
sun. Flowers are fully double and unusually long lasting 
when cut. Blooms are produced singly on long stems which 
make it ideal for cutting. A very profuse bloomer even dur¬ 
ing the cold days of late autumn. (Illustrated in color on 
page 37). 50c. 
Else Poulsen. Poly. This semi-double, rose-pink Polyantha 
is increasingly popular as a hedge rose. Flowers are very 
lasting and quite fragrant. Not so susceptible to mildew as 
the more double, dwarf varieties. Grows 24 to 30 inches 
high. 50c. 
Etoile de Hollande. H.T. (1919) A brilliant red rose with 
beautiful oval buds which open to glorious, large blooms 
that hold their color in strong sunlight, never showing bluish 
tints. More resistant to mildew than other red roses. 50c. 
Feu Joseph Looymans. H.T. (1922) Remarkable 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 
exceptionally well. Very resistant to mildew. 50c. 
♦Frederico Casas. (1929) This outstanding fine rose was ad¬ 
mired by all who visited our test gardens. It is best de¬ 
scribed as being larger, darker and stronger growing than 
Talisman. It will be a permanent addition to the list of 
worthwhile roses. (See illustration in color on page 35.) 75c. 
F. K. Druschki. H.P. Outer petals of buds occasionally 
tinged with pink; open blooms pure white, large and moder¬ 
ately full. Flowers are produced on long vigorous canes. 
Foliage abundant but rough in texture. An old favorite 
because of its hardiness and vigorous growth. 50c. 
Rose Garden of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Brown, Atherton, Calif. 
Our landscape department designed this charming little 
rose garden for Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Photograph was 
taken 18 months after planting was completed. A suitable 
background and the blending or massing of colors effec¬ 
tively adds much to the success of any planting. 
General MacArthur. H.T. Bright scarlet, large and full, 
very sweet scented; buds usually borne on long, stout stems 
with beautiful foliage. An ideal rose for cutting. 50c. 
*Golden Dawn. H.T. (1929) Sunflower-yellow buds tipped 
and streaked with crimson. The fully double blooms of 
Marechal Niel yellow are sometimes lightly marked with 
pink on the outer petals and are borne erect on strong stems. 
The best pale yellow rose for California gardens. 50c. 
Buy only No. 1 grade rose bushes 
that will bloom abundantly the first 
year. They will give you more flowers 
at less cost per flower than roses of 
lighter grade. Every “ Roeding’s Qual¬ 
ity ■” Rose is No. 1 Grade. 
Golden Emblem. H.T. (1917) Large, perfectly 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 yellow rose for outdoor growing. 50c. 
*Grenoble. H.T. (1932) A majestic new rose of brilliant 
red. Tall growing with lovely buds on long stems. 60c. 
Hadley. H.T. Flowers rich crimson with velvety texture, 
of good shape, size and substance; very sweetly scented. A 
very good rose for cutting. 50c.

WATERING ROSES 
In watering roses it is best to 
let the water run slowly into a 
basin dug around the bush. 
Water roses preferably in the 
morning; never wet the foliage 
in late evening. A good mulch of 
rotted manure or peat moss is of 
assistance in retaining soil 
moisture in summer. Where a 
mulch is used, very little sum¬ 
mer cultivation is required ex¬ 
cept an occasional stirring of the 
mulch to prevent its packing. 
FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS 
Hinrich Gaede. (1931) Without doubt 
the best rose introduced in the past 
four years. Color is rosy copper with 
brilliant orange tones which hold until 
the last petal drops. Buds are extra 
large, of good form and usually borne 
singly on very long, strong stems. It 
blooms freely and the dark glistening 
foliage is very resistant to mildew. You 
cannot pass this rose without exclaim¬ 
ing over its unusual beauty. (See illus¬ 
tration in color on outside front cover.)
