MATADOR ht. 
(G. A. van Rossem, 1935 ) 
Plant Patent applied for 
Nowadays a new red Rose must be 
quite superior to attract the attention of 
a critical jury, and Matador did it. When 
exhibited in European shows, it was 
hailed the greatest red Rose in years. 
Our tests have confirmed the opinion and 
further proved it well adapted to south¬ 
ern conditions. Large, full 
Rose, well formed, scarlet- 
crimson with darker silky sheen 
on the reverse, very fragrant. 
Vigorous, healthy plant. $1.50 
each, $15.00 per doz.

able bloomer. $1.50 each, $15.00 per

MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT 
HT. (C Mallerin, 1929) 
Here is a splendid golden yellow 
Rose which is the finest of its color 
for garden use. The well-shaped, 
golden yellow flowers resemble 
those of the lovely old Mme. 
Butterfly in form. Plant is com¬ 
pact and leafy, growing about 2]/^ 
feet high, and blooms with un¬ 
ceasing abundance throughout 
entire season. We regard it very 
highly. 60 cts. each, $6.00 per 
doz.

A descendant of Sensation and Souv. de

$6.00 per doz.

Mrs. Pierre 
S. du Pont 
“You may remember that last fall I sent for some Roses from you and told you at the same time that I did not believe that 
southern-grown Roses were able to grow and stand the New England winters. My apologies. Your Roses were put into the ground 
the day before Christmas, and that is very late here, and immediately there started the most severe winter there has been for 
over seventy years, with the thermometer going 20 and 30 degrees below zero. I thought that I would lose all my established 
Roses and never gave the southern Roses a chance, but to my surprise they all lived and are doing as well as the others. Again 
my apologies and congratulations. Be sure to send me your Catalog this year.” Edward W. Burt, M.D., New Bedford, Mass.
