RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, continued 
Mary Hart. Plant Patent No. 8. A sport 
of the well-known Talisman, with maroon- 
red buds opening to well-formed blooms 
of blood-red, with overglow of amber. It 
is better than Talisman as a producer, with 
sturdier stems and is a strong grower. 
2-year plants, $1.25 each; $12 per doz. 
Mrs. J. D. Eisele. Plant Patent No. 67. 
Flowers are from 5 to 6 inches in diameter 
and have exceptional keeping qualities, cut 
blooms lasting fully a week in good con¬ 
dition; remarkably fragrant. Strong, 
vigorous grower; continuous bloomer. In 
color, an exquisite shade of cherry-rose, 
overlaid with a scarlet glow, tipped with a 
unique, faint, silvery lacing. $1.25 each; 
$12 per doz. 
Souvenir. Plant Patent No. 25. This is a 
golden yellow Talisman. One of the love¬ 
liest of Roses. Its bloom is a rich golden 
yellow, and it is a prolific producer of fra¬ 
grant flowers. 2-year plants, $1 each; 
$10 per doz. 
William Orr. Deep velvety crimson flower 
with outer portion of petals lighter; very 
large, full and finely formed. $1.75 each. 
Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Roses 
Blaze. Plant Patent No. 10. This Rose has 
every element to insure its success, for it 
combines the vigor, beauty, and hardiness 
of Paul’s Scarlet Climber with the ever- 
blooming qualities of a favorite everbloom- 
ing Rose. Blaze received the 1933 Certifi¬ 
cate of Merit at Bagatelle Gardens, France, 
the highest award given a Climber. $1.75 
each; $18 per doz. 
Golden Climber (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss 
James). Plant Patent No. 28. A depar¬ 
ture in yellow Climbing Roses. It combines 
extreme hardiness with blooms of Hybrid 
Tea type and quality that hold their color. 
Flowers usually come solitary on strong 
stems often 18 inches or more long. Golden 
Climber has fragrance, so much lacking in 
our newer Roses of today. It is able to 
withstand sub-zero temperatures and 
“stays put” anywhere. $2 each; $20 
per doz.

pink flowers.

rosy crimson flowers.

Hybrid Perpetual or June Roses

dance of bloom in June and grow much taller 
than the Everblooming Roses; for this reason

hardiest of all Roses. 
Extra-strong, field-grown, dormant plants, 
90 cts. each; $9 per doz. April delivery
