Carrie Jacobs Bond 
CARRIE JACOBS BOND (Patent applied for). 
Deep in the heart of the coral-rose flower 
flames a fire, casting over the long, shad¬ 
owed petals a warm, ruddy glow—a glow that 
fills the heart with comfort and cheer, like 
a lamp-lighted window where the road is 
lonesome and long. At times the satin pink 
petals are rippled and silvered, as the shim¬ 
mering surf under the rays of the sun. The 
rugged bush supports the bright coral-rose 
flowers on long shaft-like stems high above 
the sea-green foliage. Not only are the 
flowers glorious in color and form—in their 
fragrance mingles the freshness of moun¬ 
tains and sea. At twilight, when you come 
to the end of a perfect day and the lights 
and shadows of dusk have fused into night, 
the lovely rose “Carrie Jacobs Bond” will 
bloom again in the garden of your dreams.

CAROL HOWARD. p Ure( glowing rose-pink, 
a most pleasing color that will win favor ev¬ 
erywhere as a cut flower. The very large buds 
are long and pointed, opening to beautifully 
formed flowers with thick petals of fine sub¬ 
stance. Even when full-open the flowers are 
very attractive, of peony form, pleasantly 
sweet-scented. The long smooth stems, 
with few thorns, are one of the many de¬ 
sirable qualities of this rose which place it 
at the head of the list of deep pink varieties. 
The bush is vigorous, erect with large, dark 
r reen foliage, and is continuously in bloom.

GERMAIN'S ROSES 
A superlative list of new roses which we are introducing this year and others that were novelties 
of the past season. There are scores of new varieties each year and the Rose grower selects 
those sorts which fill a place in the Rose World. New colors, larger flowers, better habits of 
growth, a greater profusion of bloom, are all factors in the selective work. 
AVALON. 
The name is very descriptive of 
this novelty of 1936 in that it 
brings to mind the golden sunsets of our 
Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Cali¬ 
fornia. A sport of Duchess of Atholl it has 
the profuse blooming qualities, the perfectly 
shaped bud and open flower of its parent but 
in color it is a bright golden yellow heavily 
petaled and moderately fragrant. Glossy 
green foliage with a strong growing bush 
which is mildew resistant. An exquisite 
flower. $1.00.

A new color in Roses. The buds are a coral 
red, and as the blooms expand they develop 
a lovely shade of glowing pink, with coppery 
orange base. When fully open the flower is 
soft, old rose, flushed with gold. The blooms 
are large, full, and of good shape, with a 
faint “Tea” perfume. The stems are dark 
red, with few thorns and dark green foliage; 
mildew proof. In addition to the brilliant 
and pleasing tone of color, the extra-ordi¬ 
nary freedom and habit of growth is a spe¬ 
cial feature of this rose. $2.00.

unconventional. It forms a tall, rampant, 
untamed sort of bush which displays in

great abandon at all seasons, hot weather or 
cool, and has a most exotic perfume along 
with its other unusual qualities. $1.00.
