MRS. DUDLEY FULTON. 
This is technically 
a Polyantha, but 
actually it is a Hybrid in a class by itself. 
It was originated by the late Geo. C. 
Thomas, Jr., of Beverly Hills, and we con¬ 
sider it one of the finest and most valuable 
Rose novelties ever put on the market. The 
bush is covered during the spring, summer 
and fall with good-sized, single, silvery- 
white flowers which do not discolor, always 
dropping their petals cleanly before they 
fade, and they make the plant look like a 
small snowstorm. One of the most remark¬ 
able things about this Rose is the splendid 
evergreen foliage, which is always glossy 
as if varnished, and in California, at least, 
the foliage is just as attractive in the mid¬ 
dle of winter as in the summer. Therefore, 
it makes a splendid flowering evergreen 
shrub. $1.00. 
NIGRETTE. See color page "S”. 
PRINCE FELIX (de Luxembourg) 
rather large, of brilliant scarlet red. Tall, 
healthy plant of Radiance type. We are 
very much enthused over it as it seems des¬ 
tined to prove an outstanding red variety. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
RHEINGOLD (Plant Patent No. 138) 
Lasting, fragrant, double, golden yellow. The 
flower is about the size of Claudius Pernet. 
Free blooming, the yellow flowers form a 
pleasant contrast with the rather large 
feathery, light green foliage. $1.50. 
ROCHESTER (Plant Patent No. 131). 
Seedling of Rev. F. Page Roberts and Echo. 
A lovely constant flowering bedder of the 
Roberts type of growth and form of bud and 
flower, with the Echo freedom of bloom. 
The color of the bud is like Roberts, with 
more pronounced carmine markings on the 
reverse of the petals, with more blush in 
the open flower. Foliage heavy and disease- 
resistant—growth vigorous. Always in bloom 
it is sure to be a great garden favorite. 
$1.25. 
Crown of Jewels 
CROWN OF JEWELS (Patent Applied For). 
The plants are luxuriantly tapestried with 
rich, cloth-like foliage of deep jade-green. 
The coral flowers, torches of brilliant flame, 
of camellia size and camellia form are ruf¬ 
fled and rolled into coral mounds, round, 
smooth and clean. Under the light of a 
lamp the “Crown of Jewels’’ throws out 
beams and rays of gem-like beauty. Placed 
in the subdued light of a half darkened 
room, where the shades are drawn, the 
“Crown of Jewels” seems not the same 
Rose, but a celestial fantasy of rosy-lake, 
retaining only the camellia form. The 
"Crown of Jewels” will grow and thrive in 
any garden and every bloom will prove a 
living memory. $1.00. 
SIR HENRY SEGRAVE. b ,0 u "f-.

double flowers of a deep lemon yellow shad¬ 
ing deeper at base. Considered by many 
rosarians as the finest new rose in many 
years. $1.00.

lific bloomer at all times. Glossy foliage 
and resistant to diseases. A first-class 
novelty of great future. $1.25. 
SOUVENIR (Plant Patent No. 25) Oilman.” 
A golden Talisman of great beauty with all 
the fine qualities of Talisman from which 
it is a sport. An exquisite bud opening to 
a full flower of a splendid golden yellow, 
suffused at times with a slight flush of pink. 
A large full flower, heavily petaled, an even 
better grower than Talisman. $1.00. 
cmcam lOIIKF A rose hardly ever with- 
bUbAN LUUIbt. ou) . bloom. Long, slender, 
pointed buds of deep pink opening to large 
semi-double clear pink flowers produced in 
great profusion. An extraordinary vigor¬ 
ous grower reminding one of its distinctive 
parent, Belle of Portugal. A rose that has 
proven remarkably satisfactory whenever 
tried. $1.00. 
Heidekind 
H El DEKIND (Plant Patent No. 78). 
A veritable bouauet of bloom from Spring 
until late Fall—literally hundreds of flowers 
in bloom at one time. The flowers are a 
distinct new type, beautifully formed and 
double, 2 to 4 inches across. They are borne 
in great clusters on long-branched sprays; 
the whole spray may be cut, forming in it¬ 
self a lovely bouquet for floral decoration, 
or the individual flowers may be cut sep¬ 
arately for table use—you will find no end 
of attractive ways to use these charming 
blossoms. The color of the buds is brilliant 
coppery rose; the flowers as they open are 
glowing bright rose, changing as they de¬ 
velop to clear rose-pink so that one spray of 
flowers contains a wonderful blend of pink 
and rose shades. $1.00.

MRS. MABEL V. SOCHA (Patent Applied For) 
In color it is a pure, exquisite shade of 
lemon-yellow. The buds are of superb form, 
long and pointed, expanding into a flower of 
enormous size, well petaled and extremely 
fragrant. The fragrance is a most luscious 
tea odor, a qualification lacking in too many 
yellow Roses. $1.00. 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL (Patent Applied For) 
Among the numerous children of President 
Hoover (we mean the rose) this new sport 
bids fair to prove the most outstanding and 
has already been named to commemorate 
the great Texas Exposition being held this 
year. The same remarkably strong growth 
as Hoover, a profuse blooming variety and 
in color a rich luminous red without any 
other shadings. Really an excellent rose.

TOKEN (Plant Patent No. 95) 5J h ° p p h e e J 
bud. The full, double flowers are a single- 
toned glowing orange—an unique color. It 
is a free bloomer and has an upright growth 
in the garden. The flowers are very lasting 
and are pleasing at all stages. The glossy 
foliage is disease-resistant. $1.50. 
WILLIAM MOORE (Patent Applied For). 
The color is a beautiful soft even-toned car¬ 
mine pink, shading to a deeper pink as the 
blooms age. The flowers are very large, full, 
of perfect shape, with high pointed center, 
and very sweetly scented. The growth is 
vigorous, free, and upright, and the stiff 
stems are clothed with light green foliage, 
and few thorns; mildew proof. This variety 
has our strongest recommendation as a per¬ 
fect exhibition Rose, good in all weathers. 
It is seen at its best as an established plant 
when it produces an abundance of blooms, 
of perfect formation and great beauty 
throughout the entire season. $2.00.
