ADVENTURES IN 
Rose growing is a joy for every month in the year, with just 
enough trouble to make the joy keener by contrast. It is not the 
blooming season alone that holds pleasure for the real rose 
enthusiast. The pruning and spraying of established bushes; the 
choosing and planting of new varieties; the burgeoning of new 
leaf growth in spring, all yield a keen pleasure. The really big 
thrills in rose growing, however, come when a new rose blooms 
OUTSTANDING ROSES 
Lucia Zuloaga. H.T. (1932) A semi-double flower of intense, 
lacquer red; darker and more brilliant that Cuba. Clean, 
healthy foliage and a very free bloomer. Better for garden 
display than for cutting. $1.00. 
Luis Brinas. H.T. (1932) Orange-copper buds opening to 
fully double flowers of dark salmon flushed with gold. A 
most attractive new rose that blooms freely all summer. A 
sturdy grower. Patented. $1.25. 
Alezane. H.T. (1934) Striking and unusual colors; chestnut- 
red in bud with open blooms of golden brown paling to 
coppery-salmon. Flowers are quite double, of medium size 
and borne in generous number on a vigorous plant. Patented. 
$1.50. 
Angels Mateu. H.T. (1934) Winner of Bagatelle Gold 
Medal in 1934. Varies from orange-old rose to rich salmon- 
coral. Glorious, big, double blooms of attractive form on a 
sturdy bush, with mildew resistant foliage. Ranks with Mrs. 
Sam McGredy and Hinrich Gaede in beauty and depend¬ 
ability. Patented. $1.50. 
Black Knight. H.T. (1934) Flowers as dark as Chateau de 
Clos Vougeot but borne on a vigorous, healthy plant. The 
best black-red rose so far. Good form and fair fragrance. 
Patented. $1.25. 
Carillon. H.T. (1935) Described by its introducers as a much 
improved Mme. Edouard Herriot. Orange-scarlet buds, coral- 
flame blooms. Patented. $1.25. 
Carrie Jacobs Bond. H.T. (1935) Large, magnificently formed 
flowers of old rose color. Real rose fragrance. Stems are 
long and strong holding the flowers upright. Patented. $1.25. 
Catalonia. H. T. (1933) Buds deep rich carmine stained with 
orange; open blooms fully double. Bush of robust, rather 
spreading growth and almost continuously in bloom. A great 
rose to provide vivid coloring in the garden. (See color illus¬ 
tration on page 36.) $1.25. 
Eclipse. H.T. (1935) In the open field in hot July weather 
it produced buds of almost greenhouse perfection. Open 
flowers somewhat lacking in petalage. Color is a good me¬ 
dium yellow midway between Joanna Hill and Claudius 
Pernet. For cutting in the bud stage it is exceptionally fine. 
A good grower and apparently a free bloomer. Patented. 
$1.50.

carmine; open flowers light yellow in spring and summer,
