Chas. P. Kilham 
Duchess of Montrose. H.T. (1929) For 
two years this variety has attracted 
more attention than any other red rose 
in our test garden. The buds are ex¬ 
quisitely modelled and of a rich glowing 
crimson. The open flowers are moder¬ 
ately double and quite large. Delicious 
apple-like fragrance. 75c. 
Etoile de Hollande. Fl.T. (1919) A bril¬ 
liant red rose with beautiful oval buds 
which open to glorious, large blooms 
that hold their color in strong sunlight, 
never showing bluish tints. More resis¬ 
tant to mildew than other red roses. 60c. 
Federico Casas. H.T. (1929) This gor¬ 
geous, new rose was admired by all who 
visited our test gardens. It is best de¬ 
scribed as being larger, darker and 
stronger growing than Talisman. It will 
be a permanent addition to the list of 
worthwhile roses. 75c.

DOZEN 
New roses are added to our list each year. Some of them become 
standard varieties after a few years and some drop out to make room 
for other new ones. Those that retain their popularity under the stress 
of such competition are “real roses.” For instance, Golden Emblem, 
which was introduced in 1917 is still the best and most popular yellow 
rose to be had at any price. It is from such “tried and true” varieties 
that we selected the roses for “Old Adobe” Dozen. 
This is our greatest rose bargain this year. All bushes are our 
number one grade, two-year-old budded plants; the best that money 
can buy. 
Chas. P. Kilham. H.T. (1926) Buds are unusually long and slender with high- 
pointed centers. As the orange-red buds slowly open they disclose shades of 
oriental red and rosy orange. When open the blooms are fully double with long, 
slightly quilled petals of dark coppery rose. 60c. 
Condesa de Sastago. H.T. (1933) The brilliant colors of this new rose from 
sunny Spain will win your admiration. Inside of petals rosy-red, reverse golden- 
yellow. It likes heat, doing its best in midsummer. Growth of plant much like 
Margaret McGredy. 75c. 
fectly formed buds of brilliant yellow 
striped with crimson on the outer petals. 
The blooms open slowly and are dark 
golden yellow. By far the best clear yel¬ 
low rose for outdoor growing. 60c. 
Imperial Potentate. H.T. (1923) Splen¬ 
didly formed buds of rosy carmine which 
open to crisp petalled blooms of shining 
rose-pink. Foliage is exceptionally fresh 
and fine. An unusually fragrant rose and 
one which we highly recommend. 50c. 
Lady Forteviot. (1928) Form similar to 
Angele Pernet but color is more golden. 
Foliage dark and glossy; bush grows 
well and produces a generous amount of 
flowers ; resistant to mildew. 60c. 
Mari Dot. H.T. (1927) This rose chal¬ 
lenges attention by its remarkable vigor 
and beauty. Bushes in our test garden 
are almost constantly in bloom from 
April to November regardless of weath¬ 
er conditions. Growth is extremely vig- 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. H.T. (1929) 
This lovely rose is gaining stead¬ 
ily in popularity entirely on its 
merit. For elegant, shapely buds 
it cannot be surpassed ; practically 
every flower is perfect. Buds are 
produced singly on strong, slender 
stems. The color is a glowing 
combination of red, copper and 
orange changing to warm pink j 
with golden suffusion as flowers 
age. The clear bronze color of the j 
new foliage gives the plants un- rj 
usual beauty in early spring be¬ 
fore the appearance of flowers. !

orous; the whole plant being well cov¬ 
ered with glossy, holly-like foliage. Buds 
are reddish salmon opening to double 
blooms of brilliant salmon pink over¬ 
laid with a coppery sheen. 60c. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. H.T. (1929) 
Everyone likes this variety for its cheer¬ 
ful profusion of bloom. It is an ex¬ 
tremely easy variety to grow, the dark 
green, glossy foliage being almost im¬ 
mune to mildew. In color it is a dark 
orange-yellow. Buds are small but beau¬ 
tifully formed. A most satisfactory va¬ 
riety and one that has won many gold 
medals. 60c. 
Talisman. H.T. (1929) The coloring is 
most unusual, being a combination of 
gold, apricot, pink and carmine in min¬ 
gled splashes, streaks and blends. For 
greatest satisfaction the flowers should 
be cut in the tight-bud stage. (See illus¬ 
tration in color on page 45.) 50c.
