Duchess of Athol 
Duchess of Athol. H.T. (1928) The 
coloring of this rose when open is like 
that of a beautifully ripened peach. The 
large, globular buds are bronzy orange ; 
the thick-petalled, double flowers of 
apricot and gold flushed with rose are 
borne in great profusion. Foliage is dark 
bronzy green and remarkably mildew- 
proof. We like it very much. 50c.

E. G. Hill. H.T. (1929) This is the most 
unfading of all red roses; the color re¬ 
maining brilliant scarlet under hot sun. 
Flowers are fully double and unusually 
long lasting when cut. Blooms are pro¬ 
duced singly on long stems which make 
it ideal for cutting. A very profuse 
bloomer even during the cold days of 
late autumn. 50c. 
AN INVITATION 
In this book we try to describe 
for you 126 varieties of roses, 
but we know that words cannot 
adequately picture so many roses. 
Therefore, we have planted in 
our test garden 250 varieties, both 
new and old, growing and bloom¬ 
ing under average California gar¬ 
den conditions. April and May, 
just after our Spring Bulb Show, 
are the best rose months with us 
but rose lovers will find our gar¬ 
den interesting from April to No¬ 
vember. You are invited to visit 
our Rose Garden at any time to 
make your selection of new va¬ 
rieties from roses actually in 
bloom.
