LOCKE POTEET NURSERY 
ROSES-—One of Our Specialties 
The Rose is still Queen of All Flowers and no garden is really complete without at least a 
few of these aristocrats among flowers. 
We are proud of our Foteet Grown Rose Bushes. As with most plants and trees our soil produces 
a strong root sytem and a heavy top. We are far enough north to make them dormant at transplanting 
time and yet far enough south so they are not damaged by cold. Our Roses do not get excited and 
sprout all over during an untimely warm spell in Winter and then he seriously damaged by a follow¬ 
ing cold snap, as is the case with those raised in a more northern latitude and shipped South. 
If you are a “rose hug” come and see our Rose fields and test garden where we have many varie¬ 
ties under observation, not listed in this catalog. While we are offering most of the newest varieties, we 
are still propagating some of the fine old standbys, too good to discard. 
NEW NOVELTY AND PATENTED ROSES 
Better Times —(Jos. H. Hill Co. 1934)—Plant 
Patent No. 23. New. The brilliant cerise flowers 
are large, double and delicately fragrant; being 
produced on long, strong stems, they are excellent 
for cutting; foliage is leathery, dark green; a very 
free full bloomer; its success is indication of the 
name; $1.50 each. 
Blaze—Climber. Plant Patent No. 10. Acclaimed 
by the nation and continues to be the most popular 
of all new climbing roses—the only hardy ever- 
blooming scarlet climber: it has every element to 
insure its success, for BLAZE combines the vigor, 
beauty and hardiness of Paul’s Scarlet Climber 
with the everblooming rose; every one of the plants 
offered this season was propagated from blooming 
wood, in order to definitely and more quickly re¬ 
produce the everblooming quality in this rose; 
Everblooming, $1.25 each. 
Countess Vandal Ht.— (M. Leenders 1932) — 
Plant Patent No. 138. Is today the post popular 
rose in America as well as in Europe; the long 
pointed bud. upright stems for cutting, richer color¬ 
ing and large rose differentiate it from Edith Nellie 
Perkins, also blooms more steadily; the color com¬ 
bination can hardly be described, a superposition 
of pink, copper, gold and salmon producing a 
peculiar effect changing as the bloom ages; $1 each. 
Nigrette —(M. Krause 1934)—Plant patent No. 
87—New; the “Black Rose of Sangerhousen.” The 
cup-shaped flowers are intensely deep maroon with 
blackish velvet sheen and are deliciously fragrant; 
it is the darkest of roses, appearing almost black 
from a little distance; the petals do not burn in the 
sun. The plant is continuously in bloom, spending 
most of its energy in forming blossoms; the sensa¬ 
tion of the European rose world is now available 
for the first time in this country; $2.00 each. 
Mary Hart Ht.— G. B. Hart 1932)—Plant Patent 
No. 8—Red Talisman. A stunning, glorious red 
sport of the well-known Talisman which it resem¬ 
bles in almost all respects except color, having the 
same erect habit, with foliage of somewhat darker 
green; it is an unceasing bloomer, producing warm 
brownish crimson flowers both early and late, with 
the unusual merit for a red rose that the color does 
not turn bluish as the blooms fade; $1.00 each. 
Souvenir —(A. N. Pierson 1931)—Plant Patent 
No. 25—A golden Talisman, one of the loveliest of 
roses; its bloom is a deep rich golden yellow, and 
it is a prolific producer of fragrant flowers for 
cutting; it is a superb garden variety with all the 
desirable qualities of the popular Talisman; price 
$1.00 each. 
Catalonia, Ht. — (P. Dot 1933)—Vermilion; a 
new color in roses; Catalonia’s coloring is so vivid, 
so different, that we are at a loss for words to 
describe it properly; the buds are deep rich car¬ 
mine stained with orange and open to a 50-petalled 
flower of velvety orange-scarlet, vermilion, cochi¬ 
neal-red, or something like that; anyway, the color 
is the most vivid we have ever seen in a rose; 
instead of'being scentless, as such a spectacular 
flower has a right to be, it has a rich, fruity fra¬ 
grance: keep well sprayed and one startling bloom 
will pay for the extra care; Gold Medal. Barcelona, 
1931; First-Class Certificate, National Rose Society 
Trial Grounds, 1931; price, $1.50 each. 
Louise Krause Ht. —Almost a twin sister to Max 
Krause, which it resembles in large bloom and 
color: orange, paling to cream at edges of petals; 
lighter color than Max Krause; free flowering; 
vigorous; $1.00 each. 
Max Krause Ht. —Fat, globular buds of deep, 
butter-orange, which open to huge, double, golden 
yellow flowers with petals paling lighter at the 
edges and deepening into soft coppery tones in 
center of bloom; does well in the garden and blooms 
freely, producing large blooms; it is a deeper yellow 
than Louise Krause; $1.25 each. 
Edith Krause —Large well shaped buds, pure 
white with an exquisite tint of lemon in the depth 
of the flower; delicate sweet fragrance; bush a 
vigorous grower, abundant rich green foliage; one 
of the finest newer white roses; $1.00 each.
