DUCHESS OF PENARANDA 
(P. Dot 1931) #1.00 
Without a doubt, one of the finest roses in commerce 
today. Duchess of Penaranda offers two distinct 
shades to its admirers. In the spring and summer 
the large pointed buds open to a large, double 
flower of coppery apricot and sometimes showing a 
dark pink cast. In the fall, the color is deeper and 
shows more of the bronzy shades. Regardless of 
when you see it the bloom is exquisite and fades 
but little. Quite fragrant. Not alone is the flower 
beautiful, as the foliage is just a3 lovely and very 
free of disease. The bush is a very strong, upright 
grower and a prolific bloomer. 1 Excellent in all 
localities. (See picture on the cover.) 
ECLIPSE (J. H. Nicolas 1936) #1.50 
This rose has won several medals this year on its 
perfect form. The bud3 are very long and when the 
attractive sepals open showing the golden petals, it 
is very attractive. The open flower is not as lovely; 
fifteen petals. A prolific bloomer on a strong, up¬ 
right, four-foot bush. Plant Patent No. 172. 
EMPRESS (Chaplin Bros. 1933) #1.00 
In the year we have grown this rose, it has shown 
up very well. It is an excellently formed, exhibition 
type, double flower, of bright rose pink, inlaid with 
salmon, borne on a long stiff stem. The plant is a 
vigorous upright grower, about four feet, with dark 
green leathery foliage. Awarded Clay cup for frag¬ 
rance in 1932. A continuous bloomer. This rose 
should not be confused with “Impress.” 
FEU PERNET DUCHER 
(H. C. Mallerin 1934) £1.50 
In some sections this rose is claimed to be among 
the finest, but we do not know it well enough to 
comment. It is described as a creamy bud, marked 
with carmine, opening to a spiral flower of rich 
yellow, growing lighter toward the edges. The 
autumn flowers are a rich golden yellow, shading 
lighter at the edges, at times having a pink tinge. 
The blooms have about eighty petals. Fragrant. A 
most prolific bloomer and grower (4 ft.) with glossy, 
disease resistant foliage. Plant Patent No. 103. 
GLOAMING (J. H. Nicolas 1935) #1.50 
A cut flower variety which has proven a “winner” 
wherever grown. Its long buds are carried on long 
rigid stems amply clothed with handsome foliage. 
The plant is vigorous, branching, and fairly tall 
g rowing. Bloom is of unusual coloring—fawn orange 
1 the bud and the large full blooms are of a pecu¬ 
liar pink overlaid with salmon. (Description of the 
Introducer.) Plant Patent No. 137.
