SIR HENRY SEAGRAVE 
(Dickson 1932) $ .60 
A large, high centered, beautifully formed, fragrant 
flower of primrose yellow, borne on long, strong 
stems. Bush is a strong upright bushy grower and 
a continuous bloomer. For those who like a light 
yellow, this rose is excellent. 
SOEUR THERESE (Giilot 1930) $ .75 
A French rose that is recommended for cool climate 
only. It has a long pointed bud of golden yellow 
often streaked with carmine, opening to a large 
semi-double flower. Foliage is medium size and 
leathery. A vigorous growing plant and free bloom¬ 
ing. 
SOUVENIR De Mme. C. CHAMBARD 
(C. Chambard 1931) $ .75 
After observing this rose we can readily understand 
why it was judged the finest rose of France. A long 
pointed bud opening to a high centered, beautifully 
formed flower of coral pink with a satiny sheen. 
The flower is usually borne singly on a very strong 
stem on which the foliage extends to within an inch 
of the rose. As fine a cut flower as Dame Edith 
Helen. Bush is a moderate grower; fragrant. 
SUSAN LOUISE (Adams 1929) £ .50 
This lovely rose has proven satisfactory wherever 
grown. A seedling of the Belle of Portugal, but a 
bush rose and a continuous prolific bloomer. Bud is 
long and slender and of a deeper shade of pink than 
its parent; stems are long and firm. Growth is ex¬ 
tremely vigorous and practically thornless. No 
garden is complete without Susan Louise. 
TALISMAN (Montgomery 1929) $ .50 
The most popular rose in years and a rose that has 
come to stay. The color is a mixture of red, yellow 
and copper in varying proportions. The bud is long 
pointed and opens to a medium size flower of the 
same colors. Extremely fragrant. An excellent cut 
flower. Growth is vigorous and upright. Mildews 
slightly. 
THE QUEEN ALEXANDRA £ .50 
A startling combination of vermillion and orange 
with a reverse of old gold. Excellent as a garden 
rose as it is nearly always in bloom. Not good as a 
cut flower. A strong spreading grower, but will not 
stand heavy pruning. 
VESUVIUS £ .50 
Dark velvety crimson with yellow stamens. Excellent 
in a cool climate. Very vigorous grower and a con¬ 
tinuous bloomer. Fragrant.
