A Brilliant Bi-colored Beauty 
Condesa de Sastago (Pedro Dot, 1933). This brilliantly colored Spanish 
Rose has drawn Oh's and Ah's from all who have seen it, for its startling 
color combination is undoubtedly unique. The large, cup-shaped flowers, 
fairly double and yet not too heavy, are distinctly bi-colored, glowing orange- 
scarlet on the inside of the petals and an intensely bright yellow on the out¬ 
side, but the breath-taking beauty of its brilliant flowers is not its only fine 
quality. The tall slender plants are exceedingly strong and satisfyingly 
robust, and the flowers possess a sweet fragrance. 75c each. 
Carrie Jacobs Bond (Howard & Smith, 1935). A unique new California Rose 
with many fine qualities. The bush is tall, slender and strong growing, soon 
reaching a height of 4 or 5 feet, and producing quantities of its very large, 
fully double, beautifully shaped buds of deep carmine-rose, each petal with 
a silvery edge. The flowers last a long time because they have so many 
petals, and very few varieties produce their blooms on such long stems. It has 
one of the sweetest, richest, most delightful perfumes in Roses, and this 
characteristic along with the exceptionally long stems which average 12 to 24 
inches or more and the long keeping qualities of the blooms make it well 
worth while. Plant Patent No. 158. $1.25 each. 
CONDESA DE SASTAGO 
A Fragrant Free-Blooming Australian 
Warrawee (Fitzhardinge, 1933). An Australian Rose with a large, 
vigorous plant that grows just as strongly and blooms as freely as does 
Radiance, producing great quantities of its long, slender, light pink buds 
of delicate light pink. It has one of the richest and most delightful 
spicy scents in Roses, and certainly no one can complain about the 
number of flowers produced. It keeps blooming from earliest spring 
until late in the fall. Plant Patent No. 140. $1.25 each. 
Glowing Sunset (Kordes, 1933). The coloring varies with the weather 
but always displays beautiful tints of soft orange, apricot and yellow, 
beautifully blended. The buds and open flowers are nicely shaped and 
have a sweet Tea fragrance, and the plant is a good strong grower. 
You will find that it resembles just what its name implies. Plant Patent 
No. 104. $1.25 each. 
Hinrich Gaede (W. Kordes, 1931). We can tell you that the general 
color effect in this flower is orange-scarlet, copper-orange, or luminous 
vermilion, but no matter how much we juggle the color adjectives, you 
could not possibly get an idea of the magnificence of its bloom. It has 
a rich honey-sweet fragrance, and the quite double flowers are borne 
on long stems on a vigorous strong bush with excellent foliage. If you 
like Roses in these brilliant shades—and who doesn't ?—you cannot 
leave out Hinrich Gaede. $1.00 each. 
Joseph Strnad. No, this is not a linotyper's error, the spelling is cor¬ 
rect, but don't ask us how to pronounce it. It is a beautiful Rose from 
Bohemia, bright pink, yellow at the base of the petals, beautiful in both 
bud and open flower, with stout stems and a mild sweet fragrance. It 
is starting out without much publicity, but we believe that it will be 
well known before long. $1.00 each.

Cathrine Kordes (Kordes, 1930). We all 
like roses with perfectly formed buds 
which are never misshapen and which 
keep for a reasonable length of time after 
they are cut. This splendid Rose has a 
lovely form, large size, and a delicate 
fruity fragrance, while its deep cherry red 
blooms, each petal faintly edged 
with silver, are borne with remark¬ 
able generosity. The long stems 
and ideal buds make it a perfect 
cutting rose. $1.00 each. 
Catalonia (Pedro Dot, 1933). We 
are not sure just what to call the 
color, whether it be Vermillion, or¬ 
ange-scarlet or bright red with an 
orange underglow—but certainly it 
is entitled to those overworked ad¬ 
jectives—brilliant, vivid and unique. 
A spreading vigorous bush, and 
the flowers, while lacking a bud, make a 
glorious open bloom, full-petaled and long 
lasting, and possessing a delightful fruity 
fragrance. $1.00 each. 
Eulalia (Verschuren-Pechtold, 1934). A 
big, full, high-centered flower of bright 
clear rose-pink shaded silvery pink on the 
outer edges of the petals. The bush is 
vigorous, of medium height, and the stems 
are long and sturdy. The fragrance is 
excellent. We consider it to be better than 
many of the pink Roses now being grown 
because of its clear brilliant shade and 
the most attractive form of its buds and 
open flower. $1.00 each. 
FEU PERNET-DUCHER 
Feu Pernet-Ducher (Mallerin, 1934). 
You will find this to be one of the 
most vigorous, strongr Rose bushes in 
your garden, producing continuouslv 
great quantities of its big, pale yel¬ 
low flowers which look like a big 
yellow Camellia, very symmetrical, 
the imbricated petals unfolding for 
days and still never showing the cen¬ 
ter of the flower. The color is a bit 
pale, almost cream in warm weather, 
and the stoutish buds are often 
tinged with pink. The flowers are 
delightfully fragrant at all times. 
Plant Patent No. 103. $1.50 each. 
Gloaming (J. H. Nicolas, 1935). The 
first time that we saw this splendid 
pink Rose we were much struck with 
its beauty and with the handsome 
large foliage. The flowers are very 
large, high-centered, quite double, in 
a rich shade of deep salmon-pink 
with shadings of fawn and yellow at 
the base of the petals. Always long 
beautifully shaped buds. Only slight 
fragrance. U. S. Plant Patent No. 
137. $1.50 each. 
Golden Rapture (Kordes, 1933). This 
Rose has produced some of the most 
perfectly formed bright yellow buds 
that we have ever seen—not a pale 
yellow, but a glowing shining rich 
yellow without any shadings and the 
color does not fade. The open flower 
is good also, and it has a mild but 
pleasant fragrance. The growth is 
medium. $1.00 each.
