General Collection of Armstrong Roses 
Angele Pernet. There has been nothing 
yet produced to equal the rich brownish 
orange color of this lovely Rose. The 
flowers are beautifully formed, semi-dou¬ 
ble, hold their color well, and possess a 
delightful fruity fragrance. Of moderate 
growth, with stiff unbending stems and 
shiny, glistening holly-like foliage. Its 
marvelous color alone keeps it outstand¬ 
ing. 50c each. 
Austrian Copper (See page 63). $1 each. 
Autumn. For intense richness of color, 
this Rose outdoes any other variety now in 
cultivation. The full handsome buds are a 
superb shade of burnt-orange, and the 
opening flowers are heavily suffused with 
russet-brown and bronzy red all over-laid 
on a background of rich yellow in a color 
combination reminiscent of the most glor¬ 
ious autumnal foliage. It would be difficult 
to give a description of the colors in this 
Rose which would exaggerate. Deliciously 
fragrant. 50c each. 
Betty Uprichard. A free-blooming, tall 
growing plant, producing quantities of its 
semi-double, copper-red buds which open 
to lovely bi-colored flowers, soft salmon- 
pink on the inner surface of the petals and 
glowing orange-carmine on the outside. 
Has a delightful lemon scent, and while 
the blooms open quickly, the superb color 
contrast keeps it popular. 50c each. 
Buttercup. Its nicely shaped buds and 
full open flowers possess a yellow color so 
intensely brilliant in the sunshine that you 
almost have to shade your eyes when you 
look at it. The blooms hold the color well, 
open slowly and keep splendidly either on 
the bush or as a cut flower for several 
days. It has no fragrance, but the upright 
plants are husky and vigorous, with 
straight, stout stems covered with remark¬ 
ably beautiful, shiny, bright green foliage. 
75c each. 
A Good White 
Caledonia. Unquestionably one of the 
finest white roses grown. Tne beautifully 
shaped, long, snowy-white buds are ex¬ 
quisite to behold, and the blossoms pos¬ 
sess a delicious fragrance. In certain 
weathers the buds "ball" and do not al¬ 
ways open up properly, but it produces 
its blooms so profusely and they are so 
very fine most of the time that we can 
forgive it those few lapses. 50c each. 
Charles H. Rigg. Something more than 
"just another pink Rose." The bush is 
large and vigorous, covered with dark 
green foliage while the long-stemmed, 
nicely shaped buds and flowers are a 
glowing bright pink, with plenty of petals 
and with a delightful fragrance that will 
put “nosarians" into Seventh Heaven. A 
variety that produces foliage, flowers, and 
fragrance as though it were enjoying life 
immensely. 75c each. 
Charles P. Kilham. This variety has many 
of the finest characteristics of that favorite 
variety, Mme. Edouard Herriot, including 
an even more brilliant coloring of coral- 
red and orange, but unlike Herriot it has 
long, straight stems for cutting, large! 
foliage, ana a slight fragrance. The bush 
is vigorous and widespreading. 50c each. 
Clarice Goodacre. The buds are beauti¬ 
fully formed, long and pointed, 
ivory white in color. The flow¬ 
ers are quite double, hold 
their shape well, and are de¬ 
lightfully fragrant and lasting. 
One of the best whites. 75c ea. 
Cecil. A wonderful decora¬ 
tive, single Rose with good- 
sized five petalled flowers of 
a glorious buttercup-yellow, 
often 5 inches across. There is 
no other variety anything like 
it. Blooms continuously on a 
large, densely branched bush 
with immense, glossy green, 
foliage. 75c each. 
Conqueror. We have found 
it to be one of the finest yel¬ 
low Roses we have ever seen. 
The large, beautifully shaped 
buds are saffron-yellow suf¬ 
fused with salmon, fading to 
paler yellow as the flower 
ages. Everybody likes a Rose 
that grows strong and vigor¬ 
ously without any coddling, 
and that's a description that 
fits Conqueror exactly. 75c ea. 
Crimson Queen. One of the 
finest red Roses for the hot 
climates of California and Ari¬ 
zona because it likes the heat. 
Long, well-shaped buds of 
crimson opening quickly, but 
fine when cut in the bud. 50c. 
THE BRILLIANTLY COLORED AUTUMN 
BILLY BOILER 
THE CHOICE OF 
THE WHOLE WOHLH 
Below, CALEDONIA, Exquisite White Rose. 
The Popular Countess Vandal 
Countess Vandal. Countess Vandal has established itself as one of 
the very finest pink Roses. Its long tapering buds of salmon-pink, richly 
shaded with copper and gold tones, are richly perfumed, and the 
Countess produces continuously many of these beautifully formed, long¬ 
stemmed, lovely blooms. It is exceptionally fine for cutting because 
long-stemmed buds are nearly always available and they keep excep¬ 
tionally well afier cutting. A strong robust grower of medium height, 
particularly fine in the warmer climates. U. S. Plant Patent No. 38. 
$1.00 each. 
Tivo Glorious Red Roses 
Billy Boiler. This Australian Rose is often listed as a climber, but we 
prefer to call it an 8 foot bush, for it seldom exceeds that height, and 
sends up many tall willowy canes from the base of the plant, and at 
the tip of each branch, on great long stems for cutting, are the im¬ 
mense flowers, absolutely perfect in every way, deep red with maroon 
shadings, quite double, beautifully shaped and deliciously fragrant. 
The color does not fade in the hottest sun, and while it blooms very 
little after the spring season, two months is a long time to enjoy the 
most perfect red Roses in existence. 75c each. 
Daily Mail Scented Rose. There seems to be a feeling that this 
splendid Rose is good only in cool coastal situations, but we would 
certainly not be without it in any climate for we think that it presents 
an unequalled combination of beautifully shaped buds, glorious semi¬ 
double open flowers, rich spicy fragrance, and a most magnificent 
sparkling velvety crimson color. Its fragrance is like mixed cloves and 
cinnamon, and in cooler weather the flowers have maroon or black 
overtones. The flowers, although they open quickly, keep a long time 
when cut. 75c each.
