FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS 
A Bronze Beauty 
Duchess of Athol. For novelty and intensity 
of coloring, this Rose is outstanding. The full, 
double flowers on their heavy stems possess 
an extremely rich shade of copper-bronze 
flushed with orange and old rose. The color 
is similar to that of Angele Pernet, but greatly 
intensified. Exceedingly vigorous with bronzy- 
green foliage, and stiff, erect stems. 50c each. 
Dame Edith Helen. Though there are many 
fine pink Roses, this one still remains popu¬ 
lar. Big, full, double flowers of glowing pink, 
freely produced on a vigorous upright, long¬ 
stemmed bush. Its immense size, fully double 
blooms and delightful fragrance, combined 
with its unusual lasting qualities when cut, 
make it a Rose for every garden. 50c each. 
Duquesa de Penaranda. One of the most 
popular members of the Spanish Rose nobil¬ 
ity, with a most intriguing color of orange- 
apricot, with deeper coppery tones, the huge 
pointed buds being quite double, sweetly per¬ 
fumed and long lasting. A tall, strong grower 
with beautiful light green shiny foliage. The 
demand gets heavier for it every year. 
75c each. 
Dr. Heinrich Lumpe. This is the 
only Rose in our list that originated 
in Czecho-Slovakia. You will find 
it one of the finest roses of its 
color that you have ever grown, 
with long, splendidly shaped buds 
of rich deep pink, and with crisp 
heavy petals which do not flop re- 
E ardless of weather conditions. 
ong, stiff stems for cutting, a vig¬ 
orous bush, sweet fragrance, great 
large dark green leaves. 75c. 
E. G. Hill. Immense flowers of 
very lasting dazzling scarlet, never 
fading or turning blue, but actual¬ 
ly becoming deeper red as it 
opens. The flowers are borne on 
long stems, and are de¬ 
liciously fragrant. The 
foliage is abundant. Its 
brilliant color, extraordi¬ 
nary freedom of bloom, 
and lasting qualities 
have made it a popular 
Rose everywhere. See 
colored illustration on opposite 
page. 50c each. 
Etoile de Hollande. This magni¬ 
ficent red Rose is ranked among 
the first three of its color by every¬ 
one who knows Roses, and many 
will place it first. The perfect buds 
are of medium size, opening beau¬ 
tifully and cleanly into glorious 
great flowers with incomparable 
fragrance, holding its brilliant color 
to the end. The bush is strong, 
free branching, and healthy. A 
Rose that actually has no serious 
fault, and every new red Rose is 
automatically compared with it. 
50c each. 
Edith Clark. A beautiful little red 
Rose from Australia, with exquisite 
little deep red buds and a semi-double open 
flower. The plant is of medium growth but 
blooms freely. We like the excellent color of 
the blooms and the splendid form of the 
little buds. 75c each. 
Edith Nellie Perkins. We fell in love with 
this Rose when we first saw it and our opin¬ 
ion has not been changed. The flowers are 
two-toned, orange-buff inside the 
petals and a rich salmon or cop¬ 
pery-pink outside, the orange tint 
giving a bright glowing effect to 
the entire bloom. The long stems 
are splendidly shaped, have ex¬ 
cellent stiff stems for cutting, and 
are produced in great quantities 
on the strong, vigorous bush. The 
only thing it lacks is fragrance, 
and we can forgive that for its 
other fine qualities. 75c each. 
Etoile de Feu. Translated into 
English, the name is "Star of 
Fire" which describes it exactly, 
for its big, wide-spreading flower 
is crowded with stiff petals to the 
very center, radiating out to make 
a great star-like flower of flaming 
pinkish-orange. Dwarf and bushy, 
with glistening healthy foliage. 
75c each. 
Four Beautiful Single Roses 
Dainty Bess. Words fail us when we 
try to put into words the delicate 
charm and elusive loveliness of this 
dainty single Rose, which is, in our 
opinion, the finest single Rose grown. 
The five-petalled flowers are borne in 
clusters of three or more, each flower 
three inches across, delicate pink in 
dolor, with a brownish-red overcast 
and contrasting center of wine-red 
stamens. The flowers are very lasting 
when cut, and the bush is strong and 
tall, blooming continuously. See illus¬ 
tration page 64. 75c each. 
Innocence. The great stiff-petalled 
flowers, 4 to 6 inches across, are sin¬ 
gle and pure white, but open from a 
lovely slender beautiful bud. This long 
ivory bud and the exquisite open flow¬ 
er with snowy-white petals and con¬ 
trasting amber stamens, the delicious 
spicy scent like a mixture of cloves 
and cinnamon, all appeal very strong¬ 
ly to those who like something differ¬ 
ent. 75c each. 
Irish Fireflame. A beautiful single¬ 
flowering variety. The buds are won¬ 
derfully rich in coloring; a rich deep 
orange, splashed with crimson, opening 
to a large single flower of satiny old 
gold. The plant is rather tall and wil¬ 
lowy, and the dainty, richly colored 
buds are produced in great profusion. 
It is a beautiful Rose in the garden and 
a most useful Rose for cutting because 
its dainty flowers are lovely on the 
table. 75c each. 
Isobel. The largest of all the single 
Roses. The long bud is orange-carmine 
and in dull weather the open flower is 
the same rich shade, fading to a clear 
coral-pink in the sun. The bush grows 
tall and willowy and the flowers have 
extraordinarily long stems. No Rose gar¬ 
den is complete without those beautiful 
single Roses, Isobel, Innocence, and 
Dainty Bess. 50c each. 
A Czecho-Slovakian 
Talisman’s Rival 
Federico Casas. This variety has many rich¬ 
ly colored buds of coppery-pink and yellow, 
somewhat similar to Talisman, but the flowers 
are frequently richer in color and the buds 
are often better shaped. The plant is a very 
tall grower, and the buds are always borne 
on long stems. It is at its best in cool weath¬ 
er in locations without too much heat. 75c ea. 
Feu Joseph Looymans. This wonderful Dutch 
Rose has always been a favorite of ours, as 
it is of everyone who knows it. Produces 
quantities of great long slender buds of buff- 
yellow, shaded vivid apricot in the center, 
opening to large, fairly full flowers, and the 
bushes are seldom without blooms during the 
growing season. Growth tall and upright. 
There is probably no finer Rose of its color. 
See illustration in color at left. 75c each. 
A Gipsy Rose 
Gipsy Lass. We like its name because it 
describes its tall, rampant, untamed habit of 
growth, its profuse display of full, large, in¬ 
formal flowers of dark crimson, and we like 
the rose because it blooms with great aban¬ 
don at all seasons, in hot weather or cool, 
and has a most exotic perfume along with its 
other unusual qualities. 75c each. 
General McArthur. If you want the red 
Rose with the sweetest fragrance, this is it. 
For a long time was the leading red Rose 
and is still deservedly popular, with its flat, 
full perfumed blooms. The bush is exceeding¬ 
ly strong and free-blooming. 50c each. 
Golden Dawn. The large, oval buds are a 
rich sunflower-yellow, heavily diffused with 
cerise before opening, and developing into 
high-centered, double flowers of light lemon- 
yellow, with the original old Tea Rose scent. 
Lovely bronzy foliage. 50c each.
