THE SPARKLING NEW PINK ROSE. LYDIA 
Leonard Barron. We cannot grow Peonies 
in California so the next best thing is to 
grow this Rose, because the immense flowers 
look like great big Peonies in a lovely shade 
of light salmon-pink. They have an enormous 
number of small petals and keep opening out 
for a number of days, each day getting fuller 
and more spectacular. One of its parents is 
the wild Eskimo Rose from the Arctic Circle, 
and it has plenty of the wild rose pertume. 
Plant of medium height. 75c each. 
Lovely Lydia 
Lydia (Verschuren, 1933). A particularly 
fine pink Rose, with long-pointed buds and 
good sized, full, high-centered, perfectly 
shaped flowers, deep rose-pink with a touch 
of cerise which gives it a sparkling tone. 
Possesses exceedingly fine fragrance, while 
not the least of its strong points is its strong, 
vigorous bush and the heavy stout stems 
which carry the flowers. A most satisfactory 
and substantial pink Rose which will please 
everyone. See illustration opposite page. 75c. 
THE 
C H 
Little Lulu 
Lulu. This dainty little Rose has al¬ 
ways been a great favorite with us 
and with our friends because of the 
great quantities of dainty, long, slen¬ 
der buds of coral-apricot with which 
the bush is covered at all times. There 
is not a Rose more exquisitely formed 
jf/' in the bud stage than Lulu, and an 
astonishingly large number of Rose 
lovers will put Lulu at the very top 
of their list of Roses. 75c each. 
Li Bures. A lovely and unusual Rose 
from Spain, remarkable for its continu¬ 
ally changing kaleidoscopic colorings. 
The bud is maroon-red, and as the 
flower opens, bright shades of pink, 
orange and yellow become visible, and 
when fully open, the outer petals are 
usually bright pink and the center 
salmon-orange. However, you will find 
Li Bures with a new color scheme al¬ 
most every morning in the year. 75c ea. 
Lord Charlemont. Very large, beau¬ 
tifully formed, high-centered crimson 
flowers on stout rigid stems. The flow¬ 
er is so magnificent and the color so 
superb that we consider it to be one of the 
best four red roses, but it is more suited to 
the interior than to the coast. 75c each. 
Los Angeles. This is the ideal American 
garden Rose, one of the finest varieties ever 
introduced. A California product, and in 
color emblematical of the Golden West, it has 
gained international recognition as the peak 
of excellence in the Rose. The color is a 
glorious rich flame-pink, shaded golden yel¬ 
low. An enormous, free-blooming bush. 50c. 
Louise Catherine Breslau. The general effect 
of this fully double, cup-shaped Rose is a 
light salmon-pink, but it varies with weather 
conditions, through the various shades of 
coral-red, orange, copper and shell-pink. The 
bush is low, compact and many branched, 
and the light glossy green foliage has long 
been known as almost ideal in Roses. 50c ea. 
Margaret McGredy. A brilliantly colored 
masterpiece of orange-scarlet or brick-rea. 
Short, stout buds, opening to large, full, 
magnificent flowers, on a beautiful heavily 
foliaged, well branched bush. 50c each.

The Golden Rose 
0 I C E OF 
No Nursing Required 
Lucie Marie. The buds are of deep coppery 
yellow, lightly splashed with red, with a 
pleasant fragrance. A Rose that does not 
have to be nursed along because it grows 
very vigorously up to four feet. Will furnish 
a whole bouquet of flowers on one bush once 
every week during the growing season. 75c. 
Marchioness of Linlithgow. A semi-double 
decorative Rose with beautifully shaped buds 
of deep crimson and unusually large, giant- 
petalled open flowers of the same deep color, 
with black velvety overtones, particularly fine 
in the fall blooming season. Plant vigorous 
and spreading. A beauty for those who like 
deep dark reds. 75c each. 
Mari Dot. The large, artistically shaped 
bud and fine, large, double open flower are 
magnificent in color, particularly in cooler 
weather. A rich fiery orange in the center 
with more intense shadings of bright yellow, 
the whole resembling a fiery sunset. As the 
flower ages it fades to a delightful salmon 
color. The bloom has the fragrance of freshly 
picked apples and pears. Bush vigorous, low 
and wide-spreading. 75c each. 
Apricot With Cream 
Max Krause. A real he-man Rose which 
does everything in a big way. A typical 
flower is deep orange-yellow in the center, 
lightening by degrees to a rich cream on the 
outside of the flower. In cool weather the 
deep golden tones predominate, and in warm¬ 
er weather the shades of apricot and cream 
increase It is always beautiful, and its great 
large, double, high-centered blooms with 
heavy petals and lots of them, are a joy to 
cut. The bush is a tall, heavy grower with 
thick, heavy stems, and it concludes its robust 
qualities with a dash of rich sweet-pea per¬ 
fume. 75c each. 
Maman Cochet. One of the few pure Tea 
Roses still on the market. Its large, full, rose- 
pink blooms, lightening at the edges of the 
petals, have the good old Tea perfume in 
abundance. The Tea Roses make very large 
bushes, are very long lived, and bloom almost 
the year around in warm climates. 75c each. 
Miss Rowena Thom. Enormous, very double 
flowers of rose-pink. While the color and 
shape are not out of the ordinary, anyone 
who likes their Roses of strong constitution, 
full of petals, sweetly fragrant, and always 
full of blooms will like Miss Rowena Thom. 
It is dependable and always on the job. 50c. 
Mrs. Lovell Swisher. Its long, exquisitely 
formed buds, very double, are deep coppery- 
salmon, passing to delicate salmon and flesh 
at the edges. A tall grower, bearing a suc¬ 
cession of perfect flowers. 50c.
