The Best Yellow 
Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. We have just about 
concluded that this is the most valuable yel¬ 
low Rose for the garden, and many of our 
Rose friends will agree with us. The nicely 
shaped buds and well shaped open flowers 
are bright canary-yellow without other shad¬ 
ings, and the strong growing,_ vigorous bush 
is lavish with the blooms. Taking color, form, 
and growth into consideration we know of no 
other yellow Rose that we would prefer to 
recommend ahead of it. 50c each. 
McGredy's Ivory. The flowers are creamy 
ivory-white which turns to a clear white as 
it opens and occasionally has a faint pink 
flush in the center in cool weather. The buds 
are just about as perfect as Roses can be, 
and the flowers possess a delicate damask 
perfume. The purity, grace and beauty of a 
lovely bud of this variety just about takes 
your breath away, and if you want perfect 
white Roses, this is one of those you should 
plant. 75c each. 
McGredy's Scarlet. It might be scarlet in 
some climates, but is a vivid deep Rose here 
in California, sometimes with a scarlet glow 
in the early morning as the bud opens. And 
what a grower it is, with great strong four 
to five foot bushes, loaded throughout the 
summer with long-stemmed buds, every one 
long, slender, and beautifully shaped. See 
illustration below. 50c each. 
Miss C. E. Van Rossem. The medium sized, 
bushy plant produces an amazing quantity of 
beautiful velvety, dark red, perfectly formed 
buds and flowers with small waxy petals, not 
very large, but exquisitely shaped. 75c each. 
Mme. Butterfly. Year after year this fine 
Rose remains a much loved favorite in the 
garden with its deep shadings of apricot and 
gold on a background of brilliant pink. The 
delicately modelled flowers are exquisite in 
both color and form, and since it also pos¬ 
sesses a delightful fragrance and lovely foli¬ 
age, it cannot be displaced by any of the 
newer Roses. 75c each.

Yellow Shades 
McGREDY'S SCARLET 
Exquisitely Beautiful Rosy- 
Red Buds. 
Mme. Edouard Herriott. The red hot 
copper shade of the bud and softer 
coral tint of the open flower won a 
$5,000 prize offered by the "Daily 
Mail" of London, and it has been 
famous ever since. The stems are 
sometimes weak and the bush is 
thorny, but it is indispensable in 
every garden. 50c. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles. A very large, 
firm ovoid bud of warm glowing 
pink, opening to big full flowers. Be¬ 
cause of its good clear color, good 
substance and freedom of bloom, we 
place it among the best pink roses. 
It opens slowly and there is nothing 
fleeting about it. 50c each. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. The more we 
see of this Irish lady with the won¬ 
derful complexion the more enthusi¬ 
astic we become. And we have yet 
failed to find anyone who did not 
greatly admire the flowers, which 
are of a beautiful copper-orange 
color, heavily flushed with Lincoln- 
red on the outside of the petals. There is no 
other color in Roses like it. The buds are 
long-pointed, high-centered, and double, with 
a moderate fragrance. Growth low and 
spreading. See illustration in color on back 
cover. 75c each. 
Mrs. G. A. Van Rossem. There is no more 
brilliant and out-of-the-ordinary color in Roses 
than is found in this variety. The general color 
effect is intense orange overlaid on a dark 
golden yellow ground, the brilliant coloring 
being intensified by the rich bronze veins 
which stand out over the petals and look as 
though they had been pencilled on. The bush 
is of medium growth; the stems stiff, heavy 
and upright. 50c each. 
Modesty. This Rose should be much more 
widely planted. It has the longest, largest and 
most perfectly formed buds of any Rose we 
grow, the color being pearly cream, flushed 
rose. The plant is of medium size. 75c each. 
Shades of Night 
Night. One of the darkest of all Roses, deep 
crimson shaded black and maroon. The buds 
and flowers are well shaped, quite double, 
and it has the spicy clove and cinnamon fra¬ 
grance that you can imagine would be wafted 
on the balmy airs of a tropical night. We 
consider this to be the best of the deep dark 
reds, much better than the over-publicized 
Nigrette, but like most dark Roses, 
the flowers are at their best in cooler 
weather. 75c each. 
PEACH BLOSSOM 
Miniature Blooms of Delicate Pink. 
An Unusual Rose 
Peach Blossom. This delightful Rose spreads 
out to form a much branched, compact plant, 
about 4 feet across and 2 feet high. During 
most of the season it is literally covered with 
clusters of little, light rose-pink blooms, each 
bud and flower perfect in form and extremely 
fragrant. Its unusual habit of growth, great 
freedom of bloom, and the delicate charm of 
the miniature flowers leads us to recommend 
it highly to those who like the fine and un¬ 
usual in Roses. 75c each. 
Oswald Sieper. If you like a big full white 
Rose with many petals, you'll want this one. 
The big tight bud is pale lemon, and the 
open flower is creamy white. The bush is sat¬ 
isfactory, but it does not bloom too freely. 
When it does bloom you get a flower which 
is the size of two or three ordinary ones. 75c. 
Patience. The color is difficult to describe 
but in general, is scarlet-carmine, varying at 
times to orange-scarlet and carmine. Long 
slender buds of which the bush is full at all 
times, expand into a splendidly formed flower 
which holds its color well. Provides an amaz¬ 
ing quantity of wonderful buds for cutting. 75c.
