TALISMAN 
A Symphony in Scarlet and Gold. 
Radiance. This ever-popular Rose will prob¬ 
ably produce more first class blooms to the 
plant than any other variety, and it is exceed¬ 
ingly vigorous, hardy, and disease-resistant 
under all conditions of soil and climate. The 
flowers are a lovely light silvery-pink, suf¬ 
fused deeper pink, and carry a most delicious 
damask perfume. Give it plenty of room and 
be prepared to cut many long-stemmed flow¬ 
ers, for no planter was ever disappointed in 
the performance of this famous Rose. 50c each. 
Red Radiance. All we need to do is repeat 
the splendid recommendations made for its 
sister variety Radiance above because this 
red Rose is exactly the same in everything 
except color of flower, which is a rich cerise- 
red. No Rose will excel it in fragrance, growth 
or quantity of blooms. 50c each. 
President Hoover 
President Herbert Hoover. Certainly no Rose 
planting would be complete without this won¬ 
derful multi-colored Rose. It combines many 
shades of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and yel¬ 
low, the long buds being beautifully formed, 
opening slowly and possessing a most deli¬ 
cious fragrance. One of its finest character¬ 
istics is the magnificent growth of the bush, 
four feet in one season being only quite 
ordinary growth for this variety, and it is not 
a question of how long you wish the stems 
to be cut but how long you wish to cut them.

Centennial described on page 56. 50c each. 
SISTER THERESE 
Perfect Buds, Spicily Fragrant. I*;'' 
Rev. F. Page Roberts. The in¬ 
ner face of the petals is a soft 
buff yellow, and the reverse a 
rich salmon. The flowers are 
large, very double, with a de¬ 
licious fruity fragrance. Plant 
is low and spreading. 75c each. 
Rose Marie. This variety 
comes close to being the ideal 
pink garden Rose and is undis- 
putably one of the finest Roses 
of any color for cutting. A per¬ 
fectly formed flower, full and 
long-lasting, dark rose-pink in 
color, with beautifully veined 
petals and a rich sweet per¬ 
fume. It is an exceedingly free 
bloomer, with long stems. 50c. 
Sister Therese. Sister Therese 
has the qualities which we all 
value most in a garden rose. 
It has a remarkably strong, 
tall, vigorous, free - branching 
bush. The long, tight, slender 
buds are always perfect, never 
becoming misshapen in any 
weather, and they have enough 
petals to keep well as a cut 
flower. The chrome-yellow buds 
tinged with carmine and the 
lighter yellow open blooms, 
spicily fragrant, with deeper 
tones of apricot and gold, are 
always beautiful to behold. 75c. 
Souv. de Mme. C. Chambard. 
French rosarians voted this “the 
most beautiful Rose of France/' 
and many American Rose lovers will pro¬ 
claim it the most beautiful Rose in their gar¬ 
den. The buds are ideally shaped; long, 
slender, and full, and the open flowers are 
just as perfect. The color is a silvery carmine- 
rose, shading to salmon with a satiny sheen 
which makes the flowers glow and sparkle. 
A slight fragrance. The bush is slender, of 
medium size. See illustration on next page. 
75c each. 
Souv. de Claudius Pernet. Since its intro¬ 
duction from Europe, this has been the most 
famous of yellow Roses. A vigorous, erect 
grower with extremely beautiful bright green 
foliage, producing many exquisite buds on 
long stiff stems. The flowers are large and 
full of a clear bright sunflower-yellow. 50c. 
Souvenir de Jean Soupert. Large, long, slen¬ 
der buds of coral-apricot, with a more in¬ 
tense shade of apricot-yellow on the inside 
of the petals. It is a good grower and 
blooms freely, with splendid foliage. 75c each. 
Sunkist. The long, beautifully shaped buds 
and full, open flowers, glorious deep orange- 
yellow with varying tints of copper, buff, and 
bronzy pink. The plants are tall and vigor¬ 
ous, with large handsome foliage. The flow¬ 
ers are sweetly fragrant and keep in splendid 
condition for three or four days after cut¬ 
ting. See illustration on preceding page. 75c. 
Talisman 
Talisman. A vividly colored Rose which is 
probably better known as a cut flower than 
any other Rose grown. The brilliant coloring 
is a mixture of orange-scarlet and golden yel¬ 
low in irregular proportions, but always 
pleasing. Very double, exquisitely shaped, 
borne on long stems, and exceedingly sweet 
scented. When you have once seen, and in¬ 
haled the delicious perfume of a perfect Talis¬ 
man bud, you cannot rest until you have one 
in your garden, and then you will want more 
plants so that you can pick a large bouquet. 
50c each. 
Sunburst. A favorite yellow Rose for many 
years and still hard to beat, its name typify¬ 
ing its glorious coloring. The buds are large 
and well formed, produced on long stems, 
with an intense shade of golden orange light¬ 
ening to yellow. 75c each. 
Ville de Paris. A clear sunflower yellow 
Rose which does not fade. Vigorous, erect, 
with glossy reddish-green foliage; disease 
proof and almost thornless. 75c each. 
White Maman Cochet T. White, flushed 
with pink on the outer petals. Very large, full 
and fragrant. A splendid old Tea Rose. 75c. 
W. A. Bilney. Big, large-petalled flowers of 
pale apricot-pink, flushed deeper pink at the 
edges. Its sweet fragrance and delicate color¬ 
ing remind us of apple blossoms in the spring 
—no loud colors, but charming and dainty 
tints. 75c each. 
York and Lancaster. Some petals are en¬ 
tirely white, some are entirely red, and some¬ 
times they are half red and half white. It was 
named for the Wars of the Roses between the 
Houses of York and Lancaster. $1.00 each. 
Hybrid Perpetuals 
This class of Roses is very hardy, with tall 
vigorous bushes, large clean foliage and big, 
full, fragrant blooms, appearing in great pro¬ 
fusion in the spring season only. Particularly 
fine in Arizona and desert regions. Plant them 
in the background of the Rose bed so that 
their big double blooms will show up over 
the heads of other Roses. Worth growing for 
their surpassing fragrance alone. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. The only yellow Hy¬ 
brid Perpetual. Unlike the other varieties of 
this type, however, it produces a profusion of 
blooms all through the growing season. 
Golden salmon in color, shaded flesh-pink 
and nankeen-yellow. The bush is low and 
compact, with very heavy stems. 75c each. 
American Beauty. Large blooms of rosy- 
carmine, fine in Arizona, but of no value on 
the coast. Rich damask perfume. 50c each. 
Frau Karl Druschki. Pure white, with im¬ 
mense long buds and very double flowers, 
wax-like in texture. Hardy everywhere, with 
long upright growth up to six feet. 50c each. 
General Jacqueminot. A favorite old scarlet- 
crimson Rose, sweetly fragrant. 50c each. 
Mrs. John Laing. Large, clear pink, 
exceedingly fragrant. 50c each. 
Paul Neyron. The largest Rose in 
cultivation; producing immense flow¬ 
ers at the end of every long stiff 
stem; deep rose-pink. 75c each.
