AUSTRIAN COPPER. 
Like the old-fashioned 
yellow garden rose 
except that the flow¬ 
ers are intense cop¬ 
per-red with reverse 
petals in vivid golden 
yellow. The sturdy 
parent of the whole 
Talisman tribe. An¬ 
other “must have.” 
HARRISON’S YEL¬ 
LOW. The yellow 
rose which grew by 
your grandmother’s 
door; They are back 
in style, both for the 
shrubbery border and 
hot south side of the 
tion. 
HUGONIS. Earlier than Harri¬ 
son’s Yellow. Often blooms with 
the tulips. Plant Mertensia 
bluebells underneath it for a 
beautiful effect. 
GROOTENDORST. Red 
or Pink. First think of this rose 
as a strong, drouth-resistant 
shrub with fine foliage for your 
hottest location. Then add its 
clusters of double flowers, the 
size and fragrance of rambler 
roses but with petals notched 
exactly like those of a carnation 
pink. Then last consider that 
the bush is literally covered 
with these blooms from June to 
November, either red or pale 
pink as you choose. Isn’t that 
what you are looking for? 
AGNES. Copper Yellow. Frag¬ 
rant double flowers of large size 
and produced all summer. A new 
hybrid Rugosa. 
WHITE MEMORIAL (Wichu- 
riana). This is the white rose 
that makes a blanket of waxy 
leaves for a grave cover where 
grass will not grow. 
RUGOSA-HANSA. A sturdy shrub 
rose with large leaves and dou¬ 
ble flowers of violet pink. Ab¬ 
solutely hardy as it was orig¬ 
inated in Dakota.

have only one climber, and

setting one at each post. The

This is my sister, Helen Field Fischer, 
who conducts our Garden Club of the 
Air each day at 2:35. She has received 
and answered well over one hundred 
thousand letters from flower lovers all 
over the country. From the combined 
experience of these flower 
enthusiasts, she has learned 
exactly what varieties will 
do well in our trying cli¬ 
mate and we list nothing’ 
without her approval. 
Dear Flower Friends: 
We flower lovers surely 
had a hard July and August 
last year, but never were 
May, June, September and 
October more glorious. 
You are probably plan¬ 
ning, as I am, to concen¬ 
trate on the things which 
did well. I advise you to 
double your plantings of 
everblootning roses, not 
overlooking the new, large 
flowered Polyanthus type. 
Everyone gives first place to 
roses. 
We want more of the new 
choice petunias, zinnias, 
marigolds, too, and the perennials with 
the grey or fleshy leaves that proved to 
be especially drought resistant. 
Of course, you will want to set out 
some new ornamental shrubs, and trees 
—the foundation of our plantings. Get 
them in early and give them a chance. 
I wish I had time to write each of you 
a personal letter but of course that’s im¬ 
possible. I can talk to you though each 
morning at our Botany lesson at 9:30 
A. M., and my flower talk in the after¬ 
noon.
