CATALONIA. Vermilion. This child of two of 
the loveliest Roses ever grown (Shot Silk 
and Mari Dot) has brought a new color to 
Roses. Catalonia's coloring is so vivid, so 
different, that we are at a loss for words to 
describe it properly. The buds are deep, rich 
carmine stained with orange, and open to 
a 50-petaled flower of velvety orange- 
scarlet, vermilion, to cochineal-red, most 
vivid. Flowers have a rich, fruity fragrance. 
The plants are of only medium height but 
bushy. Gold Medal, Barcelona, 1931; First 
Class Certificate (highest award). National 
Rose Society Trial Grounds, 1931.

CONDESA DE SASTAGO. Copper and 
yellow. This Spanish novelty is the 
first double (50 petals) Rose to carry 
the vivid colors of the brilliant species Rose, 
Austrian Copper. The bud is like a ball of 
gold with brilliant red stripes. When fully 
open the alternating colors are evenly 
divided. Here is a highly colored Rose 
with an alluring spicy scent. The plant is 
unusually strong and upright in growth, 
with foliage well up on the flower-stem.

COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38. 
Retails $1.00 each; $10.00 dozen. Is today 
the most popular rose in America as well 
as in Europe. The long pointed bud, up¬ 
right stems for cutting, a richer coloring and 
large Rose differentiate it from Edith Nellie 
Perkins, also blooms more steadily. The 
color combination can hardly be described, 
a superposition of pink, copper, gold and 
salmon producing a peculiar effect chang¬ 
ing as the bloom ages.

DAINTY BESS. A remarkable upright-grow¬ 
ing variety with large, handsome flowers, 
the petals occasionally fluted or notched 
and carried in an odd tricky manner that 
gives them a curious squarish shape. The 
color is a dull old-rose on the back and soft 
flesh-pink in the center illumined with bril¬ 
liant maroon stamens. Six petals.

DIRECTOR RUBIO. One of the most 
striking Roses we have ever known, 
and the largest Rose blooms we have 
ever seen. One flower we saw meas¬ 
ured 71/2 inches in diameter; you can 
imagine the size of the buds. The color is 
cochineal-pink, but that does not describe 
the brilliance and beauty of the flower at 
all stages from the mammoth, long-pointed 
bud to the loose, ruffled, open flower, and it 
doesn't fade. The plant is hardly of average 
height but is extra sturdy, and the flowers 
are held rigidly erect on stout stems. Mild 
fragrance. Gold Medal, Saverne, 1928.

DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. Coppery 
apricot. This Rose produces two dis¬ 
tinct types of flowers; During the sum¬ 
mer the pointed buds are a blend of apri¬ 
cot-orange and dark pink, opening to splen¬ 
did blooms of coppery apricot. The autumn 
flowers are just about as beautiful as it is 
possible for a Rose to be. Great brownish 
buds open slowly to finely formed flowers, 
four inches in diameter, of a luscious cinna¬ 
mon-peach shade which words cannot truly 
describe, and this rich color lasts. It is 
sweetly perfumed. Thirty petals. Gold 
Medal of the King, Barcelona, 1929; Certifi¬ 
cate of Merit, Ontario Rose Test-Gardens, 
1933.

EDITOR McFarland. This is the fin¬ 
est deep pink garden Rose in the 
world today. The perfectly formed flowers 
are produced through all the growing 
season and are of a clear, brilliant un¬ 
fading pink, on nice long cutting stems, are 
fragrant, and as cut-flowers retain their 
form and last longer than any Rose we 
know. The plants are vigorous and have 
healthy, normal green foliage. We believe 
that Editor McFarland will soon be the 
standard by which new pink Roses will be 
judged. First Class Certificate of Merit, 
Lyonnaise, Horticultural Society, 1929; Gold 
Medal, Contest for the Most Beautiful Rose 
of France, Lyon, 1932; Certificate of Merit, 
Portland, 1932.

singly on strong, upright plants with shiny, 
leathery foliage. 
Price. Each ___$1.00 
HINRICH GAEDE. A most unusual color. 
Long, pointed, shapely buds of Nasturtium 
red. Large, double, high-centered blooms 
of a rich luminous vermilion shaded golden 
yellow—a color combination such as found 
in high-colored modern Zinnias. Has a 
rich fruity fragrance and is a free and 
continuous bloomer. Unlike any other Rose 
in commerce.
