ing Rose plants of choice variety.

THE IMPERIAL DOZEN 
From a hundred or more new varieties introduced each year, 
no more than a half dozen prove to have sufficient merit to 
make them stick. Our Imperial Dozen is made up of an assort¬ 
ment of colors and each Rose is selected on its merits as a 
garden Rose. You cannot go wrong on planting The Imperial 
Dozen. 
Charles P. Kilham. The buds are long pointed, of perfect 
shape, opening to high centered perfectly formed, full double 
flowers of a rich and brilliant oriental red, flushed with 
orange and glowing scarlet. 
E. G. Hill. Full double bloom of crimson scarlet retaining its 
color until the petals fall. One of the best Roses of all times. 
Etoile de Hollande. Flower bright, dark red, of medium 
size, fairly full; deliciously perfumed. 
Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. Long pointed buds, flowers 
large and full; color salmon to apricot on a pink and yellow 
ground. 
Miss Rowena Thom. Its large, ovoid buds are long and 
shapely, opening to perfect, double fragrant flowers, fre¬ 
quently 5 in. across, of a brilliant dark rose pink with a gold¬ 
en glow at the base of the petals that suffuses the entire 
flower and intensifies the color as the blooms unfold. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. A coral red shaded yellow at base, 
passing to shrimp red, or bronze and geranium red. This Rose 
has wonderfully beautiful coloring. 
M rs. P. S. Du Pont. Tapering, reddish gold buds and double, 
golden yellow flowers. Promising new variety. 
President Herbert Hoover. A happy blend of orange and 
pink, varying in tone from coppery red in the bud, to glow¬ 
ing orange yellow at the base of the petals, flamed and suf¬ 
fused with vivid rose pink. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. Copper red buds of great length, 
opening to golden yellow blooms stained outside with red, 
fully double. 
Roslyn. Beautifully tapering buds and large, double flowers 
of golden yellow with deep orange shading on reverse of 
petals. 
Talisman. This new American Rose is the most remarkable 
piece of coloring that we know in any Rose; a combination of 
shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old rose. 
The outside of the petals is bright yellow, gold, and pink; 
as the flower develops and the petals unfold, they become 
bright apricot, gold, deep rose pink or old rose. 
Ville de Paris. A very distinct, rich, buttercup yellow without 
a trace of any other color, retaining its richness under all 
weather conditions.
