MRS. PAUL 0OUDIE. 
Gipsy Lass. 
riDCY l a cc A most unusual type of rose 
toiroi l/aoo. W hj c h we enjoy offering be¬ 
cause It is so unconventional. It forms a 
tall, rampant, untamed sort of bush which 
displays in great quantities large, very full 
informal flowers of dark crimson. It blooms 
with great abandon at all seasons, hot 
weather or cool, and has a most exotic per¬ 
fume along with its other unusual qualities.

MRS. DUDLEY FULTON. Tpolyantha? 10 but 
actually it is a Hybrid in a class by itself. 
It was originated by the late Geo. C. Thomas. 
Jr., of Beverly Hills, and we consider it one 
of the finest and most valuable Rose novel¬ 
ties ever put on the market. The bush is 
covered during the spring, summer and fall 
with good-sized, single, silvery-white flowers 
which do not discolor, always dropping their 
petals cleanly before they fade, and they 
make the plant look like a small snowstorm. 
One of the most remarkable things about 
this Rose is the splendid evergreen foliage, 
which is always glossy as if varnished, and 
in California, at least, the foliage is just 
as attractive in the middle of winter as in 
the summer. Therefore, it makes a splendid 
flowering evergreen shrub. $1.00. 
A striking, well- 
formed, fragrant 
flower of a peculiar shade of yellow, edged 
and veined with rose-pink and crimson. It

glossy green foliage. $1.50 each.
