climbing Rose Marie. 75c.

cially suited to warm localities, becoming covered 
with old-gold and apricot blossoms. 50c.

rose—a most pleasing shade. 50e.

flowers. A strong climber, blooming freely many

of this charming climber since its appealing lov- 
liness and simplicity of form captivates all who 
once see it. The single, open flowers are 5 to 6 
inches across, pale sulphur yellow, deepening at 
the base of the petals and set off by amber 
stamens. The flowers are fragrant and the whole 
vine is most beautiful, with deep green shining 
foliage. 75e.

some rose of irridescent pearl-pink with splashes 
of carmine on the outer petals. 50c.

spring-blooming roses and a solid mass of red 
for a long period. Unequaled for covering fences. 
50e. 
PHYLLIS BIDE. Dainty blossoms produced con¬ 
tinuously in long, loose sprays, with small buds 
of exquisite form, opening with gracefully re¬ 
flexing petals, pale gold at the base, flushed 
and shaded lovely pink at the edges. 75e. 
SILVER MOON. The large, waxy white, single 
flowers with golden stamens make this a climber 
of rare beauty. 75c. 
SPECIAL 
The Good Old Favorite 
DUCHESSE de BRABANT 
Probably no other rose is so dear to our mem¬ 
ories of earlier California gardens as the lovely 
pink Tea Rose Duchesse de Brabant, familiarly 
known as "The Duchess Rose". Growing into 
large bushes, there was scarcely a day in the 
year that one could not pick fragrant flowers 
from them. Everyone who had a garden twenty- 
five or more years ago (it was introduced in 
1857!) is familiar with the charming soft rose- 
pink colored buds and tulip-shaped flowers which 
are produced on smooth stems. It is perhaps 
difficult to understand how such a lovely rose 
could be nearly lost to our gardens, and we know 
that there are many lovers of fine roses who will 
welcome "The Duchess" back in our list. 
We have this year a limited number 
of strong one-year-old plants, 
potted at 50c each.
