GROWERS OF SELECTED ROSES 
YELLOW AND MULTI-COLORED ROSES, continued 
Independence Day. The buds are bright yellow, with shadings 
of copper and brown; the petals hold similar colors, but rapidly 
change to a light orange-pink. The plant is nearly always 
covered with buds and bloom. 
Joanna Hill. Resembles Ophelia but is more pronounced in the 
coloring, which is a rich creamy yellow with a flush of orange 
at the base of the petals. A fairly good bedding Rose but most 
useful for cutting because of the long-stemmed flowers. 
Julien Potin. Deep yellow buds and richly colored primrose 
blooms, carried on long sterrs. In midsummer the blooms are 
rather small, but early in the season and in late autumn the 
flowers are superb. 
Lady Hillingdon. (Tea.) Deep saffron-yellow, fragrant flowers 
that grow fighter towards the edge of the petals and as the 
blooms expand. The plant is erect in growth, hardier than most 
Tea Roses, but in cold climates requires careful protection. 
Luxembourg. Rich apricot-yellow, shaded with copper and 
marked with lighter yellow at the tips of the petals; the color 
holds without fading or burning. Very free blooming and en¬ 
tirely satisfactory for garden culture. In fact, Luxembourg 
comes close to being the premier yellow Rose for the South, and 
is deservedly popular in the North. 
Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem. A new Rose which is a glowing 
orange or apricot with undertones, of golden yellow; the com¬ 
bination resembles golden salmon and light orange, with the 
reverse of the petals light bronze. It is a desirable bedding 
variety and exceedingly useful for cutting. 
Mme. Nicolas Aussel. Intensely fragrant, full double blooms 
which are a pleasing shade of salmon marked with carmine, 
ochre, and yellow. A desirable new variety that should be 
grown by all who wish to have the new introductions in the 
garden. Careful tests in many sections indicate that the variety 
has a most promising future, both south and north. 
Joanna Hill 
Margaret McGredy 
Sunburst 
M rs. Pierre S. du Pont. A 
bright yellow that does not 
fade in intense sun. The 
blooms are large, have a spicy 
fragrance, and are produced very freely. An exceptionally good 
yellow variety. 
President Herbert Hoover. A combination of cerise-pink, 
yellow, flame, and scarlet. In hot weather the color is some¬ 
what dim, but early in the season and in late autumn it is 
brought out to its full richness. Grows well in partial shade, 
but seems to succeed anywhere. 
Rosa Hugonis. A shrub Rose with long sweeping branches, well 
covered with lemon-yellow flowers. Desirable for specimens 
or for use in border plantings. 
Roslyn. Golden yellow flowers with shadings of orange on the 
reverse of the petal. The buds are tapering and when partially 
opened are extremely attractive. The color is rich and glowing; 
this, combined with the lasting qualities of the flowers, makes 
them desirable for cutting and decorative work. 
Olympiad 
Sunburst. Rich yellow blooms strongly marked with orange at 
the center; quite fragrant and very attractive. Needs time and 
attention to become established, after which it grows and 
blooms well. 
Talisman. Brilliant red and gold buds followed by scarlet- 
orange and yellow blooms. In early spring and late autumn 
the blooms are at their best. Talisman is superb for both 
garden use and cutting. Since this Rose was introduced in 
1929 it has become a prime favorite in all parts of the country. 
Ville de Paris. Clear yellow buds followed by extra-large flowers 
of the same color, which do not fade even in ^bright sun. A 
very desirable yellow variety. The plant grows tall and branch¬ 
ing, with deep green, leathery foliage. 
All Roses in this Catalogue are sold at 35 cts. each,
