ROSES 
Our soil and climate are ideal for growing rose plants. Those offered are two years old and 
have been grown entirely in the open ground. They have all bloomed the past season, and with 
any reasonable care can hardly fail to bloom again the first season after planting. 
For more detailed descriptions of the varieties in “General Collection,” see the rose section 
of our Catalogue No. 2, which will be sent on requst to any customer. 
NEW AND SCARCE VARIETIES 
LADY HILLINGDON, 75c. 
A fine, deep yellow variety; buds graceful 
and slender; very free bloomer. Foliage 
narrow; growth free and vigorous. 
LYON, 50c. 
The greatest and most beautiful rose of 
the century. Coral red or salmon pink; 
chrome yellow at center and shrimp pink at 
the tips. 
*PINK CHEROKEE, 50c. 
A pink flowering form of the Single Chero¬ 
kee rose. Possesses all the merits of the 
original. 
♦RAMONA, 75c. 
This sensational and magnificent new 
climbing rose occurred as a sport from the 
well-known Pink Cherokee (Rosea sinica, 
var. Anemone). It is a stronger and more 
rampant grower than its parent, and pro¬ 
duces during the spring and early summer 
months, flowers in such profusion as to en¬ 
tirely cover the plant; in autumn there is 
a secondary crop of bloom. The flowers are 
much larger than either the pink or white 
forms, with brilliant golden-yellow stamens 
and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim¬ 
son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully 
striking and effective; the foliage is abso¬ 
lutely mildew proof, a rich glossy-green, so 
bright that it appears as though varnished. 
“Ramona” will be of special value as a 
garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast. For 
planting on pergolas, pillars, perches, etc., it 
is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in 
addition, it makes an elegant hedge plant if 
properly trained and pruned, affording a re¬ 
lief from the stereotyped hedges, with added 
value of color effect. 
RHEA REID, 50c. 
(H. T.) Rich, dark, velvety red; full, 
double flowers of good form and as fragrant 
as La France. A rose of great excellence. 
ROSE QUEEN, 75c. 
Color is much the same shade of pink as 
Mad. Caroline Testout, with yellow at base 
of petals. Buds very beautifully formed and 
intensely colored; borne on long stems. Par¬ 
ticularly fine for cutting. 
SUNBURST, 75c. 
A magnificent yellow, shaded orange cop¬ 
per; long buds on long stems; flowers very 
large; unusually vigorous and healthy. Has 
scored highest honors wherever exhibited. 
The only yellow.
