CALIFORNIA NURSERNFO:. nit.. NIL ES. CALIFORNIA 
J. B. Clark. (H. Dickson. 1905.) Scarlet shaded 
crimson in spring, but brilliant red in fall. Very 
large, nearly semi-double, opening widely to show 
the deep yellow stamens, which contrast well with 
the petals. Fragrance rich. Growth very strong 
and remarkably spreading. 
John Cuff. (A. Dickson. 1908.) Carmine pink. 
Flowers are very large, loose and with enormous 
petals, about the largest we have ever seen in a 
rose. Free bloomer with a remarkably profuse 
spring crop. 
Jonkheer J. L. Mock. (Leenders. 1910.) Carmine 
and flesh pink. Has the wonderful two-toned petal 
effect shared by but two or three others. The 
inside of each petal is a soft, pearly blush, while 
the outside is bright carmine rose. As the flower 
opens, the outer portion shows the former shade 
and the high center the latter. Each petal just 
as it starts to curve away from center will show 
both tones in a way that is truly charming. Flow¬ 
ers are large, beautifully formed, very fragrant 
and borne on splendid strong, stiff stems. Will 
rank among the best. 
Joseph Hill. (Pernet-Ducher. 1904.) Pink shaded 
salmon. Buds long, flowers large, full and well- 
formed. Very fine. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. (Lambert, 1891.) 
White faintly suffused lemon yellow. Almost uni¬ 
versally known in California and easily the most 
popular white variety in this division. Flowers are 
large, very full and beautifully formed, with re¬ 
flexed outer petals. Bush is vigorous and healthy. 
Killarney. (A. Dickson, 1898.) Flesh suffused 
pink. Semi-double. Buds long pointed and very 
beautiful. Free blooming. Very fragrant. 
La Detroit. (Breitmeyer, 1904.) Shell pink tinted 
soft rose. Color very pleasing and does not fade. 
Beautiful both in bud and when open. Free 
bloomer. 
Lady Battersea. (Paul, 1901.) Brilliant cherry 
crimson. Often called “Red Kaiserin. ' but does 
not need the assistance of any other variety. The 
color is beautiful and striking, buds and flowers 
well formed; free blooming and of vigorous growth. 
Even with all the above its best point is its habit 
of producing flowers on long, strong, almost bare 
stems far above the foliage, where they stand out 
most strikingly. 
Lady Dunleath. (A. Dickson, 1913.) Pale yellow 
with deep golden center. Not among the big. bold, 
striking roses, but nevertheless one of the very 
finest in our collection. It is surpassingly graceful 
and dainty at every stage. The buds are remark¬ 
ably long pointed and slender, with noticeably elon¬ 
gated. narrow sepals. Open flowers are cupped 
and as the bloom expands the color greatly deep¬ 
ens. Stems are very long and slender, but strong 
enough to carry the flowers. Free blooming and 
delightfully fragrant. 
Lady Ursula. (A. Dickson. 1908.) Flesh pink. 
Flowers large, full and beautifully formed; center 
high with reflexed petals. Tea scented. 
La France. (Guillot, 1867.) Pink, tinted silvery 
blush. Flowers large and borne freely. Delight¬ 
fully fragrant, excelling nearly all others in this 
respect. One of the great favorites. 
Liberty. (A. Dickson. 1900.) Crimson scarlet. A 
fine, free, continuous bloomer. Flowers medium 
sized, well formed and richly colored. Excellent 
for forcing as well as for planting out. A fine “all- 
around” variety. 
Madame Abel Chatenay. (Pernet-Ducher, 1895.) 
Rosy carmine tinted salmon. Flowers are large, 
exquisitely formed and charmingly colored. Bush 
is vigorous, with rich, heavy, dark foliage. Very 
free flowering. Particularly fine. 
Madame Caroline Testout. (Pernet-Ducher. 1890.) 
Bright pink. Almost too well known on the Pacific 
Coast to require description. The official city flower 
of Portland. Flowers of the largest size and beau¬ 
tifully formed. Free blooming, vigorous and 
healthy. 
-Madame Driout or Striped Reine Marie-Henri- 
ette. (Thiriat, 1904.) Deep rose, striped cherry 
red. As good as Reine Marie-Henriette in every 
respect. The striping is delicate, but conspicuous. 
Madame Hector Leuillot. (Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) 
Light yellow with carmine center. Color variable; 
♦Varieties starred are climbers. 
best in fall. Buds long, petals large. Flowers full 
and well formed. 
Madame Jenny Gillemot. (Pernet-Ducher,1905.) 
Canary yellow. Saffron in bud, becoming lighter 
as it opens. Buds long, flowers large, cupped and 
well formed. 
Madame Leon Pain. (Guillot, 1904.) Silvery 
pink, sometimes shaded salmon. Buds pointed, 
flowers large and cupped. Blooms freely. Bush is 
excellent, with plenty of dark, glossy foliage. 
Madame Ravary. (Pernet-Ducher, 1S99.) Or¬ 
ange yellow tinted flesh and creamy buff. Color 
hard to describe, but very fine. Buds are coppery, 
short pointed. Flowers spreading. cup-shape, 
double, richly fragrant. Not a strong grower, but 
blooms freely. 
-Madame Wagram. (Bernaix. 1895.) Pink. Called 
Climbing Paul Neyron. but while a good variety 
with large flowers, it is not entitled to the latter 
name, having no resemblance to Paul Neyron. 
Marcella. (Paul, 1913.) Salmon flesh. Buds 
buff. Large, well formed and handsome. Growth 
strong and erect. Free and continuous bloomer. 
Good for cutting. 
Marquise de Sinety. (Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) Yel¬ 
low flushed orange. Buds are very deep golden 
yellow; pointed. Open flower cupped, with high 
center. Petals large and crisp. Fragrance rich. 
Stems very strong, but often curiously curved. 
Foliage very dark and handsome. Ranks very 
high. 
Melody. (A. Dickson, 1911.) Saffron yellow 
with primrose edges and tips. Flowers are of 
medium size, sometimes very large, particularly in 
fall; very double, but always opening freely into 
a lovely flower with reflexed outer petals and fine 
center. The fragrance is delightfully rich, prob¬ 
ably unexcelled. Plant grows vigorously, has very 
dark green foliage, which is violet when young and 
mildew proof at all stages. Stems are splendid, 
long and slender, but stiff. In all it comes pretty 
close to perfection as a rose and is a remarkably 
free bloomer, too. 
Milady. (Pierson. 1913.) Crimson scarlet. Color 
similar to Richmond. Flowers large, full and well 
formed, carried on good, stiff stems. 
Mildred Grant. (A. Dickson, 1901.) Silvery 
white flushed delicate pink. By far the largest 
variety in this section and easily the largest rose 
of good form. In spite of their great size and 
weight, the flowers are borne perfectly erect, as 
stems are amply stiff and strong. There is nothing 
coarse about it as with some large kinds. Its 
only drawback is a susceptibility to mildew r , but 
fortunately that is easily checked and magnificent 
blooms can be grown. 
Miss Kate Moulton. (Hill, 1907.) Pink, tinted 
silvery flesh. Almost faultlessly formed. Outer 
petals very large and most strongly reflexed, while 
inner petals maintain a high, pointed center. Quite 
a free bloomer. Superlative in form and excellent 
in other respects. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher. 1907.) Yel¬ 
low, tinted salmon rose. Color variable. In spring 
it is nearly white outside, with blush or light 
salmon center. In fall the color deepens to a good 
yellow. Very handsomely formed and carried on 
strong stems. 
Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell. (Pernet-Ducher, 
1908.) Orange pink or reddish salmon, outer petals 
flesh. Of medium size and semi-double. Highly 
colored and very free blooming. Foliage dark, 
glossy green. Growth moderate. 
Mrs. Charles Hunter. (Paul, 1912.) Cerise, nearly 
red. Buds short pointed; open flowers have ail 
petals reflexed. Stems carry flowers perfectly erect. 
Very free blooming both spring and fall. Growth 
moderate, freely branching. 
Mrs. Charles Russell. (Montgomery, 1912.) Rosy 
carmine with scarlet center. One of the very best 
and of American origin. Color is brilliant and 
pleasing. Flower is beautifully formed, with petals 
of wonderful substance. The stems could not be 
better and flowers always come singly. Simply 
grand as a cut flower. 
Mrs. David Jardine. (A. Dickson. 1908.) Bright 
rose pink, faintly suffused salmon. Large and very 
beautifully formed both in bud and fully opened 
flower, which retains its form to the very last. An 
unusual feature is that every petal is slightly 
frilled or wavy on the edges. Flowers come singly 
on tine, long, strong stems. Very fine.
