ALLEN’S NURSERIES, GENEVA, OHIO 
Field - Grown 
one 
Betty Upricbard. A charm- , 
ing type with rolling edges. 
A blend of deep carmine with 
coppery orange, the interior 
being mostly a delicate sal¬ 
mon-pink. 
Dame Edith, Helen. A mag¬ 
nificent, fragrant, full-bodied 
new Rose of many substan¬ 
tial petals which curl back 
prettily, holding steadily to 
vivid pink color, and that the rare 
Rose du Barri shade. 
E. G. Hill. HT. (1929). Bud very 
beautiful; flower immense, un¬ 
usually lasting, dazzling scarlet, 
shading to a deeper pure- red as 
it develops, but never showing purple, borne 
on long stem. Foliage abundant, of fine color. 
Growth vigorous; very free bloomer. 
Etoile de Hollande. HT. This Rose is com¬ 
paratively new and its worth has been realized 
more and more as it has been tried. It is con¬ 
sidered by Rose experts to be one of the best 
red Roses on the market today. Flower mod¬ 
erately double, especially attractive when half blown. 
Its dark red overlaid with almost black velvet shadings 
is irresistible. 
Golden Dawn. HT. (1929). Elegante X Ethel Somerset. 
Bud rich sunflower-yellow, flushed old rose; well-formed, 
double flower, sweetly fragrant, sunflower-yellow pass¬ 
ing to lemon-yellow with age. Vigorous grower; pro¬ 
fuse bloomer. One of the best. 
Grass an Teplitz. Intense depth and richness of color. 
Velvety crimson-red. 
Henry Ford. Fine-shaped bud, opening into good-sized 
flower of orange and copper, turning to light orange 
when fully developed; an unusual coloring and quite 
distinct. 
Joanna Hill. H.T. (1928). Bud extremely large, very long-pointed; 
flowers large, semi-double, full, unusually lasting, moderately fragrant, 
darker yellow than Sunburst, borne singly on long, strong stem. 
Foliage large, dark green, leathery. Few thorns. Growth vigorous, 
upright; profuse bloomer. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Full double flowers; delicate creamy 
white; deliciously fragrant. 
Los Angeles. One of the grandest all-round Roses of American origin 
ever put on the market. Flowers large and continuous, in color a 
flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base 
of the petals. 
Mme. Butterfly. A symphony of cream, pink, apricot and gold. The buds 
are a rich Indian red, yellow at base ; a delightful element in the constant 
mass of bloom. 
Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses 
Field-grown, hardy, 2-year, No. 1 plants: 35c each; 
3 for #1.00, postpaid. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. (Per.). A glorious commingling of 
terra cotta, bronze, geranium-red and dull copper; fine, long, 
pointed buds of coral-red and yellow. Strong, upright growth. 
Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. H.T. (1926). Bud ovoid, opens 
freely in dull and moist weather; flower large, double, full, very 
fragrant, borne singly on long stem, heavily flamed and shaded 
orange and apricot on a dark golden yellow ground, reverse of 
petals often dark bronze and nearly brown when bloom first 
opens. Good foliage. Excellent bloomer. 
McGredy’s Scarlet. Full double, large size and continuous bloom; 
brilliant scarlet-tipped crimson, the base orange-yellow. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). An 
unfading yellow with dark healthy foliage. 
Slender yellow buds opening to well-shaped 
canary-yellow blooms, deepening in the center. 
A satisfactory Rose for bedding on account of 
its fine foliage, heavy growth and wealth of 
bloom. 
President Herbert Hoover. The brilliant new 
Hybrid Tea Rose that has become popular over 
night. Picture the amazingly rich contrast of 
its maroon, orange and gold colorings as they 
merge together in their glorious way. Long- 
pointed buds, tall strong stems and its heavy 
blooming qualities make it an ideal Rose for 
the florist’s trade, and so far it has not been 
grown in near large enough quantities to sup¬ 
ply the demand. Also, it is a fine Rose in the 
garden. 
Radiance. Extra hardy, vigorous and pro¬ 
lific ; one of the best all-around garden 
Roses. Its color is a beautiful blending 
of carmine-rose with shades of opal and 
copper. 
Red Radiance. 
Betty Upnchard 
Big, globular flowers of 
deep rose-red on 
strong canes freely 
produced until frost. 
23 petals. 
Sensation. Bud is 
large, long - pointed ; 
the expanded flower 
very double, averag¬ 
ing 5 inches across; 
very lasting. The fin¬ 
ish suggests rich vel¬ 
vet, in color a scarlet- 
crimson deepened over 
all by glossy maroon. 
The foliage is dark, 
and the scented bloom 
profuse. 
Talisman 
Niagara, Wis., March 15, 1937. 
Dear Sirs: Last year I bought ten Regal Lily bulbs from you and they 
were wonderful. Every one came fine and blossomed, and as that was my 
third trial with Regrals and first success, I was Quite pleased and my friends 
were quite surprised at the goodness of the bulbs and small price for so 
much beauty. Sincerely, 
MRS. NELSON JENKINS. 
Pres. Herbert Hoover
