WILLIAM E. NICKERSON. We have al¬ 
ways called this Rose a red Los Angeles— 
but the color is not truly red—glowing or¬ 
ange-cerise would come very near describ¬ 
ing it. The bud has everything one could 
ask for—beauty of form and color, and 
substantial petalage that gives it wonderful 
keeping qualities when cut. The open bloom 
maintains good form and color till the 
petals are ready to fall. The bush is sturdy 
and upright and the flowers are produced 
always singly on stiff stems of good length. 
VILLE DE PARIS. Sun-yellow would just 
about describe the color of this Rose—it is 
so bright and clear—and how the color does 
hold up under the sun! The beautiful buds 
and flowers are carried gracefully on thin 
wiry stems and really hold up when cut. 
WESTERN GOLD. (A yellow Talisman) 
Just like Talisman in every way except that 
the color is a good clear shade of yellow. 
Fine for cutting

rights reserved.) This loveliest of all miniature Roses is describ¬ 
ed fully on page 3 of this catalog. 
CL. CECILE BRUNNER. Mult. A strong climber that blooms 
the whole season through, producing great quantities of 
perfect little miniature pink buds and flowers. Much used for 
corsages. 
CL. DAINTY BESS. A single climber that is almost continu¬ 
ously in bloom from April to November. The name is very 
appropriate—the slender rosy-salmon buds are held daintily on 
thin, wiry stems. When open the flowers have broad, fimbri¬ 
ated petals of pale rose. The large cluster of wine-colored stamens add a distinctive touch 
to this delightful Rose. The bush form of this Rose has attained great popularity and this 
climber has all the qualities to make it the most popular single climbing Rose.
