Texas Centennial is a great Rose 
MME. JOSEPH PERRAUD. FIT. (J. Gaujard, 1934.) 
Long, slender buds of nasturtium-orange, opening to 
sweetly fragrant flowers of nasturtium-buff, with a 
hint of pale pink at the petal edges. The flowers are 
immense, and just about the loveliest of all the 
Pernetianas. Winner of the Bagatelle Gold Medal, 
1934. We cheerfully recommend this variety and 
feel sure you will like it. $1 each. 
PHYLLIS GOLD. HT. (Robinson, 1935.) Nicely 
shaped buds of yellow with tints of red open to large, 
fragrant, high-pointed flowers of deep golden yellow. 
Petals of great substance hold their color well. A 
strong, upright grower with good foliage, its pro¬ 
ductiveness and beauty of color combine to make this 
a Rose with a great future. Awarded Gold Medal, 
National Rose Society. 25 petals. $1.25 each. 
POLAR BEAR. HT. (J. H. Nicolas, 1934.) Plant 
Patent No. 132. New type. Very vigorous, hardy 
hybrid of Rugosa, Nutkana, and Polyantha. Large, 
white flowers with a faint blush. Vigorous grower 
and continuous bloomer. $1 each. 
PRESIDENT MACIA. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 
1933.) Imagine the longest Rosebud you ever saw, 
of a lovely shade of pink, marked with heavy veins of 
darker pink, and each of the perfect buds on a splen¬ 
did stem for cutting. If the buds never opened you 
would feel that you had a prize, but they do open— 
to great billowy blooms nearly 6 inches across. The 
face of the petals is pale flesh warmed with a yellow 
flush toward the base, the reverse the rich pink of the 
buds. The blooms are fragrant with a fruity scent. 
The plants are strong and branching, with leathery 
foliage on reddish canes with red thorns. President 
Macia blooms all season but if it bloomed only once, 
we would be enthusiastic about it. $1 each. 
RADIO. HT. (P. Dot, 1937.) Plant Patent No. 197. 
Large, cup-shaped flowers of primula-yellow unevenly 
streaked and blotched with carmine and pink. The 
color varies considerably, giving the plant a delight¬ 
fully elusive touch. An offspring of the popular Con- 
desa de Sastago, it has the same form, foliage, and 
vigor as its parent. $1.25 each. 
R. M. S. QUEEN MARY. HT. (H. A. Verschuren, 
1937.) Plant Patent No. 249. A blending of rich, 
glowing salmon and pink with an orange base. The 
whole effect is lovely warm pink. Long-pointed buds 
and large, full flowers with a delicate perfume on 
plants of good strong habit. $1.50 each. 
SIGNORA. HT. (D. Aicardi, 1934.) Plant Patent 
No. 201. Long bud of warm burnt sienna opening 
to a lighter hue toward mandarine. Plant is tall 
growing, with each bloom on a long stem. Hand¬ 
some foliage. A fine flower for cutting. $1.25 each. 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL. HT. (Dixie Rose Nurs., 
1935. ) Plant Patent No. 162. A sport of President 
Herbert Hoover and identical with its parent in 
every way except color, which is vermilion-red when 
first opening, aging a deep rich pink. $1 each. 
WARRAWEE. HT. (Mrs. H. C. Fitzhardinge, Aus¬ 
tralia, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 140. An exquisite 
shade of pale pink with a slightly darker reverse. 
There are about 25 petals and the bloom appears 
like a glorified Mme. Butterfly. It has the delightful 
fragrance of the old clove pinks. $1 each. 
WEDDIGEN. HT. (P. Lambert, 1916.) Flowers of 
silver-pink with salmon-pink center, in trusses on a 
strong plant of bushy, upright habit. This is a very 
fine bedding Rose, flowering all summer in generous 
quantities. $1 each. 
WILL ROGERS. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1936; dis¬ 
tributed by us in the East.) Plant Patent No. 256. 
The 3-inch open flowers are packed with a large 
number of short and twisted petals of blackish vel¬ 
vety crimson. Wonderful old-time fragrance. This 
Rose is as dark as the so-called “black” Roses and 
has an attractive form which few of them do have. 
Vigorous plants, blooming constantly all summer. 
Does best in shade. $1 each.

veld, 1935.) A climbing sport of the beautiful single 
Rose, Dainty Bess, bearing clusters of flowers exactly 
like its parent, with broad petals notched and fluted, 
of soft flesh-pink, glorified by a cluster of wine-red 
stamens. This is a real everbloomer. $1.50 each.

Sons, 1932.) Plant Patent No. 114. A charming

Nubian is one of our own seedlings and bears a heavy 
crop of large, nicely formed flowers of dark velvety 
red which do not blue. The plants put up 6 to 8-foot 
canes with heavy, leathery foliage. So far it has not 
been remontant. Supply limited. $1.50 each. 
PEGGY ANN LANDON. See page 10. 
REICHSPRASIDENT VON HINDENBURG. CHT. 
(P. Lambert, 1933.) A large, brilliant pink flower with 
a slight overcast of salmon. Extremely fragrant and 
long lasting when cut. This belongs to a new strain 
of hardy, steady-blooming Roses, and whether used 
as a low pillar or a sprawly bush, it will produce 
flowers from late spring until frost. $1.50 each. 
REVEIL DIJONNAIS. LC. (E. M. Buatois, 1931.) 
Large, semi-double flowers of light yellow with a 
deep zone of carmine, crimson, and scarlet around 
the edges, giving the appearance of a red Rose with 
a great yellow center. Does best as a short pillar, 
but can attain a height of 10 feet with careful winter 
protection in cold climates. While we do not sell it 
as an everblooming Climber, we have reports from 
several sources of its ability to repeat throughout 
the summer. $1.50 each.
