RECENT INTRODUCTIONS AND RARE VARIETIES 
The following small but choice list includes new varieties and some older sorts whose 
worth has been just recently recognized* 
Most of these new sorts are in the new copper and orange shades, while some are reds 
and pinks. All have been tried here and, given the proper attention, will grow and bloom 
equally as well as the more common varieties. 
AMI QUINARD. Black-lustered red. Blackish 
buds open to semi-double flowers of velvety 
crimson-maroon with a soft black luster; in¬ 
stead of fading, the petals get darker as the 
bloom ages. It has splendid old-time Rose 
fragrance. Strong, upright plant. We con¬ 
sider it one of our finest Roses. It is our de¬ 
pendable Black Rose. 
Price .$1.00 
CATALONIA. Vermilion. This child of two of 
the loveliest Roses ever grown (Shot Silk and 
Mari Dot) has brought a new color to Roses. 
Catalonia's coloring is so vivid, so different, 
that we are at a loss for words to describe it 
properly. The buds are deep, rich carmine 
stained with orange, and open to a 50-petaled 
flower of velvety orange-scarlet, vermilion, to 
cochineal-red, most vivid. Flowers have a 
rich, fruity fragrance. The plants are of only 
medium height but bushy. 
Price ..$1.00 
CATHERINE KORDES. Extremely long buds, 
lasting when cut. Large pointed buds and 
double blooms of scarlet, toned pink, a good 
grower with long stemmed blooms. 
Price .$1.00 
CONDESA DE SASTAGO. Copper and yel¬ 
low. This Spanish novelty is the first double 
(50 petals) Rose to carry the vivid colors of 
the brilliant species Rose, Austrian Copper. 
The bud is like a ball of gold with brilliant 
red stripes. When fully open the alternating 
colors are evenly divided. Here is a highly 
colored Rose with an alluring spicy scent. 
The plant is unusually strong and upright in 
growth, with foliage well up on the flower- 
stem.

COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38. Is 
today the most popular rose in America as 
well as in Europe. The long pointed bud, up¬ 
right stems for cutting, a richer coloring and 
large Rose differentiate it from Edith Nellie 
Perkins, also blooms more steadily. The color 
combination can hardly be described, a sup¬ 
erposition of pink, copper, gold and salmon 
producing a peculiar effect changing as the 
bloom ages. 
Price .$1.25 
(No quantity discounts can be allowed 
on this Rose.) 
CYNTHIA. Color comparable to Chas. P. Kil- 
ham. Beautiful buds of Copper Red shading 
through rich orange to gold at base of petals. 
Strong grower with dark foliage. 
Price .$1.00 
DAINTY BESS. A remarkable upright-growing 
variety with large, handsome flowers, the 
petals occasionally fluted or notched and car¬ 
ried in an odd tricky manner that gives them 
a curious squarish shape. The color is a 
dull old-rose on the back and soft flesh-pink 
in the center illuminated with brilliant maroon 
stamens. Six petals. 
Price. Each .$1.00 
DAVID O. DODD. One of the newest and 
best of the rich deep scarlet Roses. Blooms 
are large and lasting. Strong growth and 
fine foliage. 
Price .$1.00 
DIRECTOR RUBIO. One of the most striking 
Roses we have ever known, and the largest 
Rose blooms we have ever seen. One flower 
we saw measured 7 Vz inches in diameter; 
you can imagine the size of the buds. The 
color is cochineal-pink, but that does not de¬ 
scribe the brilliance and beauty of the flower 
at all stages from the mammoth, long-pointed 
bud to the loose, ruffled, open flower, and it 
doesn't fade. The plant is hardly of average 
height but is extra sturdy, and the flowers 
are held rigidly erect on stout stems. Mild 
fragrance. 
Price .$1.00 
DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. Coppery apri¬ 
cot. This Rose produces two distinct types of 
flowers. During the summer the pointed buds 
are a blend of apricot-orange and dark pink, 
Note —The prices shown in this book are for roses planted and growing in Cloverset Pots. Up to April

than these printed prices.
