OLD ADOBE" DOZEN 
New roses are added to our list each year. Some of them become 
standard varieties after a few years and some drop out to make room 
for other new ones. Those that retain their popularity under the 
stress of such competition are “real roses.” It is from such “tried and 
true” varieties that we selected the roses for “OLD ADOBE” Dozen. 
This is our greatest rose bargain this year. All bushes are our 
number one grade, two-year-old budded plants; the best that money 
can buy. 
Chas. P. Kilham. (1926) Buds are unusually long and slender with high-pointed 
centers. As the orange-red buds slowly open they disclose shades of oriental 
red and rosy orange. When open the blooms are fully double with long, slightly 
quilled petals of dark coppery rose. 60c. 
Condessa de Sastago. (1933) The brilliant colors of this new rose from sunny 
Spain will win your admiration. Inside of petals rosy-red, reverse golden- 
yellow. It likes heat, doing its best in midsummer. Growth of plant much like 
Margaret McGredy. 75c. 
Duchess of Montrose. (1929) The buds of this attractive red rose are ex¬ 
quisitely modelled and of a rich glowing crimson. The open flowers are mod¬ 
erately double and quite large. Delicious apple-like fragrance. 60c. 
Chas. P. Kilham 
Duchess of Athol. (1928) The coloring 
of this rose when open is like that of a 
beautifully ripened peach. The large, 
ovoid buds are bronzy orange ; the thick- 
petalled, double flowers of apricot and 
gold flushed with rose are borne in great 
profusion. Foliage is dark, bronzy green 
and remarkably mildew-proof. We like 
it very much. 60c. 
E. G. Hill. (1929) This is the most un¬ 
fading of all red roses; the color re¬ 
maining brilliant scarlet under hot sun. 
Flowers are fully double and unusually 
long lasting when cut. Blooms are pro¬ 
duced singly on long stems which make 
it ideal for cutting. A very profuse 
bloomer even during the cold days of 
late autumn. 60c. 
Federico Casas. (1929) This gorgeous, 
new rose is admired by all who visit our 
test gardens. It is best described as be¬ 
ing large, darker and stronger growing 
than Talisman. It will be a permanent 
addition to the list of worthwhile roses. 
75c. 
Lady Forteviot. (1928) Form similar to 
Angele Pernet but color is more golden. 
Foliage dark and glossy; bush grows 
well and produces a generous amount 
of flowers; resistant to mildew. 60c. 
Mari Dot. (1927) This rose challenges 
attention by its remarkable vigor and 
beauty. Bushes in our test garden are 
almost constantly in bloom from April 
to November regardless of weather con¬ 
ditions. Growth is extremely vigorous ; 
the whole plant being well covered with 
glossy, holly-like foliage. Buds are red¬ 
dish salmon opening to double blooms 
of brilliant salmon pink overlaid with a 
coppery sheen. 60c. 
E. G. Hill 
McGredy's Ivory. (1929) The size 
and perfection of form of this 
wonderful rose are almost unbe¬ 
lievable. It stays in the full bud 
stage for several days, the thick 
petals opening very slowly though 
it does not ball. Color is a warm 
ivory that is most attractive. 75c. 
Mrs. P. S. Dupont. (1929) Every¬ 
one likes this variety for its cheer¬ 
ful profusion of bloom. It is an ex¬ 
tremely easy variety to grow, the 
dark green, glossy foliage being 
almost immune to mildew. In color 
it is a dark orange-yellow. Buds 
are small but beautifully formed; 
practically always in bloom. 60c. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (1929) This 
lovely rose has attained its popu¬ 
larity solely on its mertis. For ele¬ 
gant, shapely buds it cannot be sur¬ 
passed ; practically every flower is 
perfect. Buds are produced singly 
on strong, slender stems. The color 
is a glowing combination of red, 
copper and orange changing to 
[37] 
warm pink with golden suffusion as 
flowers age. The clear bronze color of 
the new foliage gives the plants unusual 
beauty in early spring before the ap¬ 
pearance of flowers. 75c. 
Sister Therese. (1930) Vigorous growth 
and profuse bloom distinguish this new 
yellow rose. Because of its height it is 
excellent for background planting. Buds 
are borne on extra long stems; they are 
golden yellow, sometimes streaked with 
red on the outer petals. Open flowers 
change to creamy yellow. 75c.
