with gold reverse. Described on page 
38. 75c. 
Cuba. Brilliant orange-scarlet buds of 
great length which open to large, almost 
single flowers of Vermillion and orange. 
A gorgeous bedding rose. 60c. 
"Daily Mail." (See Mme. Edouard Her- 
riot) 60c. 
Dainty Bess. Single pink. Described on 
page 46. 60c. 
Dame Edith Helen. (1926) Wonderful 
pointed buds which open very slowly to 
large, perfectly formed blooms. The 
color is an even shade of brilliant pink. 
Very fragrant. Best results are obtained 
from this rose if it is pruned lightly into 
a tall bush. 60c. 
*Dazla. (1930) Brownish-orange chang¬ 
ing to orange-scarlet. Semi-single bed¬ 
ding variety of striking brilliance. 60c. 
‘Director Rubio. (1928) This rose is 
“different.” The large, thick petals are 
interspersed with short curled ones 
which give the flower a peony-like form. 
The color is warm, rich pink in the open 
bloom and dark carmine in the bud. 
Flowers are borne on strong stiff stems. 
60c. 
Duchess of Athol. (1928) The coloring 
of this rose when open is like that of a 
beautifully ripened peach. The large, 
globular 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.

red. Described on page 37. 60c.

scribed on page 34. Patented. $1.50. 
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. 
Etoile de Hollande. (1919) A brilliant 
red rose with beautiful oval buds which 
open to glorious, large blooms that hold 
their color in strong sunlight, never 
showing bluish tints. More resistant to 
mildew than other red roses. 60c. 
‘Eulalia. (1933) Immense buds open¬ 
ing into large flowers of a lovely shade 
of medium pink with lighter shading to¬ 
ward base of petals. 75c. 
Federico Casas. (1929) This gorgeous, 
new rose was admired by all who visited 
our test gardens. It is best described as 
being larger, darker and stronger grow¬ 
ing than Talisman. It will be a perman¬ 
ent addition to the list of worthwhile 
roses. 75c. 
Feu Joseph Looymans. (1922) Remark¬ 
able for the length and beautiful form 
of its apricot-colored buds and also for 
AN INVITATION 
In this book we try to de¬ 
scribe for you 142 varieties 
of roses, but we know that 
words cannot adequately pic¬ 
ture so many roses. There¬ 
fore, we have planted in our 
test garden 250 varieties, 
both new and old, growing 
and blooming under average 
California garden conditions. 
April and May, just after 
our Spring Bulb Show, are 
the best rose months with us 
but rose lovers will find our 
garden interesting from 
April to November. You are 
invited to visit our Rose Gar¬ 
den at any time to make your 
selection of new varieties 
from roses actually in bloom.

casionally tinged with pink; open blooms 
pure white, large and moderately full.

texture. An old favorite because of its 
hardiness and vigorous growth. 60c.
