Rapture. A sport of Mme. Butterfly and 
somewhat darker in color. It has beau¬ 
tiful form, exquisite fragrance and 
healthy growth to recommend it. We 
like it better than Mme. Butterfly. 60c. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. Long buds, vary¬ 
ing in color from deep coppery pink to 
orange and red. Petals of open blooms 
are pure golden yellow on the inside and 
stained on the outside with copper and 
red. Growth is somewhat dwarf but 
flowers are always produced on long 
stems that are slender but strong. 60c.

Shot Silk. Gold and orange buds open¬ 
ing to semi-double flowers of coppery 
rose shot with golden yellow. The clean, 
bright foliage is almost immune to mil¬ 
dew. A constant bloomer and a good 
rose in a shaded or cold, foggy location.

LANDSCAPE 
ORGANIZATION 
Our landscape organisation 
is prepared to handle your 
planting problems for you. 
It makes no difference how 
large or how small your 
garden may be, we are in a 
position to render you this 
sendee at a moderate price 
in keeping with the type of 
development desired. Ex¬ 
pert assistance results in a 
substantial saving in costs 
by guarding against over¬ 
planting and the necessity 
of removing established 
trees and shrubs that have 
been incorrectly placed. 
“Roeding’s Quality" rose¬ 
bushes are No. 1 grade, large, 
two-year-old bushes. They will 
bloom well the first summer 
after planting. When ordering 
roses in quantity (except on 
special collections suAi as “Old 
Adobe” Dozen, Golden Gate 
Collection, etc., and patented 
roses) deduct a discount of 10 
per cent for 10 to 25 roses; 20 
per cent for 26 roses or more. 
Yosemite 
Southport. (1934) We consider this the 
finest red rose offered for several years. 
Buds are nicely formed and come on 
good stems. Color is a bright red, not 
dark but unfading, with no trace of 
blue even in the hottest weather. Foli¬ 
age is good and fairly resistant to mil¬ 
dew damage. $1.00. 
‘Souvenir de Mme. C. Chambard. 
(1931) A lovely rose with exquisite 
buds of deep rose-pink. The open flower 
is quite double with a golden glow shin¬ 
ing up through the rose-pink petals. 
75c. 
Sunkist. (1931) This sport from Joan¬ 
na Hill has all the beauty of form of 
the original variety but in addition has 
glowing autumnal tints in its outer 
petals that make its name very fitting. 
Those who demand long, slender buds 
for cutting will find this variety most 
satisfactory. 60c. 
‘Susan Louise. (1929) A lovely light 
pink bush rose that is a seedling of 
Belle of Portugal. The very long buds 
are slightly darker than those of Belle 
of Portugal and are borne continuously 
throughout the summer. 60c. 
Talisman. (1929) The coloring is most 
unusual, being a combination of gold, 
apricot, pink and carmine in mingled 
splashes, streaks and blends. It has frag¬ 
rance equal to Mme. Butterfly and 
blooms as profusely as Mme. Edouard 
Herriot. For greatest satisfaction the 
flowers should be cut in the tight-bud 
stage. 60c. 
Texas Centennial. (1935) Rose-red. 
Described on page 36. Patented. $1.00. 
The Queen Alexandra. Intense Vermil¬ 
lion on inside and old gold on reverse 
of petals, which spring from a deep 
orange base. Its moderate height and 
free-flowering habit make it an excep¬ 
tionally good bedding rose. 60c. 
Tom Thumb. Red miniature. Described 
on page 46. Patented. $1.00. 
Vesuvius. Single red. Described on page 
46. 60c. 
Victoria Harrington. (1931) Red. De¬ 
scribed on page 36. $1.00. 
Warrawee. (1934) Long-pointed, sal¬ 
mon-pink buds opening to fairly large 
flowers of exquisite shell-pink with a 
slightly darker reverse. There are about 
25 petals and the open flower is much 
like Mme. Butterfly. Clove-like frag¬ 
rance. Patented. $1.00. 
‘Yosemite. (1933) We like this little 
rose very much. Buds are beautifully 
formed, coppery-orange in color, open¬ 
ing to fully double blooms of orange- 
scarlet. It blooms cheerfully through¬ 
out the season. Foliage is very healthy. 
Patented. $1.00.
