ROSES 
Every home should have an abundance of 
roses, for there is no hardy plant that pro¬ 
duces such a profusion of genuine loveliness 
and rewards the grower more liberally than 
does the rose. Of the hundreds of varieties, 
the kinds that we list are the hardiest and 
most vigorous, as well as the best bloomers 
for this territory.

is even more essential than price. Not all 
nursery stock, especially roses, offered at 
“attractive prices” is profitable to the pur¬ 
chaser. BUY THE BEST, it always pays.

a sun-tan complexion. Color brilliant and out 
of the ordinary. General color effect is intense 
orange overlaid on a dark golden yellow 
ground, the brilliant coloring being intensified 
by the rich bronze veins which stand out over 
the petals and look as though they had been 
penciled on. Bush of medium growth; stems 
stiff and upright. A spectacular rose.

ious rose, wonderfully free in the easy manner
