BUSH ROSES 
PINK SHADES 
Impress. A variety that is quite out-of-the- 
ordinary because of the large size and full petalage 
of the flowers, which gives the shape and appear¬ 
ance of a lovely large camellia. The buds are 
orange-red, and the flowers open to a lovely rich 
salmon with a golden sheen. 
J. Otto Thilow. A rich glowing rose-pink flower, 
with long-pointed buds opening out into a beautiful, 
targe, double, high-centered flower with just about 
the most perfect form of any pink rose. 
Lulu. Great quantities of dainty, extremely long 
and slender buds of coral-apricot, with which the 
bush is covered at all times. Petals of buds flare 
gracefully at end. Most exquisitely formed in the 
bud stage is Lulu. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. An Irish lady with a won¬ 
derful complexion. You will greatly admire the 
flowers, of a beautiful copper-orange color, heavily 
flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside. There is 
no other color in roses like it. Buds long-pointed, 
high-centered, and double, of moderate fragrance. 
Growth low and spreading. 50c each. 
Shot Silk. General color effect is a delicate sal¬ 
mon-rose, but with underlying shades of cerise and 
yellow. Quite fragrant, and the unique coloring 
makes it much worth while. Bush low and branch¬ 
ing, with beautiful cedar-green foliage. 
The World’s Smallest Rose! 
ROSA ROULETTI 
A dwarf mature-blooming plant easily covered by 
a teacup; Double pink blossoms no larger than a 
dime; Everblooming, fragrant, hardy; ideal for 
house, gift, or rock-garden. A joy to the shut-in. 
Blooming size, 50c, postpaid. (Plus 3c tax in Cali¬ 
fornia.) 
CLIMBING ROSES 
A climbing rose will produce as many flow¬ 
ers as a dozen bush roses. Most varieties will 
not flower the first year, but practically all 
sorts will yield a wealth of bloom the second 
year. They may be trained against walls or 
fences and many of the vigorous growers will 
climb quickly into the branches of tall trees. 
WHITE 
Mermaid. Exquisitely beautiful single flowers of 
great size, pure ivory white with lemon center. 
Blooms throughout the season at tips of new growth 
and while it may climb, it does best as an unpruned 
rambling shrub. The beauty of its flowers will 
fascinate you. 75c. 
YELLOW 
Cl. President Herbert Hoover. Beautifully formed, 
large blossoms and very fragrant. A charming com¬ 
bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and yellow, 
with broad, thick petals, retained for days after the 
flowers have fully opened. The foliage is clean and 
handsome. 
Marechal Neil. Long a favorite climber, this su¬ 
perb old lemon yellow variety with its large globu¬ 
lar, highly perfumed blooms, still remains deservedly 
popular. Best in shade. 50c each; 3 yr., 75c. 
PINK 
Belle of Portugal. Extremely large flowers, of deli¬ 
cate soft pink, tinged with salmon'. The well-shaped 
buds are often 3 inches long. Because of its strong 
growth it blooms very little for a year or two, but 
thereafter is very floriferous. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A remarkable climbing 
rose, for covering the largest spaces, producing an 
abundance of glorious carmine-pink blooms, coming 
three to five on a stem, opening one after the other. 
Buds long-pointed, and form a large, semi-double 
cup, radiating a delightful fragrance. 
RED 
Cl. Hadley. A vigorous climber with deep crimson, 
fragrant blooms produced all through the summer. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. An intense vivid scarlet, 
semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of 
3 to 20 blooms on long much branched canes, the 
plant being a mass of color from top to bottom. 
The flowers do not fade and there is nothing to 
compare with it for striking effect.
