ALL PATENTED ROSE DESCRIPTIONS ARE THE INTRODUCERS 
ANGELS MATEU. Plant Patent No. 174. Large 
double blooms are delightful from opening bud 
until the petals fall. Its color is exceptionally 
attractive: it reminds one of deep coral, or you 
might call it deep old-rose with a light flush of 
orange. Price, (only first grade plants) $1.50 
each; $15.00 per doz. 
ANNE POULSON. Polyantha. Plant Patent 
No. 182. Large, semi-double Mowers, scarlet 
crimson, scented, in large sprays, always in 
bloom; plants robust and hardy; for mass color 
effect, low hedges or borders. Price, (only first 
grade plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
BETTER TIMES. Plant Patent No. 23. The 
brilliant cerise flowers are large, double and deli¬ 
cately fragrant. Being produced on long, strong 
stems, they are excellent for cutting: foliage is 
leathery, dark green; a very free full bloomer. 
Its success is indication of the name. Price, 
(only first grade plants) $1.25 each; $12.50 per 
dozen. 
BLAZE. Plant Patent No. 10. Climber. Ac¬ 
claimed by the nation and continues to be the 
most popular of all new climbing roses. The only 
hardy, ever-blooming scarlet climber. It has ev¬ 
ery element to insure its success, for Blaze con¬ 
tinues the vigor, beauty, and hardiness of Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber with the everblooming rose. Ev¬ 
eryone of the plants offered this season was prop¬ 
agated from blooming wood, in order to definite¬ 
ly and more quickly reproduce the everblooming 
quality in this rose. Price, (only first grade 
plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
CLIMBING DAINTY BESS. A strong, clean- 
growing, everblooming climber that should share 
the popularity accorded the Dainty Bess bush 
rose. We know of no other single pink climber 
that approaches this for size, beauty, and con¬ 
tinuity of bloom. Price, 75c each. 
COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38. Is 
today the most popular rose in America as well 
as in Europe. The long, pointed bud, i-pri?.' 
stems for cutting, a richer coloring and large 
rose differentiate it from Edith Nellie Perkins, 
also blooms more steadily. The color combination 
can hardly be described. An infusion of pink, 
copper, gold and salmon, producing a peculiar 
effect changing as the bloom ages. Price, (only 
first grade plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
ECLIPSE. Plant Patent No. 172. The in¬ 
ternational sensation of the year, awarded 
prizes in Rome, Paris and other test gar¬ 
dens. The long stream-lined bud, enhanced 
by ornamental sepals, is of rich gold with¬ 
out shading. Petals are large and tough, 
but not numerous, averaging 20 to 25, with 
more in the autumn. Speaking of this rose, 
a connoisseur remarked, “Elegance is pref¬ 
erable to opulence.” The name “Eclipse” 
came about because the seedling bloomed 
for the first time on the day of the total 
eclipse, August, 1932, and it will go in com¬ 
merce with the slogan, “It Eclipses ’em all.” 
Price, (first grade plants only) $1.50 each; 
$15 00 per dozen. 
FEU PERNET - DUCHER. Plant patent 
No. 103. This is one of the most beautiful 
roses we have ever seen. Creamy buds, 
heavily marked with carmine, slowly open to 
spiral flowers of rich yellow, growing light¬ 
er toward the edges, with the edges lightly 
flushed with pink. The Autumn flowers are 
much darker, being a rich golden yellow 
shading lighter at the edges, occasional 
flowers having a decided pink tinge. Al¬ 
though fully double, with 80 to 100 tissue¬ 
like petals, it usually opens to a peiTect- 
ly formed rose. Tall, bushy plants bloom 
continuously from June until frost, with the 
heaviest blooms and most beautiful flowers 
in early autumn. Delightfully fragrant. We 
heartily recommend this as an outstanding 
rose. Price, (first grade plants only) $1.00 
each: $10.00 per dozen. 
GLOAMING. Patent No. 137. A cut flower va¬ 
riety also of great value to the garden. The 
large buds are carried on long rigid stems am¬ 
ply clothed with handsome foliage. The plant is 
vigorous and branching, fairly tall growing. The 
bloom is large and full, well formed and long 
lasting, either in water or on the plant. The 
color is a soft, satiny pink, heavily laden with 
salmon and amber. Delightful fragrance. Price, 
(only first grade plants) $1.25 each; $12.50 per 
dozen. 
LUIS BRINAS. Plant Patent No. 102. Fine 
pointed buds of orange-copper open slowly, the 
petals curling back, making a starry flower with 
a high center, from 40 to 45 petals. When en¬ 
tirely open, the color is soft old-rose, flushed 
with gold. Price, (only first grade plants) $1.00 
each; $10.00 per dozen. 
MARY HART. Plant Patent No. 8. A 
striking red sport of Talisman. The bud 
is maroon-red, opening to well formed blos¬ 
soms of deep velvety blood-red with an 
overglow of amber. Unlike most red roses, 
Mary Hart does not wilt or dry out when 
cut, but opens perfectly. Price, (first grade 
grade plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
MME. COCHET-COCHET. Plant Patent 
No. 129. Coppery pink. Beautiful form, 
charming color, and honey fragrance, added 
to its free habit of bloom, on plants that 
are furnished with a wealth of healthy foli¬ 
age, make this one of the most desirable of 
the Everblooming roses. Long-pointed buds 
of coppery-pink, flushed orange, opening to 
41/4 inch flowers of splendid form. The pet¬ 
als vary from 20 to 40. Price, (first grade
