FAMOUS CALIFORNIA ROSES 
The following Roses are all exclusive Howard & Smith originations. They are our contrihulion to the Rose world. They are 
Roses which will grace any garden. Many of our older introductions have become world-famous; we are certain the newer ones 
will help to sustain the enviable reputation we have gained as Rose Hybridists. 
Mrs. Georgia Chobe (H & S 1937) 
A Rose of glorious size and absolutely 
perfect form. Imagine a superb Dame 
Editb Helen in a lovely shade of soft, light 
pink, with a vigor of growth and bloom 
production 40 per cent better than the 
latter, and you have it. 
This is a Rose for every garden. 
$1.00 each 
Sungold (H & S 1937) 
One of the most valuable qualifications 
in a Rose is value for cut-flower purposes. 
In this superb new yellow this factor is 
manifest in superlative degree. The stems 
are slender but rigid. The bud is ideal in 
form, long and pointed; the open flower of 
splendid form with a rich, spicy perfume. 
The color, a heart of rich chrome-yellow, 
shading cream at outer edges of the petal. 
$1.00 each 
♦Contrast (H & S 1937) 
(Patent pending) 
A superb bicolor Rose, exquisite in bud 
or expanded; in color unlike any Rose 
grown. Upper surface of petals fine ver¬ 
milion scarlet, reverse or under side bronze 
with old gold shadings at the base. 
A truly sensational color, with buds and 
bloom of ideal form produced in endless 
quantity on strong, vigorous plants. A 
glorious Rose for cutting purposes. Just 
try it. $1.00 each 
♦Crown of Jewels (H cS S 1935) 
(Plant patent No. 149) 
^ e have no hesitancy in stating that this 
is the finest bedding Rose in existence. It 
should be planted in beds or borders by 
itself for best effect, and will produce a 
mass of glorious color for fully ten months 
of the year. 
Plants almost thornless, uniformly some 
three feet high. Blossoms as perfect and of 
the same size as a camellia. Color a lovely 
shade of deep coral Rose. Of exquisite ef¬ 
fect as a cut flower, its brilliancy under 
artificial light cannot be excelled. 
e recommend this Rose for bedding or 
row planting along drives, etc., where a 
constant display of color is required. It’s 
as free in bloom as a Geranium. 
$1.00 each 
Mrs. Lovell Swisher (H & S 1924) 
Long pointed buds, fully double flowers, 
sweetly scented, very prolific bloomer. 
The color, deep coppery salmon at base, 
merging to salmon-pink at edge of petals. 
50c each 
♦President Boone (H & S 1936) 
(Patent pending) 
In our hybridizing effects to obtain a 
race of red Roses which do not blue, this 
glorious variety is a distinct step forward. 
It is a Rose of tremendous vigor, equal to 
Radiance in tbis respect. It bears lavish 
quantities of flowers of phenomenal size 
and substance. In color pure, rich crimson 
scarlet, very double, delightfully fragrant, 
perfect in any stage of development. Might 
aptly be referred to as Crimson Radiance. 
$1.00 each 
♦Carrie Jacobs Bond (H & S 1936) 
(Plant Patent No. 158) 
One of our leading novelties for the 
1934 season and one which, if we may 
judge by the voluntary testimonials re¬ 
ceived from all parts of the U.S.A., is 
destined to find its way into Rose gardens 
everywhere. The characteristics of this are 
as follows: Growth very vigorous, ab¬ 
solutely upright; splendid foliage, long 
pointed buds, a full double flower of ex¬ 
quisite petal arrangement, both bud and 
bloom a lovely shade of coral-rose. 
$1.00 each 
♦Springtime (H & S 1936—Plant Patent) 
Among the large number of Polyantha 
or Baby Roses in cultivation we venture to 
say that for sheer beauty there are but few 
to equal the aesthetic loveliness of this 
truly beautiful Rose. Flowers are about 
two inches in diameter, borne in dense 
heads just over-topping a mound of healthy 
bright green foliage. The color is a spark¬ 
ling light rose-pink of pure and even tone. 
A mass of color from spring to the advent 
of winter frosts. We regard this rose as 
one of our greatest achievements in rose 
breeding. $1.00 each 
Pink Dawn (H & S 1935) 
An outstanding novelty in an entrancing 
shade of salmon-rose, with a commingling 
of bronze and gold at the base of the 
petals. This Rose has been well received. 
Reports from the East, from England and 
Germany and Australia lead us to believe 
it is another H & S Rose that will prove a 
worthy addition to any garden. $1.00 each 
Mrs. E. P. Thom (H G S 1924) 
Rich buttery yellow which does not fade, 
bloom with good lasting quality. 
In the Eastern states it is conceded to be 
the best garden yellow to date. 50c each 
Two Superb Climbers 
♦Mrs. Paul J. Howard (H & S 1937) 
(Patent pending) 
We have no hesitancy in stating that we 
consider this the peer of any red climbing 
Rose in cultivation. Its points are these: A 
very vigorous grower, a bud of perfect 
formation—long and pointed—a giant full 
double flower, fine rich crimson in color, 
with a delicious fragrance. 
Our confidence in this novelty is such 
that after it blooms, if you do not like it, 
return the plant to us and we will replace 
it with any other climber in our collection 
free of cost to you. $1.50 each 
♦Indian Summer (H G S 1937) 
(Patent pending) 
The most sensational Climbing Rose of 
the decade. 
While Climbing Roses are legion, the 
majority of them are sports from ordinary 
bush types and in general have the same 
defects as the parent from which they 
sprung. Our new Rose Indian Summer is a 
line bred seedling, so distinct and beauti¬ 
ful that we venture the prediction, when 
once known, there will be a universal de¬ 
mand for it. 
Its color is unlike any other climber in 
existence. The name is suggestive—won¬ 
derful shades of copper, old rose, straw¬ 
berry pink, burnished old gold, etc., are 
manifest in this rose in the progressive de¬ 
veloping stages of the blooms. Buds of ex¬ 
quisite formation. Open flowers crinkled 
and ruffled. Foliage like leather, absolutely 
mildew-proof. In addition, a continuous 
bloomer and a rank grower. A Climbing 
Rose for the million. $1.50 each 
Fluffy Ruffles (H & S 1935) 
Belongs to the same class of hybrids as 
Crown of Jewels. A cross between a 
Polyantha type and one of the hybrid- 
Teas. This Rose is outstanding for border 
planting in the Rose garden. Produces a 
mass of lovely soft, silvery pink semi¬ 
double blossoms, displayed in compact 
trusses. Try this Rose as a border plant to 
your beds of tall hybrid-Teas and note the 
effect. 75c each 
Los Angeles (H <S S 1916) 
Too well-known to need any description. 
Color, flame-pink toned with luminous 
coral and gold. 50c each
