SPECIAL for $ 5.00 
SIGNORA. (D. Aicardi, Italy, 1936.) Long bud 
of a warm burnt sienna, opening to a lighter hue 
toward mandarine. Blooms come on many long 
stems making it the ideal Rose for cutting. When 
full open there are so many hues and such an ever- 
changing iridescence as to deserve the description 
of “the most polychrome” of all Roses. Plant and 
foliage are unusually healthy. Patent 201. No. 1 
Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. See cut, front 
cover. 
TEMNO. (J. Bohm, 1934.) The largest of all 
the darkest red Roses—a deep, velvety maroon with 
a blackish sheen; very fragrant. Excellent, free- 
branching plant habit. Both the blooms and plant 
habit are far superior to Nigrette. No. 1 Grade, 
$1.50; Extra Grade, $1.75. 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL. (A. F. Watkins, 1935.) 
A sport of President Herbert Hoover with all its 
wonderful plant qualities. The color is blood-red, 
toning to cerise-red in the center. Like the President 
H oover Rose, the bud is long-pointed, flower well 
formed, and borne on a long stem, ideal for cutting. 
Patent 162. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
WARRAWEE. (Mrs. H. C. Fitzhardinge, 1934.) 
Exquisite shell-pink. The long-pointed salmon-pink 
buds open to a perfectly formed bloom with 
spicy fragrance. Plant blooms and grows as 
easily as Radiance. Patent 140. No. 1 Grade, 
$1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25.
