BUSH ROSES 
REDS 
Christopher Stone. The best new red Rose of the 
year. One of the two best new red Roses of the 
past half-dozen years. Glowing', brilliant crimson- 
scarlet, with deeper dusky shadings as the flower 
ages. It never has a trace of blue at any time. The 
fairly long buds open into magnificent flowers of 
great substance with delightfully spicy fragrance. 
The plant grows, well, too, and has splendid foliage, 
producing freely of its beautiful red blooms. No. 2 
size, 40c. 
E. G. Hill. Immense flowers of lasting, dazzling 
scarlet, never fading or turning blue, but actually 
becoming deeper red as it opens. Borne on long 
stems, and are deliciously fragrant. There are few 
red roses which will rival E. G. Hill, for it is truly 
a magnificent rose. 
Etoile de Hollande. This magnificent red rose is 
ranked among the first three of its color by_ every¬ 
one who knows roses, and many will place it first. 
Perfect buds are medium size, opening "beautifully 
and cleanly into glorious flowers with incomparable 
fragrance. Bush is strong, free branching, healthy. 
Actually has no serious fault. 
Heinrich Wendland. The buds are a deep reddish- 
maroon, opening to fiery scarlet and rich yellow in 
various shades and combinations which vary with 
the weather but which are never dimmed even in 
the hottest sun. Strong grower and always in 
bloom. 50c each. 
Lucia Zuloaga. A semi-double flower of intense, 
lacquer red; darker and more brilliant than Cuba. 
Clean, healthy foliage and a very free bloomer. Bet¬ 
ter for garden display than for cutting. 
Night. One of the darkest of all Roses, deep crim¬ 
son shaded black and maroon. Buds and flowers 
well shaped, quite double, has spicy clove and cin¬ 
namon fragrance. We consider this to be the best 
of the deep dark reds, much better than the over¬ 
publicized Nigrette. 50c each. 
Rouge Mallerin. A new red Rose which does not 
blue. The petals look like pieces of rich scarlet 
velvet, and it has the rich fragrance that all red 
Roses should have. The gorgeous flowers are pro¬ 
duced throughout the season on strong, vigorous, 
upright plants with bronzy young foliage. 50c each. 
Red Radiance. Similar in growth to Pink Radi¬ 
ance, but has big, bold cerise-red flowers which are 
borne on long heavy stems. Most sweetly damask 
scented. 
Victoria Harrington. A magnificent bud and 
flower of a uniform shade of velvety dark red, with 
a peculiar brick-red undertone. The color does not 
fade in the hottest sun and remains the same until 
the petals drop. The petals are beautifully reflexed, 
stems long and stiff, foliage splendid on tall willowy 
plant, fragrance is pleasant. 50c each. 
BABY ROSES 
EVER-BLOOMING BABY ROSES 
Adopt One of These Lovable Babies 
Cameo. New shell pink and salmon, with a glow 
of gold; continuous bloom. 
Golden Salmon. Like Gloria Mundie but does not 
hold color so well in full sun. 
Gloria Mundi. The little double flowers, like baby 
pompon chrysanthemums, have the brightest and 
most striking color in the Baby Roses — brilliant, 
lurninous, orange-scarlet — borne in great clusters 
which almost cover the plant. 24 inches. 
Miss Edith Cavell. Small semi-double : flowers of 
brilliant scarlet-red, shaded crimson. The color does 
not fade in hot weather. 18 inches. 
BUSH ROSES 
YELLOW AND ORANGE 
Cecil. A wonderful decorative, single Rose of a 
glorious buttercup-yellow, often 5 inches across. 
Blooms continuously on densely branched bush. 
Glossy green foliage. By far the most beautiful sin¬ 
gle yellow Rose. 50c each. 
Golden Emblem. The lovely long buds of golden 
yellow are beautifully tinted with crimson on the 
outer petals. Opens to a full golden yellow flower. 
The glossy green foliage is particularly fine, does 
not mildew, and the buds are borne on long stiff 
stems. 
Lady Forteviot. Healthy, glossy foliage. Strong 
grower, and the color is soft apricot-yellow, the 
flowers possessing a rich fruity fragrance combin¬ 
ing the aromas of quince, apple and pineapple. 
Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. This is the most valuable 
yellow rose for the garden. The nicely shaped buds 
and well shaped open flowers are bright canary- 
yellow without other shadings, the strong growing, 
vigorous bush is lavish with the blooms. We know 
of no other yellow rose that we would prefer to 
recommend ahead of it. 
BUSH ROSES 
PINK SHADES 
Dernie Edith Helen. H. T. Free flowering strawber¬ 
ries and cream pink. Perfectly formed flower. Fine 
to cut. 
Kathrine Kordes. This splendid Rose has a lovely 
form, large size, and delicate fruity fragrance, deep 
pink blooms, edged with silver, long stems and ideal 
buds make it a perfect cutting rose. 
Isobel. Largest of the single Roses. Long buds are 
orange-carmine fading to a clear coral-pink in the sun 
when open. Growth tall, the flowers with very long 
stems. No Rose garden is complete withooit this 
beautiful single Rose. 
McGredy’s Scarlet. It might be scarlet in some 
climates, but is a vivid deep Rose here in California, 
sometimes with a scarlet glow in the early morning 
as the bud opens. Strong four to five foot bushes, 
loaded throughout the summer with long-stemmed 
buds, every one long, slender, and beautifully shaped. 
Picture. Rated one of the very finest pink Roses. 
Plant is vigorous and produces one continuous burst 
of bloom through the season, every bud is perfectly 
formed. The pink color has warm undertones of sal¬ 
mon. The flowers a sweet Tea fragrance. 
WHITE 
Caledonia. Unquestionably one of the finest white 
roses grown. Beautifully shaped, long, snowy-white 
buds with a delicious fragrance. 
BUSH ROSES 
COPPER SHADES 
Austrian Copper. It makes a large shrub 4 or 5 
feet high and as much across, _ and although it 
blooms but once in the spring, it is one of the most 
beautiful plants imaginable at that time, studded as 
it is with small, single, 2-inch blooms of the most 
brilliant copper-scarlet color. Do not prune it. Just 
leave it alone for best results. No. 1 grade 7Sc each. 
Autumn. Full handsome buds are a superb burnt- 
orange, the opening flowers heavily suffused with 
russet-brown and bronzy red all over-laid on a 
background of rich yellow in a color combination 
of glorious autumnal foliage. Deliciously fragrant. 
Condesa de Sastago. Its startling color combina¬ 
tion is undoubtedly unique. The large, cup-shaped 
flowers, fairly double and yet not too heavy, are 
distinctly bi-colored, glowing orange-scarlet on the 
inside of the petals and an intensely bright yellow 
on the outside. The tall slender plants are robust, 
and the flowers possess a sweet fragrance. 50c each. 
Hinrich Gaede. Without doubt one of the best 
roses introduced in recent years. Rosy copper with 
brilliant orange tones which hold until the last petal 
drops. Buds extra large, of good form, borne singly 
on long strong stems. Blooms freely and the dark 
glistening foliage is very resistant to mildew. You 
cannot pass this rose without exclaiming over its 
unusual beauty. SOc each. 
Talisman. A vividly colored rose justifies all of 
the fine things that have been said about it. The 
brilliant coloring is a mixture of orange-scarlet and 
golden yellow in irregular proportions. Very double, 
exquisitely shaped, borne on long stems, exceed¬ 
ingly sweet scented.

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.

PINK 
Climbing Cecil Bnmner. This famous climbing 
Rose, with its quantities of perfect miniature pink 
buds and flowers, is a favorite in California. Ex¬ 
ceedingly vigorous, with dense handsome foliage. 
You can cut a bouquet of beautiful buds fro'm it 
almost any time in the year. 
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. 
Clg. Mme. lEdouard Herriot. (Daily Mail) Bril¬ 
liant coral-red buds opening to flowers of flaming 
pink and orange. Flowers are slightly larger and 
more brilliant than those of the bush type and 
equally floriferous. 
Mme. Gregoiro 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 
Climbing Etoile de Hollande. In our opinion, the 
finest red flowered everblooming climber. A strong 
grower, it produces some of the finest big red buds 
and open flowers that we have ever seen on any 
Rose, and the blooms are larger and on longer 
stems than the bush Etoile de Hollande and pos¬ 
sess the same delicious fragrance. 
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. 
Royal Scarlet. HW. A gorgeous member of the Rose 
aristocracy. The glowing ruddy crimson flowers are 
produced in the utmost profusion on every arching 
spray and there are quantities of beautifully shaped 
little buds, 50c. 
YELLOW—GOLDEN 
Climbing Golden Emblem. HT. It produces great 
quantities of the same highly colored buds of golden 
yellow with brilliant red shadings, which are so 
much admired on its bush form. Extremely vigor¬ 
ous, rampant grower, with enormous heavy canes 
6 to 10 feet long. 
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. 
Climbing Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. Few will dis¬ 
pute the claim of Mrs. E. P. Thom to be one of the 
finest yellow bush Roses, and many will place it 
first. We have it now in a vigorous climber, mul¬ 
tiplying many times the number of flawless yellow 
buds which can be produced on a bush type. 
Cl. President Herbert Hoover. Beautifully formed, 
large blossoms and very fragrant. A charming com¬ 
bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and yellow, 
with bro'ad, thick petals, retained for days after the 
flowers have fully opened. The foliage is clean and 
handsome. 
Climbing Talisman. It is difficult to imagine any¬ 
thing more striking than a fence or trellis covered 
with the lovely red and gold flowers of the much 
admired Talisman.
