DUCHESS OF PENARANDA 
(P. Dot 1931) ^ .75 
Without a doubt, one of the finest roses in commerce 
today. Duchess of Penaranda offers two distinct 
shades to its admirers. In the spring and summer 
the large pointed buds open to a large, double 
flower of coppery apricot and sometimes showing a 
dark pink cast. In the fall, the color is deeper and 
shows more of the bronzy shades. Regardless of 
when you see it the bloom is exquisite and fades 
but little. Quite fragrant. Not alone is the flower 
beautiful, as the foliage is just as lovely and very 
free of disease. The bush is a very strong, upright 
grower and a prolific bloomer. Excellent in all 
localities. 
ECLIPSE (J. H. Nicolas 1936) $ 1.25 
This rose has won several medals on its perfect 
form. The buds are ven^ long and when the attrac¬ 
tive sepals open showing the golden petals, it is 
very attractive. A prolific bloomer on a strong, up¬ 
right, four-foot bush. Plant patent No. 172. 
E. G. HILL (Hill 1929) $ .60 
A very large rose of dazzling scarlet shading to a 
deeper red. Very double and exceedingly fragrant. 
Excellent as a cut flower. A moderate grower and 
free bloomer. One of the best reds. 
EMPRESS (Chaplin 1933) ^ .75 
A beautifully formed exhibition type double flower 
of bright rose pink, borne singly on a long strong 
stem. A vigorous, upright grower (4 ft.) with dark 
leathery foliage. Foliage not abundant which some¬ 
times gives the plant a leggy appearance. Awarded 
Clay cup for fragrance. 
ETOILE DE HOLLAND ^ .60 
By far the best of the better known red roses. 
A beautiful dark, velvety red that seldom blues. 
Very fragrant and excellent as a cut flower. Growth 
sometimes rather slow the first year, after that a 
vigorous grower with an abundance of disease 
resistant foliage. A prolific bloomer. 
FAIENCE (Van Rossem 1935) $ 1.00 
In Faience we have a rose with a different color 
combination than in any other rose. It is a two tone 
of soft peach and cadmiun yellow. The bud is beau¬ 
tifully formed, long and tapering and is cadmiun 
yellow at the base and gradually shades to shrimp 
pink at the edge of the petals. In the open flower 
the outer side of the petals is cadmiun yellow while 
the inside of the outer petals is China pink deepen¬ 
ing to coppery rose in the center of the rose. A good 
grower, 3 to 4 feet, with large clean foliage. A con¬ 
tinuous bloomer.
