A Favorite Collection, Up-to-Date 
This Year with 8 Newer Varieties 
"OLD ADOBE DOZEN" 
Romance . . . stability. In selecting this group of roses we 
chose those which have proved to be outstanding in these 
characteristics, roses we knew would remain in favor and 
continue to give long years of pleasure in the garden. 
Naturally the association of ideas suggests "Old Adobe" 
as a name, for this famous century-old structure located on 
our grounds at Niles symbolizes the romance of a gay and 
colorful day in California history, and as well, sturdiness 
and permanence. 
Here, then, is a collection that offers you brilliant and shape¬ 
ly blooms produced on sturdy, long-lived bushes . . . quality 
all the way. The beginner will find them easy to grow, the 
more experienced will prize them for their long season of 
beauty, the wealth of their bloom . . . and above all, their 
year-in'and year-out dependability. 
A sound investment—in satisfaction. 
Catalonia. (1933) Buds deep rich carmine stained with 
orange; open blooms fully double. A great rose to provide 
vivid coloring in the garden. 75c. 
Hinrich Gaede. (1931) The big, shapely buds which are 
borne singly on very long, strong stems are rust-red. Open 
blooms are fully double, rosy-copper in color with brilliant 
orange tones and dark veining on the outer petals. Few 
roses bloom so freely. 75c. 
Lucia Zuloaga. (1932) A semi-double flower of intense, 
lacquer red; darker and more brilliant than Cuba. Better for 
garden display than for cutting. 60c. 
Mari Dot. (1927) Growth is extremely vigorous; the whole 
plant being well covered with glossy, holly-like foliage. 
Buds are reddish salmon opening to double blooms of 
brilliant salmon pink overlaid with a coppery sheen. 60c. 
McGredy's Ivory. (1929) The size and perfection of form of 
this wonderful rose are almost unbelievable. It stays in the 
full bud stage for several days, the thick petals opening very 
slowly though it does not ball. Color is a warm ivory that 
is most attractive. 75c. 
Mrs. P. S. Dupont. (1929) Everyone likes this variety for its 
cheerful profusion of bloom. In color it is a dark orange-yel¬ 
low. Buds are small but beautifully formed; practically 
always in bloom. 60c. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (1929) Buds are produced singly on 
strong, slender stems. The color is a glowing combination of 
red, copper and orange changing to warm pink with golden 
suffusion as flowers age. The clear bronze color of the new 
foliage gives the plants unusual beauty in early spring 
before the appearance of flowers. 75c. 
Rapture. A sport of Mme. Butterfly and somewhat darker in 
color. It has beautiful form, exquisite fragrance and healthy 
growth to recommend it. 60c. 
Rouge Mallerin. (1934) Petals like scarlet velvet. Color does 
not fade or blue even in brilliant sunshine. Nicely formed 
buds of medium size opening to fully double blooms. $1.00. 
Shot Silk. Gold and orange buds opening to semi-double 
flowers of salmon rose shot with golden yellow. The clean, 
bright foliage is almost immune to mildew. A good rose in a 
shaded or cold, foggy location. 60c. 
Southport. (1934) One of the finest red roses introduced in 
recent years. Color is bright red with a hint of gold at the 
heart of the bloom. Pleasing though not strong perfume. 
We recommend Southport to those wanting a good red rose 
for cutting. 75c. 
Susan Louise. (1929) A lovely light pink bush rose that is a 
seedling of Belle of Portugal. The very long buds are slightly 
darker than those of Belle of Portugal and are borne con¬ 
tinuously throughout the summer. 60c.
