attain leadership. Appearing here are several roses making their first 
appearance . . . roses you surely will want to count among your 
"debutante" acquaintances. The others, though recent, now occupy 
established positions as popular varieties.

everywhere. All of the "debs" in our list have been carefully selected 
. . . for charm, for beauty, and for individuality. Their presence in your 
garden adds distinction and interest as you will discover every time

Christopher Stone. (1935) The most ex¬ 
citing new red rose offered in many 
years. Its color of blazing crimson, 
which is entirely free from blue tones 
at all times, makes it outstanding in 
any group of red roses. There's a vel¬ 
vety glow to the petals which gives the 
flower an added charm. The warm, 
spicy perfume is just what you would 
expect from a rose of this 
color. Buds are shapely and 
the open bloom fairly dou¬ 
ble. Christopher Stone pro¬ 
duces more flowers than any 
other red rose to date. In

color. 60c.

open field in hot July weather it pro¬ 
duces buds of almost greenhouse per¬ 
fection. Open flowers somewhat lack¬ 
ing in petalage. Color is a good me¬ 
dium yellow midway between Joanna 
Hill and Claudius Pernet. For cutting 
in the bud stage it is exceptionally fine. 
A good grower and a free bloomer.

Faience. (1935) Peach, salmon pink and 
yellow tones combine to give this rose
