Yosemite 
Texas Centennial. (1935) Rose-red. Described on page 39. 
Patented. $1.00. 
The Queen Alexandra. Intense vermillion on inside and old 
gold on reverse of petals, which spring from a deep orange 
base. Its moderate height and free-flowering habit make it 
an exceptionally good bedding rose. 60c. 
Vesuvius. A group of these dark red single roses in our "Old 
Adobe" garden have been much admired. This variety is a 
most profuse bloomer, the flowers often coming in large 
branched sprays which give them great value for garden 
decoration. This is the most fragrant of the single roses. Not 
so tall growing as Isobel and Irish Fireflame. 60c. 
Victoria Harrington. (1931) A Captain Thomas production 
that is just coming into prominence. As vivid red as K. of K. 
but much more double. Blooms freely and is extra good in 
late autumn. Stems are thin and wiry supporting the blooms 
capably. We expect this rose to become very popular. $1.00. 
Warrawee. (1934) Plant Patent 140. Salmon. Described on 
page 36. $1.00. 
Yosemite. (1933) Plant Patent 109. We like this little rose 
very much as it blooms cheerfully throughout the season. 
Buds are beautifully formed, coppery-orange in color, open¬ 
ing to fully double blooms of orange-scarlet. Foliage is very 
healthy. $1.00.

orange streaked with red; the center petals are shaded sal¬ 
mon and apricot. It is very fragrant and an exceptionally 
vigorous grower. 60c.

distinguish this new yellow rose. Because of its height it is 
excellent for background planting. Buds are borne on extra 
long stems; they are golden yellow, sometimes streaked 
with red on the outer petals. Open flowers change to creamy 
yellow. 75c.

‘Souvenir de Mme. C. Chambard. (1931) A lovely rose with 
exquisite buds of deep rose-pink. The open flower is quite 
double with a golden glow shining up through the rose-pink 
petals. 75c. 
Susan Louise. Pink. Described on page 37. 60c. 
Talisman. (1929) The coloring is most unusual, being a com¬ 
bination of gold, apricot, pink and carmine in mingled 
splashes, streaks and blends. It has fragrance equal to Mme. 
Butterfly and blooms as profusely as Mme. Edouard Herriot. 
For greatest satisfaction the flowers should be cut in the 
tight-bud stage. 60c.

MINIATURE ROSES 
After trying to see how large roses could be grown, some 
hybridizers are now turning their attention to growing the 
tiniest roses possible. Miniature roses are very suitable for 
pot and window box gardening, also for rock gardens. 
Tom Thumb Rose. Plant Patent 169. Its introducer describes 
it as "A red rosebud the size of a grain of wheat, a bloom 
that can open in a thimble, a young plant that may be cov¬ 
ered with a coffee cup." Color of the bud is deep crimson. 
The open flower is somewhat lighter with an "eye" at the 
center formed by the touch of white at the base of each 
petal. A perfect, sturdy little bush that blooms from early 
spring until frost. 75c; 2 for $1.25. 
Rosa Rouletti. At a recent rose show a dozen blooms of this 
rose were exhibited in a walnut shell nestling in the heart 
of a Belle of Portugal rose. Flowers are of perfect form, fully 
double, dark pink in color. A very healthy little plant, grow¬ 
ing cheerfully and blooming freely under almost any condi¬ 
tions. The world's smallest rose. 75c; 2 for $1.25.
