EMPRESS. This clean growing new bright rose-pink has shown 
up very well with us. It has excellently formed exhibition 
flowers on long stiff stems. Vigorous upright grower with 
leathery dark green foliage. Very fragrant and a continu¬ 
ous bloomer. 75 cts. each. 
J. OTTO THILOW. Rich glowing rose-pink. Long-pointed, per¬ 
fectly shaped bud with large open flower, high centered 
and double. A vigorous grower, with disease-resistant foli¬ 
age. Free bloomer. Easily the premier among the rose- 
pinks. New canes always breaking from the base assure 
progressive, constant rebuilding of the bush. 50 cts. each. 
MAURICE. A soft coral-pink shading to deep gold near the 
base of the petals. The rounded buds open to very large 
loose-petaled flowers revealing their deep yellow anthers. 
Bushy, productive, spreading type plant with an abundance 
of clean, healthy foliage; very bronzy new growth. 75 
cts. each. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. A great big flower on a big, bushy 
plant. Descended from Radiance and Los Angeles, it com¬ 
bines the best characteristics of both, with large, finely 
formed flowers of rosy mauve with an old-gold base. Frag¬ 
rant and always in bloom. 50 cts. each. 
MRS. W. E. NICKERSON. We have seen some very fine ex¬ 
hibition blooms from old bushes of this variety sweep the 
show in their class the last two years so we again offer this 
old favorite of ours. Large long-pointed buds open to double, 
high-centered, long lasting flowers with chrome-yellow at 
the base, veining out to a rosy-salmon with the reverse of 
the petals orange-cadmium and golden pink. Dark green 
disease-resistant foliage and a fine erect healthy bush. 
50 cts. each. 
RADIANCE. One of the oldest and thriftiest of all the two- 
tone pinks still active in commerce. Very fragrant and free 
blooming. The standard in growth and performance for 
roses. 50 cts. each. 
ROSE OF CASTILE. As far as we are able to learn we have 
the true old Rose of Castile. So many small, old light-pink 
Roses have been grown in California and tagged with this 
name, that we hesitate to assert that we alone could be 
right, but we have sought out the best authoriies on old 
roses to strengthen our conclusions. All through Mexico it 
is highly valued for its medicinal as well as its ornamental 
use. Many plants have been carried here through the years 
by migrating families and not all of these are the true 
variety. 75 cts. each. 
ROSE MARIE. A lovely old Rose of clear rose-pink with splen¬ 
did form and plant of medium growth. 50 cts. each. 
SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. A long-pointed bud of coral- 
pink, opening to a beautifully formed flower with a satiny 
sheen enhancing its loveliness. In some locations here it 
has lived up to the reputation it won in France as the 
most beautiful rose. In some places we wish the stems 
were a bit stronger, but it does so well in others we be¬ 
lieve it worth trying. It is very fragrant and a tall erect 
grower. 50 cts. each. 
SWEET MEMORIE. (To be Patented.) (Forrest L. Hieatt.) The 
color is spinel pink with a yellow base and the reverse of 
the petals is a very pleasing pomegranate shade. The 
plants are tall and erect and continuous all season bloom¬ 
ers. It is very much on the type of Betty Uprichard, but we 
like it here very much better than we ever did Betty. The 
colors are deeper, the flower has more petals and it is a 
much better keeper. We feel from the reports coming in 
that our faith in this rose will be justified. $1.00 each.
