New Climbing Rose 
Maid of Gold —(Frank C. Raffel, 1936)—Plant Patent No. 246. At last a yellow rose that 
really holds its color to the last petal and a climber which gives you roses every month 
of the rose season. This new hybrid-tea climber is our origination, a seedling of Climb¬ 
ing Golden Emblem, but grows much more graceful, blooms freer and more continually 
than the parent variety. Has glossy mildew-resistant foliage. The buds are golden 
yellow, splashed with red, opening to large very double golden yellow flowers with 70 to 
80 petals that lighten in color very little in the hottest sun. There is no other yellow 
rose we know of that keeps its color like this one. 
The original plant of this variety growing at our Nursery is a glittering mass of gold in 
both Spring and Fall, with some flowers during the Summer months. The plant seldom 
produces seed, therefore it is not necessary to cut the old flowers off. 
We recommend it as the finest of all yellow climbing roses. 
Heavy No. 1 grade bushes 75c each, 3 for $1.90, $7.50 per dozen. 
Postage same as on page 3. Read page 1 before ordering. 
New Bush Rose 
Treasure Island —(Frank C. Raffel, 1938)—This is the much admired rose that was seen 
on exhibition most of the season in the Hall of Flowers at the Golden Gate International 
Exposition. Greatly admired at all flower shows where it was exhibited. Winning 
first prize for the best bouquet of roses at the New Orleans Rose Society’s rose show 
held May 7, 1939. Also won two first prizes at the Fall Flower Show in Albuquerque, 
New Mexico in September, 1938, one for the best rose in the show, the other for the 
best of all flowers exhibited. 
Long pointed buds of brilliant coppery orange on strong stems. As the flower opens 
the outside of the petals are flaming coppery orange shading to gold at base and the 
inside a beautiful orange lightening to a light salmon flushed with pale pink. Perfect 
buds and flowers in all weather conditions. We consider this variety a great improve¬ 
ment over Countess Vandal, which is one of its parents. It is a darker color and colors 
well all season, while Countess Vandal only colors good in perfect weather. Treasure 
Island is the most admired of all roses by visitors to our Test Garden. 
Heavy No. 1 grade bushes 75c each; 3 for $1.90; $7.50 per dozen. 
Postage same as on page 3. Read page 1 before ordering.

Soil Test Service 
The members of the American Rose Society are familiar with the soil test service of 
Harry L. Daunoy, 26 Farnham Place, Metairie, New Orleans, La. Through this service 
roses have been made to succeed in many sections of the Country where they had previously 
failed. Daunoy has tested soil samples and made suggestions of soil treatment for members 
of the American Rose Society in 40 of our 48 states and in most cases improvement has 
followed. Rose lovers who have not been able to succeed growing good roses are recom¬ 
mended to try this service. Mr. Daunoy has agreed to give Port Stockton Nursery custom¬ 
ers the same rate as made to members of the American Rose Society. Those wishing this 
service send 1 lb. of soil and $2.00 which is the charge direct to Mr. Daunoy.
