GLOAMING 
(J. H. Nicolas) 
Plant Patent No. 137 
A cut-flower variety which has proved a “winner” wherever grown. Gloaming 
has been enthusiastically received and is already a “must” standby in all gardens. 
A he-Rose on a real plant, it will still be there after the hardest winter, “rarin’ to 
go.” Its large buds are carried on long, rigid stems, amply clothed with handsome 
foliage. The general tonality of Gloaming is salmon-pink, overcast with tawny 
orange, and gold at the base running up the reverse of the petals. £ ac ^ j-j qq 
Open bloom is very large, double, and fragrant. Yes, it is a pink Rose, q j ozen 
but there is no other like it. Gold Medal, A, R. S., 1936. 
GOLDEN MAIN 
(W. Kordes Sons, Germany) 
Plant Patent No. 254 
Came to us from Germany as 
“Goldenes Mainz,” but visitors 
in our gardens shortened it to 
Golden Main. This Rose has 
great vigor and strong, dark foli¬ 
age immune to diseases, a plant 
built for long service. A decora¬ 
tive Rose continuously in bloom. 
Its clusters of large, full, pure 
clean yellow blooms look like 
burnished brass, or dandelions 
in the morning dew. The most 
brilliant yellow among yellow 
Roses. Fades but little in the 
hot summer sun. Cert, of Merit, 
Sangerhausen; Second Prize, 
Rellingen; Silver c ,

great international Rosarian still lives in the beautiful Roses he created.

-presented in this catalog are Eclipse 
(page 7), Mrs. Francis King (page
