MRS. FRANCIS KING (Everblooming) Plant 
Patent No. 253. A rose that is difficult to 
illustrate in color, although the color plate 
below is an attempt to present some of the 
attractive features of this delightful rose. 
It belongs to a new race of roses, being a 
hybrid of Nutkana and related to Leonard 
Barron, first of that breed. All hybridizers 
agree that a good white rose is hardest to 
produce. This is probably why such a con¬ 
noisseur as Mrs. Francis King, one of the 
founders of the Garden Club of America, 
specified a white rose as the one she wished 
to bear her name. She wisely wanted a 
rose not easily duplicated. To make the 
problem more difficult, she requested "White 
Gold" with the arctic vigor and hardiness 
of the Alaskan Rose, Nutkana. The bloom 
is very large and full, carried on a long up¬ 
right stem, white at first, tinted cream and 
ivory, eventually turning to pure white, 
with soft gold in the center. It has the 
pleasing fragrance of wild roses and is a 
prolific, continuous bloomer. CERTIFICATE

each; 3 for $2.50.

COUNTESS VANDAL (Everblooming) Plant Patent No. 38. 
See illustration above. This Rose has been acclaimed the 
belle of the modern Rose Pageant, defeating all challengers 
by producing, without exception, the most artistic bud in 
rosedom, garbed in coppery bronze and pink, suffused with 
soft gold and silvery tones. It presents a continuous 
J "movie", developing a new beauty in the various stages of 
development. Constant bloomer all summer and fall. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.

to beat. It has long crimson buds of delightful form, 
developing to very large, delightfully fragrant, perfectly 
formed flowers on long strong stems. $1.00 each,
