Picture. A perfect picture in color and 
form. A pink Rose with a warm undertone 
of salmon which makes the color cheer¬ 
ful and glowing. A strong upright plant 
with fine stems for cutting. No pink Rose 
we know will rate above this one. 
Princess Marina. A new Rose of real 
merit. The colors resemble Mrs. Sam 
McGredy, but are of lighter tones. A strong 
plant that produces the beautiful buds in 
great profusion. The stems are long and 
the buds keep a long time when cut. We 
rate it among the best of the new Roses. 
Red Talisman. A new sport of the well 
known and liked Talisman and like it in 
every way except in the color of the 
flowers. The color is deep orange-red in 
the bud, the open flower being the same 
color but of lighter tones. In the short 
time we have known this Rose it has be¬ 
come one of our favorite reds. 75c each. 
Red Hoover. A new sport of Pres. Her¬ 
bert Hoover, and like its parent in every 
respect, except the colors, which can be 
most nearly described as orange-red, in 
the bud and orange-cerise in the open 
flower. This has made a hit with all who 
visited us this season and we do not hesi¬ 
tate to recommend it in the highest terms. 
75c each. 
Raffel's Pride. A new seedling of Talis¬ 
man that looks good to us in every way. 
The plant is strong and upright and pro¬ 
duces many more flowers than its parent. 
The flowers are smaller than Talisman 
with many more petals. The colors are 
much the same but of darker tones. We 
rate it at the top. 
Soeur Therese. (Sister Therese) The long 
pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily 
marked with carmine; the open flower rich 
daffodil-yellow. Sweetly fragrant. The 
very thrifty, disease free plant produces 
plenty of the fine flowers on long stems 
for cutting. 
Souv. de Mme. Boullel. A very beautiful¬ 
ly shaped bud, opening into a beautiful, 
dark cadium-yellow flower. A glorified 
Lady Hillingdon. 
Souv. de Claudius Pernet. Fadeless yel¬ 
low. 
Susan Louise. A bush Belle of Portugal. 
Perfectly formed buds of two-toned pink. 
Always in bloom. 
Southport. A new red Rose with long 
buds of brilliant scarlet. A strong grow¬ 
ing plant that carries the buds on fine 
stems for cutting. 
Treasure Island. (Raffel 1938) This lovely 
new Rose created a sensation at the 
Golden Gate International Exposition, 
where it was on exhibition most of the 
season. The bud is long and pointed, with 
distinctive shadings of coppery-bronze and 
gold. The plant is of strong, upright habit 
and the perfect buds and flowers are car¬ 
ried on long stems. No Rose we know is 
better for cutting than this one. Stock 
limited. 75 cents each. 
Talisman. A glorious combination of cop¬ 
per, yellow and red. Still one of the most 
popular Roses on our list. 
The long, cloudless growing season, the absence of Black-spot and Mildew and con¬ 
sequently the absence of summer defoliation, the ideal soil and the artificial application 
of just the right amount of moisture, combined with our ultra-modern methods of grow¬ 
ing, enables us to produce a high quality plant in one year that will perform better in 
your garden. No matter how much you pay, the quality of the Rose bushes you buy 
is no better than their performance when planted in your garden.
