YELLOW 
ROSES 
EVERBLOOMING 
Joanna Hill 7 y he f e c Tm si e e d 
buds are of apricot color with 
just a slight touch of bronze. 
As the flower opens it shows a 
lighter color with sunset shades 
of gold and apricot-yellow. A very pretty rose 
that stands up well even in wet and fogg> 
weather. 
T rrrlxr Willinrrrlrm Makes a beautiful and graceful 
L.aay nillingaon bush. The bu ds are long and 
pointed, their color as well as that of the large double 
blossoms is a deep rich apricot yellow. Foliage very 
good that adds greatly to the showiness of this rose. 
MVc D Q Dnnt Of all yellow roses T believe 
x OIll this is the most freely bloom¬ 
ing. Buds are small but extra well formed, and of a 
dark orange-yellow color that holds well. This is a most satisfactory rose, 
not only for its fine flowers and its wealth of blossoms .throughout the sea¬ 
son, but also for its compact growth; dark green glossy foliage that is not 
attacked by mildew. 
Villo rio Prrric Here is a very large and double rose of a rare shade 
“ * U.XJ.O 0 f sunflower yellow. It does not fade in the open sun, 
and is almost thornless. 
Golden Rapture 
In the bud stage by far the finest shape, of a rich 
shining golden yellow color. Pleasantly perfumed. 
Golden Rapture is the most valuable addition of the Rose list in recent 
years. No extra charge. 
WHITE EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
K H Virtnrirr Pearly white, tinted with lemon in the center Large, 
■ "xLUJIlU fully double, and of perfect form. This rose has long 
been the popular favorite with rose growers, and due to its good blooming, 
pretty flowers and good growth it will always be on top of the list of 
white rofees. 
PINK 
RADIANCE 
f A pure white rose of recent introduction, buds exti'a long, 
opening very slowly. Of the late introductions of white 
roses this is no doubt the very best. 
PATENTED ROSES 
Some of the roses recently introduced were patented by the originator under 
the new plant-patent law. This gives the originator the right to set whole¬ 
sale and retail prices. As a rule p.rices on these roses vary from $1.00 to 
$3.00 each. After having tried sSme of these roses, and perhaps the most 
outstanding sorts, I have reached the opinion that they are not worth much 
more than some of the popular roses, in fact, some of the older varieties and 
some of those that are not patented are as gocd, in some instances better 
and hardier. At 50c each I would be willing to sell patented roses, but at 
the prices that would be dictated to me by the originator, and which would 
allow me a very large profit per plant, I cannot se - e my way clear to keeping 
my customers satisfied. But if you wish to have patented roses, I can get 
them for you, any variety you find nationally advertised, and I can furnish 
them at nationally advertised prices. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
After preparing a large hole to allow plenty of room for all roots, plant the rose so deep 
that the bud just above the root will stand about Linch below the surface of the soil. 
Fill in with a mixture of good top soil to which may be added a small quantity of sand, 
and if at all available mix the soil with about one-fourth Peat Moss which assures 
better results from watering. When the hole is about full apply plenty of water to settle 
the soil, then finish filling up with medium moist soil. Cut the canes of the roses back 
to within 8 or 10 inches from the ground. Bank up moist soil or sand (or Peat Moss) 
to a height of 8 inches, which is to be left over the rose until the roots are started and 
new sprouts appear along the canes. At that time remove the soil or other material that 
was used for banking up the rose. For winter protection cut back the roses in the very 
same manner, and cover them just as suggested above for starting.
