CALIFORNIA ROSES, 
INC. 
MRS. LOVELL SWISHER. (3) A California Rose loved for 
its delicate salmon-pink buds and fragrant flowers. A 
constant and prolific bloomer; strong plants with beauti¬ 
ful foliage. 
NELLIE E. HILLOCK. (3) Patent No. 185. A majestic 
pink Rose of sixty petals having good form in all 
stages of development. Bi-colored pink with gold base; 
petals deep rose-pink on the reverse, pearl-pink to silver 
pink on the inside. A seedling from Golden Dawn 
whose foliage it favors. An excellent robust bush; rivals 
Radiance in growth and production. Many new sensa¬ 
tional Roses burst upon the market with a great fan¬ 
fare and soon disappear. They may have color but are 
discarded because they lack the foundation of a robust 
plant. V. S. Hillock has spent years in developing a 
Rose which will not fail in this respect. The huge 
peony-like flowers held erect on long stems are graced 
with ample and even better foliage than that of its 
Australian parent. The fading flowers take on new 
beauty as the gold from the base and the deeper color 
on the reverse of the petals mirror through the whole 
flower. We recommend this Rose. We know that it will 
flourish under conditions which hurt some of the old 
favorites. 75 cts. each. 
RAPTURE. (3) A well known sport of Mme. Butterfly. 
The flowers are deeper pink, but otherwise of the same 
habit as its splendid parent. 
R.M.S. QUEEN MARY. (2-3) Patent No. 249. A charming 
Rose of good form in salmon-pink. Blooms almost con¬ 
tinuously with its long-lasting flowers on strong, erect 
stems. The long buds open to lovely blooms suffused 
with orange. A winner of many medals, and a worth¬ 
while addition to the rose garden. $1.50 each, 3 for $3.75. 
SUSAN LOUISE. (4) This gem of opalescent salmon-pink, 
slender, tapering buds opening to clean shell-pink flow¬ 
ers, has won us completely. It is a bush rose, although 
it has the famous Belle of Portugal as one of its parents. 
It is a continuous and abundant bloomer on tall upright 
bushes, and following the famous Mr. Ripley's lead, it 
is almost thornless in spite of its parentage—"Believe 
it or not." 
THE DOCTOR. (2-3) An exquisite silvery-pink enormous 
bloom, uniform in color both in bud and open flower. 
Its fragrance may be detected at a distance. This Rose 
is regarded as a great achievement in Rose breeding. 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.50. 
WARRAWEE. (3) Patent No. 140. An Australian Rose. 
Long-pointed salmon-pink buds open to an exquisite 
shell-pink with slightly darker reverse; a glorious show 
of golden pollen enriches the heart of the flower. Clove- 
pink fragrance. Healthy, vigorous, and free-blooming. 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.50. 
Pink 
BETTY SUTOR. (2) Pale rosy-pink, heavily veined with 
rose, the reverse is bright pink. Foliage is abundant, 
light green and very glossy. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. (3-4) One of the best loved of the 
old garden Roses. Large, double flowers of salmon, 
suffused with orange on the inside, and coppery car¬ 
mine reverse. Long-lasting flower with spicy fragrance.
