PRESIDENT WILSON (1918), bright rose-pink, changing 
9.3 to shell-pink as flower opens, petals broad and over¬ 
lapping, with cupped center. The blooms will last a 
long time and hold their delicate coloring until the 
end. Spicy fragrance. Late. L. D. $2.50. 1 yr. $3.00. 
PRIDE OF ESSEX (1916), large cup-shaped blooms of 
8.9 deep shell-pink, suffused yellow from the stamens 
interspersed with the petals. Clear fragrance. Mid¬ 
season. Similar in coloring and habit to Lady Alexan¬ 
dra Duff, but flowers are larger and borne on longer 
stems. L. D. $1.50. 1 yr. $2.00. 
Rapture (1937), very large flowers; the outer petals are 
broad and rounded, the collar somewhat narrower. 
The extreme center is cupped. The color is clear 
white, suffused with a soft creamy light, giving a 
delightful effect. Fragrant. Midseason. Stock lim¬ 
ited. $25.00 each. 
Sarah K. Thurlow (1921), large flowers of faint pink in 
9.1 bud, changing to pearly white, flushed pink in the 
center. The petals are rounded, giving a “finished’’ 
effect to the blooms which is difficult to describe. The 
stems are long and slender but support the flowers 
well. Rose fragrance. Very late. L. D. $1.50. 1 yr. $2. 
THOMAS C. THURLOW (1919). This is another variety 
9.1 of elusive coloring. The flowers are not at their best 
until the plant is well established. Broad petals of 
salmon-flesh, changing to white, and lighted by nar¬ 
row petals edged and crusted with yellow. Strong 
stems of medium height. Fragrant. Midseason. L. D. 
$2.50. 1 yr. $3.00. 
SERIES B 
Prices quoted are for large divisions (L. D.) of at least 
three to five buds and one-year (1 yr.) clumps. 
Two-year clumps, add 50% to the one-year price. 
Three-year clumps at double the price of one-year 
clumps. 
The large divisions are very strong plants that should 
all bloom soon but, of course, the larger sized clump will 
give a quicker effect. 
In this series we have grouped together the newest and 
finest varieties which we have been able to obtain in this 
country and in Europe. We grow and test many varieties 
and those which we consider have merit are propagated 
and offered for sale. As stocks increase the prices are 
lowered as much as possible, consistent with the size and 
quality of the roots. 
Alice Harding (Lemoine 1922), large flowers with broad, 
9.4 rounded guard petals of delicate pink and center pet¬ 
als of creamy-white. Fragrant. Midseason. Good 
form and habit of growth. Lemoine considers this 
his best introduction. L. D. $5.00. 1 yr. $6.00. 
Argentine (Lemoine 1924), large globular flowers; white 
8.7 with creamy center. Broad petals of good substance. 
Fragrant. Midseasqn. Very fine. L. D. $5.00. 1 yr. $6.00. 
Auguste Dessert (Dessert 1920), flowers of rose form 
8.7 with broad, rounded petals somewhat notched, bright 
rose-pink with silvery edges. A center and ring of 
golden stamens light up the flower so that it is 
bright and attractive. An especially fine variety for 
garden effects. Midseason. L. D. $1.50. 1 yr. $2.00.
