THORNLESS BEAUTY ROSE 
(Plant Patent Applied For.) 
For centuries it has been the dream of every florist 
and nurseryman to grow a Rose without a thorn. At 
last, after years of research and hybridizing, that dream 
has come true. The beautiful crimson-red Roses are per¬ 
fectly formed, fully double and about 4 inches across. 
They are produced freely all summer on good stems and, 
what is more, you can pick arms full of them without 
fear of scratches or torn clothing. Thornless Beauty is 
the world's first recorded Hybrid Tea Rose without a 
thorn. Strong one-year-old, field-grown plants at $1.50 
LARGE FLOWERED 
HYBRIDS 
Each year Ranunculus becomes more popu¬ 
lar as a cut flower. Our Large Flowered 
Hybrids are by far the largest and finest strain 
of Ranunculus we have ever seen. They pro¬ 
duce full double flowers with a blending of 
semi-double and single blooms. They measure 
2 inches and more across and range in color 
through all the shades of red, rose, salmon, 
orange, yellow, etc. Bulbs can be planted out¬ 
side after the ground thaws, or grown indoors 
in pots. Recommended for partial shade. 
Blooming size bulbs, 6 for 35c; 12 for 65c; 
100 for $4.50, postpaid. 
Golden Tree 
WISTERIA 
Just imagine long clus¬ 
ters of golden pea-shaped 
flowers growing on a tree. 
Golden Tree Wisteria (La¬ 
burnum Vossi) is not en¬ 
tirely new but has been 
so scarce that we have 
been unable to offer it 
before. The clusters re¬ 
semble the true Wisteria 
and are produced in great 
abundance. We can offer 
strong stock, 3 to 5 feet 
high, ot $1.50 eoch, by 
express; or $1.75, by par¬ 
cel post.
