BLAZE. Plant Patent No. 10. Climber. Ac¬ 
claimed by the nation and continues to be the 
most popular of all new climbing roses. The only 
hardy, ever-blooming scarlet climber. It has ev¬ 
ery element to insure its success, for Blaze con¬ 
tinues the vigor, beauty, and hardiness of Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber with the everblooming rose. Ev¬ 
eryone of the plants offered this season was prop¬ 
agated from blooming wood, in order to definite¬ 
ly and more quickly reproduce the everblooming 
quality in this rose. Price, (only first grade 
plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38. Is 
today the most popular rose in America as well 
as in Europe. The long, pointed bud, upright 
stems for cutting, a richer coloring and large 
rose differentiate it from Edith Nellie Perkins, 
also blooms more steadily. The color combination 
can hardly be described. An infusion of pink, 
copper, gold and salmon, producing a peculiar 
effect changing as the bloom ages. Price, (only 
first grade plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
ECLIPSE. Plant Patent No. 172. The in¬ 
ternational sensation of the year, awarded 
prizes in Rome, Paris and other test gar¬ 
dens. The long stream-lined bud, enhanced 
by ornamental sepals, is of rich gold with¬ 
out shading. Petals are large and tough, 
but not numerous, averaging 20 to 25, with 
more in the autumn. Speaking of this rose, 
a connoisseur remarked, “Elegance is pref¬ 
erable to opulence.” The name “Eclipse" 
came about because the seedling bloomed 
for the first time on the day of the total 
eclipse, August, 1932, and it will go in com¬ 
merce with the slogan, “It Eclipses ’em all.” 
Price, (first grade plants only) $1.25 each; 
$12.50 ner dozen. 
FEU PERNET - DUCHER. Plant patent 
No. 103. This is one of the most beautiful 
roses we have ever seen. Creamy buds, 
heavily marked with carmine, slowly open to 
spiral flowers of rich yellow, growing light¬ 
er toward the edges, with the edges lightly 
flushed with pink. The Autumn flowers are 
much darker, being a rich golden yellow 
shading lighter at the edges, occasional 
flowers having a decided pink tinge. Al¬ 
though fully double, with 80 to 100 tissue¬ 
like petals, it usually opens to a perfect¬ 
ly formed rose. Tall, bushy plants bloom 
continuously from June until frost, with the 
heaviest blooms and most beautiful flowers 
in early autumn. Delightfully fragrant. We 
heartily recommend this as an outstanding 
rose. Price, (first grade plants only) $1.00 
each: $10.00 per dozen. 
FLASH. In this hardy climbing rose, we have 
a glowing, flashing color unmatched by any rose 
we know. Color is vivid, orange-scarlet with 
the reverse of the petals yellow. Buds are yel¬ 
low with scarlet suffusion giving a suggestion of 
the flashy blooms that are to follow. Price, (only 
first grade plants) $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 
GLOAMING. Patent No. 137. A cut flower va¬ 
riety also of great value to the garden. The

ply clothed with handsome foliage. The plant is
