stems and open to vivid scarlet blooms with 
large, heavy-textured petals which in the fall are 
veiled with a dusky nap of blackish crimson. The 
alluring Damask fragrance won for this rose a 
$1,000 prize. Plants are vigorous; foliage large, 
olive-green and disease-resistant. More blooms 
are produced throughout the season on Chris¬ 
topher Stone than on any other quality red rose. 
FAIENCE. Two-toned soft peach and cad¬ 
mium-yellow. Faience is the name of a famous 
pottery, noted for its iridescent colors. This 
“Dutch Beauty" is really regal in exquisite form, 
from the long, tapering bud to full petaled, open¬ 
ing bloom. Buds are cadmium-yellow at the base 
which gradually shades to shrimp-pink at the 
edges of the petals. As the large beautifully 
modeled, exhibition blooms unfold, the inside of 
the outer petals is an artistic China pink, which 
deepens toward the center of the flower to shin¬ 
ing coppery rose. The reverse of the petals is 
cadmium-yellow lightly veiled with pink. 
MARGY. This brilliant new rose has a vivid, 
dancing color that sets it apart from all other 
Polyanthas. The glowing scarlet blooms are 
borne all season on symmetrical, upright plants. 
Lovely for “spotting" in front of shrubs or ever¬ 
greens. 
QUEEN MARGARET HUNT. Its pointed bud 
is of spiral form, dark crimson in color, with a 
satiny sheen. The developed flower is medium 
large; the inside of the petals are dark maroon, 
plush-like in texture, and fairly scintillate in the 
sun. while the reverse is satiny. The petals are 
rounded, evenly arranged about a tuft of golden 
yellow stamens, making a beautiful contrast with 
the maroon velvet of the open flower. The blooms 
are deliciously scented, borne both singly and in 
clusters on long stems. The plant grows lustily, 
and is a prolific and continuous bloomer. 
SNOWBIRD. Here is one of the most prolific, 
pure white bedding roses. Deliciously fragrant, 
pure white, perfectly formed, full-petaled blooms 
on neat compact, healthy plants. 
Prices on the following group of roses: First Grade Plants, 50c each; Medium 
Grade Plants, 40c each. 
CATALONIA. Orange-scarlet. The buds are 
deep rich carmine stained with orange and open 
to a 50-petaled flower of glowing orange-scarlet. 
This richly fragrant rose, which originated in 
southern Spain, is the brightest colored of all the 
varieties produced by Pedro Dot. No other rost 
matches it in color and it simply glows like a 
beacon in our gardens. 
CLIMBING DAINTY BESS. A strong, clean¬ 
growing, everblooming climber that should share 
the popularity accorded the Dainty Bess bush 
rose. We know of no other single pink climber 
that approaches this for size, beauty, and con¬ 
tinuity of bloom 
CL. MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. A climb¬ 
ing sport of the beautiful yellow Mrs. Pierre S. 
Du Pont. This is a real everbloomer, the finest 
we have observed in a yellow rose. 
EDITH KRAUSE. Flowers large, double, 
cupped, high-centered, very lasting, moderately 
fragrant, greenish white, borne singly on long 
stems. Foliage abundant, large, glossy. Few 
thorns. Growth very vigorous. 
GOLDEN RAPTURE. A splendid new yellow 
rose of upright growth. The pure yellow buds 
are of ideal form. Beautiful large double flowers 
which last without fading. A splendid variety for 
cutting and for bedding. 
HINRICH GAEDE. Long, pointed buds of 
Nasturtium-red color. Large, double, high-cen¬ 
tered flowers of ideal shape of a color unusual in 
any other rose. A rich luminous vermillion, shad¬ 
ed golden yellow such as is found only in highly 
colored zinnias. A free and continuous bloomer. 
KATHERINE PECHTOLD. Lovely, exquisitely 
pointed buds of old gold and bronzy orange, 
opening into blooms of a lovely coppery-orange 
flushed with rose and gold. In addition to its 
showy color it has a delicately sweet fragrance 
reminiscent of the old fashioned Clove Pinks. 
Thrifty, vigorous, upright growing plant, pro¬ 
ducing long stems for cutting. 
LORD CASTLEREAGH. Single, rich, deep- 
crimson, long-pointed buds; blooms freely and 
continuously. Beautiful foliage, and very hardy. 
LUNA. Moonlight-yellow. An unsurpassed, de¬ 
liciously fragrant cut-flower for the blooms come 
singly on strong, erect stems. The long, deli¬ 
cate yellow buds open to large blooms of moon¬ 
light-yellow which ages to soft cream-white, and 
the petals hold their shape for days. 
MAURICE. A large, highly illuminated flower 
with pink predominant and gold spreading out 
from its center. The large, long bud opens grad¬ 
ually, displaying fine form. 
REVEIL DIJONNAIS. Large, semi - double 
flowers of light yellow with a deep zone of car¬ 
mine, crimson, and scarlet around the edges, giv¬ 
ing the appearance of a red rose with a great 
yellow center. Does best as a short pillar. This 
is the most spectacular climbing rose we have 
ever seen. One glorious flower will pay for the 
plant, and you will never forget the first bloom 
which opens for you. 
ROUGE MALLERIN. Pointed brilliant-red buds 
opening to rich scarlet-velvet flowers which do 
not blue. Old damask perfume. Strong upright 
plants. Continuous bloomer. 
SOUTHPORT. Illuminated single scarlet, per¬ 
fect buds opening to a loose flower which holds 
its color. Always full of perfumed flowers. 
VICTORIA HARRINGTON. Pointed buds of 
blackish red slowly open to high-centered flowers 
of non-fading, velvety dark red, warmed with a 
golden flush in the heart of the flower. Strong, 
healthy plants. A rose of lovely color and in¬ 
formal “cactus" form, quite different from any 
other red variety. The ageing flowers neither 
blue nor fade.
