is of delicate rose pink, the outside bright rosy 
pink. As the flower opens, there is a delightful 
reflecting of the petals which enhances the beau¬ 
ty of the pink tones. Growth vigorous; free 
flowering. 
CONDESSA DE SASTAGO. The bud is like a 
ball of gold with brilliant red stripes. When 
fully open the fiery red copper on the inside of 
the petals and rich gold on the reverse makes a 
breath-taking contrast. Here is a highly colored 
rose with an alluring, spicy scent. The plant 
is unusually strong and upright in growth with 
excellent foliage. 
CYNTHIA. This variety is best described as 
an improved Charles P. Kilham. The attractive 
buds develop into splendid full flowers of a rich 
Oriental red color. Its free flowering habit and 
attractive color make it very desirable. 
DAILY MAIL SCENTED ROSE. This exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant rose is intensely velvety-crimson 
shaded with maroon and vermillion. The long 
tightly rolled buds are exquisitely formed al¬ 
though they open rather quickly to an open flow¬ 
er of few petals, which keeps a long time when 
cut. It is a tall, vigorous grower, and produces 
richly scented flowers in profusion. 
DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. During the sum¬ 
mer the pointed buds are a blend of orange and 
dark pink, opening to splendid blooms of cop¬ 
pery-apricot color. In the fall, great brownish 
buds open slowly to finely formed flowers, of a 
luscious cinnamon-peach shade. It is sweetly 
perfumed. Words cannot truly describe this 
beautiful rose of such an unusual color. 
E. J. LUDDING. Deep pink buds opening to 
large high-centered blooms. This rose is a very 
vigorous grower with extremely good foliage. 
INNOCENCE. Huge, single, white flowers with 
immense centers of golden yellow anthers and 
red filaments. A very chaste and lovely bloom. 
IRISH ELEGANCE. A single flower similar to 
Irish Fireflame, but lighter in color. Bronzy pink 
buds, opening with shades of apricot and pink. 
Corsage and boutonnierre rose. 
ISOBEL. Long conical bud of carmine-orange 
opening into a large single flower of clear coral- 
pink. Bush grows tall and flowers have long 
stems. Another of the popular single roses. 
I. ZINGARI. Flower semi-single, orange-scar¬ 
let, continuously produced in corymbs. Foliage 
dark green, stems claret. Especially vivid shade, 
resembling the colors of the I. Zingari Cricket 
Club, for which it was named. 
KONIGIN LUISE. An exceptionally large, full 
double, globular, well built white flower that 
lasts a long time. Of strong, vigorous habit of 
growth. The flowers are carried erect on strong 
stiff stems. A splendid rose for the garden and 
for cutting. 
LEONARD BARRON. Salmon and copper. The 
forerunner of a new strain of roses. The blooms, 
5 inches or over in diameter, and with myriads 
of petals, make this one of the largest and fullest 
everblooming roses grown. The color is salmon, 
copper, and shell-pink, well blended. Its fra¬ 
grance has been defined as red cedar. A won¬ 
derful bloomer. Allow the great flowers to open 
on the plant before cutting, as the buds will not 
open in water. 
LULU. Very long slender buds of coral-apricot 
in profusion. The petals of the buds flare out 
gracefully at the end forming a very distinctive 
flower. Opens to a semi-double bloom of con¬ 
stant color. It is exquisite. 
MARGARET BELLE HOUSTON. Bud large, 
ovoid; flower large, double, full, lasting, fra¬ 
grant, velvety crimson, borne singly on long 
stems. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. The flowers are of 
good size, full double, of a brilliant scarlet, or¬ 
ange-yellow at the base of petals. The color 
varies some under changing weather conditions 
but is always beautiful. 
MME. NICHOLAS AUSSEL. A marvelously 
beautiful rose with a unique color of bright cop¬ 
pery red in a very long, shapely, tapering bud 
that develops into a large, full, double flower of 
exquisite opalescent salmon pink. Growth vigor¬ 
ous and healthy, free and continuous bloomer. An 
outstanding new rose. 
OLD GOLD. Corsage and boutonniere rose of 
old gold color. An old favorite. 
PINK DAWN. Exquisite long pointed bud, 
bright pink with gold at base of petal. Fine for 
cutting. 
SOUV. D’ALEXANDRE BERNAIX. Large, 
cupped blooms, full to the center; of crimson, 
shaded velvety purple. Splendid perfume and 
fine lasting qualities are two of its virtues. A 
good growing symmetrical plant. 
SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. The open 
buds of coral and yellow open to a fully double 
flower of coral - rose - pink, with a satiny sheen 
which keeps the flower “alive” for days. De¬ 
licious fragrance. The bushes are upright in 
growth and the blooms are produced singly on 
rigid, erect stems. 
SOEUR THERESE. Long, pointed buds are 
chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the 
open flower is rich golden yellow and holds its 
color well. Sweetbriar fragrance. The blooms 
come freely on long cutting stems. The plant 
is extremely hardy and of symmetrical growth. 
An outstanding yellow. 
THOMAS A. EDISON. The blooms are large, 
fully double and fragrant. There are two shades 
of pink concerned, a lovely pale silvery pink on 
one side of the petals and just clear pink on the 
other side. It is a big flower on a big strong 
plant. A great rose named for a great man. 
VESUVIUS. The dark colored single rose. 
Bright scarlet-crimson with a golden center. 
Sweetly fragrant, and the flowers last for several 
days when cut. A tall free-blooming bush.

Dear Mr. Henderson: 
This will acknowledge your letter of the 
24th ultimo, enclosing refund on the two “Cbu” 
roses which you are out of. I am pleased to ad¬ 
vise that the roses were received in Oklahoma 
City on the afternoon of the 25th but because 
of bad weather, which included a two-inch snow, 
I did not unpack them until Sunday morning 
the 28th. 
All of them were in excellent shape and I 
wish to compliment you on the fine quality of 
roses that you shipped us. They were so good 
that my next door neighbor asked me to give 
him your name and address and I understand 
he has placed an order with you for some two 
or three dozen rose bushes. 
In this connection, I will appreciate very 
much your placing my name on your mailing 
list for your catalogue as I would like to have 
it before me on any future orders that I may 
place. 
Thanking you for your promptness and cour¬ 
tesy in handling my order, I am. 
Yours very truly, 
Wm. A. Springall
