THE FINEST NEW BUSH ROSES ORIGINATING IN 
CALIFORNIA 
In the last few years, many of the best roses for our climate have originated here in 
California. 
Postage same as on page 3. Read page one before ordering. 
Charlotte Armstrong— (Armstrong, 1941, Patent rights reserved)—Long perfect buds of 
a most unusual color of blood red, shading to an orange red near base of petals. Flowers 
are large, well shaped, cerise in hot weather and spectrum red in cool weather. The 
bush is a vigorous grower with fine foliage, and is a very free bloomer. This is one of 
the finest roses ever produced. Heavy No. 1 grade bushes, $1.50 each; three for $3.75. 
Fiesta —(Armstrong, 1940, Plant Patent No. 389)—The most outstanding variegated rose 
novelty. The petals have stripes and flecks of bright yellow on a rich vermillion red 
background. The plant is a low bushy grower, but a very prolific bloomer. No. 1 grade 
bushes, $2,00 each; three for $5.10. 
The Chief —(Armstrong, 1940, Plant Patent applied for)—Large buds of deep rose to flame. 
Open flowers of flame, coral, and copper. Color varies with the w’eather. Vigorous 
growing plant. No. 1 grade bushes, $1.25 each; three for $3.15. 
The Doctor —(Howard & Smith, 1937)—Very large beautiful buds and flowers of rose 
pink. Very fragrant, 6 to 7 inch flowers. One of the finest pink roses. No. 1 grade 
bushes, $1.00. 
Treasure Island —(Frank C. Raffel, 1938)—This is the much admired rose that was seen 
on exhibition in the Hall of Flowers at the Golden Gate International Exposition where 
it won the Certificate of Merit. This rose also won the Silver Medal at the New York 
World’s Fair, Silver Medal at the Portland International Rose Test Garden at Portland, 
Oregon, and many prizes on Flower Shows throughout the United States. 
Long pointed buds of brilliant coppery orange on strong stems. As the flower opens, 
the outside of the petals are flaming coppery orange, shading to gold at base, and the 
inside a beautiful orange lightening to a light salmon flushed with pale pink, showing 
more pink in cool weather. Perfect buds and flowers in all weather conditions. We 
consider this variety a great improvement over Countess Vandal, which is one of it’s 
parents. It is a darker color and colors well all season, while Countess Vandal only 
colors well in perfect weather. Treasure Island is the most admired of all roses by 
visitors to our Test Garden. Heavy No. 1 grade bushes, 75c each; three for $1.90; 
$7.50 per dozen. See page 7 for less expensive, lighter grade bushes. 
Will Rogers —(Howard & Smith, 1938, Plant Patent No. 256)—Large ver}’ double, very 
fragrant flowers of crimson-maroon, shaded black. Plant of medium growth, but a 
very free bloomer. Heavy No. 1 grade bushes, $1.00 each. 
THE FINEST YELLOW CLIMBING ROSE 
Maid of Gold —(Frank C. Raffel, 1936)—Plant Patent No. 246. A yellow rose that really 
holds its color to the last petal and a climber which gives you roses every month of the 
rose season. This new hybrid-tea climber is our origination, a seedling of Climbing 
Golden Emblem, but grows much more graceful, blooms freer and more continually than 
the parent variety. Has glossy mildew-resistant foliage. The buds are golden yellow, 
splashed with red, opening to large very double golden yellow flowers with 70 to 80 
petals that lighten in color very little in the hottest sun. There is no other yellow rose 
we know of that keeps its color like this one. 
The original plant of this variety growing at our Nursery is a glittering mass of gold in 
both Spring and Fall, with some flowers during the Summer months. The plant seldom 
produces seed, therefore it is not necessary to cut the old flowers off. 
We recommend it as the finest of all yellow climbing roses. Heavy No. 1 grade bushes 
75c each, 3 for $1.90; $7.50 per dozen. Postage same as on page 3. Read page 1 
before ordering.
