“THE BEST IN ROSES” 
19 
SHOT SILK $ .50 
A beautiful combination of orange rose overlaid with yellow and suffused 
with pink. Bush is a good grower with an abundance of glossy, dark green 
foliage. Will thrive in shade. A continuous bloomer with cup shaped, fragrant 
flowers. 
SOEUR THERESE (Guillot 1930) $ .50 
It has a long pointed bud of golden yellow often streaked with carmine, open¬ 
ing to a large semi-double flower. Foliage is medium size and leathery. A 
vigorous growing plant and free blooming. Fine. 
SOUTHPORT (McGredy 1934) $ .50 
Southport in most sections has proven very satisfactory. The bud is long, 
pointed, of a very vivid scarlet with a delightful sheen, the color fading but 
little in the open flower. About twenty petals. An exceptionally heavy bloomer. 
Plant is a strong, upright grower (4 ft.) with reddish green foliage. It does 
mildew slightly in some sections. 
SUSAN LOUISE (Adams 1929) $ .50 
This lovely rose has proven satisfactory wherever grown. A seedling of the 
Belle of Portugal, but a bush rose and a continuous prolific bloomer. Bud is 
long and slender and of a deeper shade of pink than its parent; stems are long 
and firm. Growth is extremely vigorous and practically thornless. No garden 
is complete without Susan Louise. 
SWEETNESS (A. Dickson & Sons 1937) $ .75 
This rose appears to be best adapted to coastal conditions. Sweetness is a 
semi-double with a long pointed bud, opening to a large flower with reflexed 
petals of apricot on a light buttercup yellow background. The plant is a very 
strong grower, with fine foliage. A constant bloomer and fragrant. 
TALISMAN (Montgomery 1929) $ .50 
The color is a mixture of red, yellow and copper in varying proportions. The 
bud is long pointed and opens to a medium size flower of the same colors. 
Extremely fragrant. An excellent cut flower. Growth is vigorous and upright. 
Mildews slightly. 
THE DOCTOR (Howard & Smith 1937) $1.00 
The Doctor is a fine addition to our small group of fine true pink roses. The 
buds are very long and pointed and open to very large double flowers of light 
pink. The plant is a medium grower, moderately fragrant. (Ragged Robin 
root.) 
TREASURE ISLAND (Raffel 1939) $ 75 
This rose has perfectly formed long pointed buds of coppery orange, some¬ 
what similar to Countess Vandal, but more brilliant. Excellent as a cut flower. 
Plant is a medium grower, but like Countess Vandal does mildew in some 
localities. (Ragged Robin root.) 
VESUVIUS $ .50 
Dark velvety crimson with yellow stamens. Excellent in a cool climate. Very 
vigorous grower and a continuous bloomer. Fragrant. Single. 
VILLE DE PARIS $ -50 
An excellent flower in nearly all sections. A large double ovoid bud of sun¬ 
flower yellow, slightly tinted orange; deeper shade in the center and at the 
base of petals. A vigorous upright groAver with glossy reddish green fohage 
that is very free of disease.
