ROSE 
Debutantes 
The world’s loveliest new roses make their bow to you here. 
Some of them are being introduced for the first time this year. 
All of them are, as roses go, still newcomers and await your 
invitation to add their beauty to your garden. 
BETTY PRIOR. (1935) Plant Patent 340. Outside of petals dark carmine, in- 
side soft pink; nearly single flowers borne in large clusters. Its contin- 
uous blooming makes it a grand garden rose. 85c. 
BRAZIER. (1936) Buds burnt orange opening to double flowers of bright 
scarlet with orange glow. A showy rose for garden color. 75c. 
CHRISTOPHER STONE. 1935) The most exciting new red rose offered in 
many years. Color is blazing crimson with a velvety glow and entirely 
free from blue tones. Warm, spicy perfume. Buds are shapely and the 
open bloom fairly double. 75c. 
CRIMSON GLORY. (1935) Plant Patent 105. Long pointed buds deep vel- 
vety crimson, very fragrant. Open blooms large and semi-double. $1.25. 
DR. KIRK. (1940) Named for the 1939 President of the American Rose So- 
ciety. An outstanding rose in every respect. Buds are long, shapely, 
orange red; open blooms shade from orange red to coppery rose; far more 
brilliant than Chas. P. Kilham. Bush is extra strong growing and produces 
long, strong stems. The most popular rose in our test gardens this year. RAMON BACH (Plant Patent No. 366) 
Stock limited. $1.50. 

DICKSON’S RED. (1939) A glowing scarlet rose from Ireland DONALD PRIOR. (1934) A semi-double rose of the new Floribunda type producing masses of 
that does not fade or blue in hot sun. Beautiful buds on flowers in large clusters. Bright scarlet, flushed crimson; good foliage. 85c. 
long, strong stems; delightfully fragrant. $1.25, FAIENCE. (1935) Peach, salmon pink and yellow tones combine to give this rose a glowing 
sheen that justifies its name. 75c. 
GOLDEN STATE. (1939) Plant Patent 303. See front cover for description. $1.00. 
LA PARISIENNE. (1936) A fine bedding rose with fully double blooms of warm coral-pink 
which fades to soft China pink in the mature flowers. 75c. 
McGREDY’S YELLOW. (1933) Large, buttercup yellow buds of good form opening to fairly 
double blooms of light yellow. We like this rose for its clear, clean color, healthy foliage and 
robust growth. 75c. 
McGREDY’S SUNSET. (1937) Plant Patent 317. Outside of petals buttercup-yellow tipped with 
orange, inside chrome-yellow flushed scarlet and orange. Flowers double, medium size and

HOW TO HAVE ROSES IN SUMMER 
Roses should be kept growing vigorously right through the summer. It is a mistake to attempt 
forcing them into a dormant condition by withholding water. In late June or early July, remove 
all weak or interfering branches and cut back tops to a uniform height, removing at least one- 
third of current season's growth. Apply a good commercial fertilizer such as Gaviota working it 
lightly into the soil. Follow with a slow, thorough irrigation. As soon as soil is dry enough to 
work, cultivate to a depth of two or three inches, then apply a mulch of peat or well rotted 
manure. Continue to irrigate thoroughly at least once a week. 
Dust or spray every ten days for mildew control. When new buds are nearly ready to open, 
apply commercial fertilizer again. Keep withered blooms cut at all times. 
When cutting roses for the house, keep in mind that this is part of your pruning. The base of 
the stem with two or three leaves should be left on the bush. The firm, plump buds at the base of 
these leaves will immediately start out new growth and will produce blooms in six to seven weeks. 
If a long stem is left, the buds will be weaker. If no stem base is left, new growth will be slower 
in starting from old wood.
