to a fragrant flower of velvety maroon with sott 
black luster. Strong grower and free blooming. 
Essence. H.T. Double deep velvety crimson, long 
buds, full of “Essence of Rose.” 
E. G. Hill. Immense flowers of lasting, dazzling 
scarlet, never fading or turning blue, but actually 
becoming deeper red as it opens. Borne on long 
stems, and are deliciously fragrant. There are few 
red roses which will rival E. G. Hill, for it is truly 
a magnificent rose. 
Etoile de Hollande. This magnificent red rose is 
ranked among the first three of its color by every- 
one who knows roses, and many will place it first. 
Perfect buds are medium size, opening beautifully 
and cleanly into glorious flowers with incomparable 
fragrance. Bush is strong, free branching, healthy. 
Actually has no serious fault. You can pay fancy 
Brice: for Patented Red Roses and get no finer 
results.

profusion of long-stemmed, glowing scarlet-crimson 
blossoms, very fine for cut-flowers, sweet perfume,

quickly into a good sized, loose, perfumed bloom.

Victoria Harrington. A magnificent bud and 
flower of a uniform shade of velvety dark red, with 
a peculiar brick-red undertone. The color does not 
fade in the hottest sun and remains the same until 
the petals drop. The petals are beautifully reflexed, 
stems long and stiff, foliage splendid on tall willowy 
plant, fragrance is pleasant. 
BUSH ROSES 
PINK SHADES 
Dainty Bess. The charm and elusive loveliness of 
this dainty single Rose have made it the most popu-

Multi-Colors

russet-brown and bronzy red all over-laid on a 
background of rich yellow in a color combination 
of glorious autumnal foliage. Deliciously fragrant. 
Federico Casas. Richly colored buds of reddish 
orange which open to semi-double flowers of cop- 
pery pink with an intense yellow center. Somewhat 
like Talisman but a stronger grower with many 
more flowers. More highly colored than Talisman 
but not quite so double, 50c. 
Talisman. A vividly colored rose justifies all of 
the fine things that have been said about it. The 
brilliant coloring is a mixture of orange-scarlet and 
golden yellow in irregular proportions. Very double, 
exquisitely shaped, borne on long stems, exceed- 
ingly sweet scented.

BUSH ROSES

Roses. Beautifully shaped, long buds are exquisite 
and fragrance is delicious. 
McGredy’s Ivory. HT. Creamy ivory-white, turn- 
ing to clear white as they open; occasionally has a

a delicate Damask perfume. 
BUSH ROSES 
YELLOW AND ORANGE 
Conqueror. Large beautifully shaped bud of rich 
orange-yellow, which as it opens, gradually reveals 
a brilliant fiery flame color shading to base of 
petals. A vigorous grower and a beautiful rose. 
Golden Emblem. The lovely long buds of golden 
yellow are beautifully tinted with crimson on the 
outer petals. Opens to a full golden yellow flower.

not mildew, and the buds are borne on long stiff 
stems. 
Golden Rapture. Produces perfectly formed bright 
yellow buds, a glowing shining rich yellow without 
any shadings, does not fade. Has pleasant fragrance.

Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. This is the most valuable 
yellow rose for the garden. The nicely shaped buds 
and well shaped open flowers are bright canary- 
yellow without other shadings, the strong growing, 
vigorous bush is lavish with the blooms. We know 
of no other yellow rose that we would prefer to 
recommend ahead of it. 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
EVER-BLOOMING BABY ROSES 
Cecile Brunner. The miniature flowers of this old 
favorite, rose pink shaded salmon, fill a niche no 
other Rose can occupy. A strong grower too, and 
always in bloom. 
Golden Salmon. An everblooming spot of color. 
Like Gloria Mundie but does not hold color so well 
in full sun. 
Gloria Mundi. The little double flowers, like baby 
pompon chrysanthemums, have the brightest and 
most striking color in the Baby Roses — brilliant, 
{uminous, orange-scarlet— borne in great clusters 
which almost cover the plant. No. 1 grade, 50c. 
Miss Edith Cavell. Small semi-double flowers of 
brilliant scarlet-red, shaded crimson. The color does

CLIMBING ROSES 
A climbing rose will produce as many flowers as 
a dozen bush roses. Most varieties will not flower 
the first year, but practically all sorts will yield a 
wealth of bloom the second year. They may be 
trained against walls or fences and many of the 
vigorous growers. will climb quickly into the 
branches of tall trees. 
RED 
Clg. Chas. P. Kilham. H.T. A strong grower with 
large full flowers of coral-red flushed with orange 
and scarlet. 
Climbing Etoile de Hollande. In our opinion, the 
finest red flowered everblooming climber. A strong 
grower, it produces some of the finest big red buds 
and open flowers that we have ever seen on any 
Rose, and the blooms are larger and on longer 
stems than the bush Etoile de Hollande and pos- 
sess the same delicious fragrance. 
Flash. (1938) Patent applied for. An All-American 
Rose selection, Luminous orange-scarlet petals with 
gold reverse. Climbs vigorously and blooms almost 
continuously from April to November. The most 
brilliant climbing rose yet introduced. $1.00. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. (Improved.) An intense 
vivid scarlet, semi-double, very freely produced in 
clusters of 3 to 20 blooms on long much branched 
canes, the plant being a mass of color from top to 
hottom. The flowers do not fade and there is noth- 
ing to compare with it for striking effect. 
Cle. Queen Alexandra. Probably one of the most 
popular Roses in the bush form. Now we have it in 
a vigorous climber, Outside of petals old gold, in- 
side bright vermillion. 
PINK 
Climbing Cecile Brunner. This famous climbing 
Rose, with its quantities of perfect miniature pink 
buds and flowers, is a favorite in California. Ex- 
ceedingly vigorous, with dense handsome foliage. 
You can cut a bouquet of beautiful buds from it 
almost any time in the year. 
Clg. Belle of Portugal. Extremely large flowers, of 
delicate soft pink, tinged with salmon. The well- 
shaped buds are often 3 inches long. Because of its 
strong growth it blooms very little for a year or 
two, but thereafter is very floriferous. 
Clg. Mme. [Edouard Herriot. (Daily Mail) Bril- 
liant coral-red buds opening to flowers of flaming 
pink and orange. Flowers are slightly larger and 
more brilliant than those of the bush type and 
equally floriferous. 
Clg. Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A remarkable 
climbing rose, for covering the largest spaces, pro- 
ducing an abundance of glorious carmine-pink 
blooms, coming three to five on a stem, opening 
one after the other. Buds long-pointed, and form a 
large, semi-double cup, radiating a delightful frag- 
rance. 
YELLOW—GOLDEN 
Climbing Golden Emblem. HT. It produces great 
quantities of the same highly colored buds of golden 
yellow with brilliant red shadings, which are so 
much admired on its bush form. Extremely vigor- 
ous, rampant grower, with enormous heavy canes 
6 to 10 feet long. 
Climbing Lady Forteviot. The beautiful glossy 
foliage and golden yellow buds flushed with apricot 
which are so much admired in the bush form of 
this Rose are multiplied in number many times in 
this climber. 
Clg. Marechal Neil. Long a favorite climber, this 
superb old lemon yellow variety with its large 
globular, highly perfumed blooms, still remains 
deservedly popular. Best in shade, 50c each. 
Climbing Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. Few will dis- 
pute the claim of Mrs. E. P. Thom to be one of the 
finest yellow bush Roses, and many will place it 
first. We have it now in a vigorous climber, mul- 
tiplying many times the number of flawless yellow 
buds which can be produced on a bush type. 
MULTI COLOR 
Clg. President Herbert Hoover. Beautifully formed, 
large blossoms and very fragrant. A charming com- 
bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and yellow, 
with broad, thick petals, retained for days after the 
flowers have fully opened. The foliage is clean and 
handsome. 
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps, 
Perennial pleasures plants 
And wholesome harvest reaps.
