CECILE WALTER--This splendid rose grows in full hot sun, a de- 
light in hot gardens. It has a remarkably long bud, opening to 
a blossom of soft coral pink, flushed copper, overcast gold,much 
the colors that made Los Angeles so beloved that it was widely 
grown in spite of its terrible blackspotting. Cecile “alter, 
on the contrary, is enormously blackspot resistant. Med. oT 
CHRISTOPHER STONE--A nearly perfect rose! Rich unfading scar- 
let crimson, with point bud of great beauty and big delicately 
Waved petals. It grows and opens in any climate, with perfect- 
ly stable color in sun or shade. It is an unbelievably heavy 
bloomer, is sweetly fragrant, and .is low in growth to make the 
finest kind of bedding rose. It is noted among other things 
For keeping the fresh briliiance of its velvet petals until 
they have dropped. ; 285 
COMPTESSE ANNA DU BRUCE--A perfectly formed rose with a point- 
Upright growth and 
very glossy foliage. It requires much light to make the finest 
colors, so its for sunny gardens. Medium height. 1.00 
DAILY MAIL SCENTED--This rose can produce the most magnificent 
crimson blooms that can be imagined. I 
have improved greatly the former weak plant, so that now it 
gives better garden performance than innumerable highly toute 
and lithographed patented roses. I would not describe it as a 
powerful garden performer even now, however. 1.00 

If you wish to enjoy the unusual beauty of the many roses that 
are on naturally small, or naturally weak plants, the method 
is very simple. Such rose varieties should be built up into 
much larger plants by the easy expedients of first, refraining 
from cutting blooms during the plant's very first year, aad 
second by pruning them gently, mostly by discreet thinning, in 
their second year. This plus ordinary good garden cultivation 
Will enable them to make a plant that can then give you cut- 
ting roses of finest quality in succeeding seasons.
