SASTAGO (Condesa de Sastago)--Still the finest brilliant red and 
yellow bush rose for general garden conditions, with ovoid buds 
and fluffy many petaled very double blossoms. Extremely vigorous, — 
free of bloom, the most vigorous and healthy of the capucine bi- 
colors. Of medium height. | -85 
SAM MCGREDY--An exhibition rose with very big, high centered blos- 
soms with enormously lasting heavy petals. The hue is honey yel- 
low passing to rich cream. This is strictly an exhibitor's prize- 4 
winning rose and is not a good garden variety. Low. 1.00 :

SENATEUR POTIE--Possibly the most vigorous orange rose, with hand- = 
some long buds and a sweetly fragrant double bloom. Color varies — 
from true rich orange in some shade to rich yellow tipped with or- — 
ange in sun. Very healthy, with buds held upright on the ends of 
fine strong stems clothed with glossy bronzy foliage. Med. 1.50 








My vigorous bud~selected scientifically grown plants improve quel- 
ty and color of bloom so greatly that descriptions in this cata- 
logue are not intended te apply to roses from other sources. 
SENORA GARI--For a number of years the richest and healthiest or- 
ange rose. Long pointed brilliant orange buds and big fully dou- 
ble open blooms. On my vigorous plants now a pee perder variety. — 
Of medium height, delicately fragrant. | 1.00 
SIGNORA--Pate 201. A splendidly satisfactory rose in brilliant 
multicolors, with urn shaped buds and large beautifully formed 
fully double open blooms of the predominant color of Mandarin Red 
shading to an orange base. This fine rose has the vigcorous plant 
and excellent cutting stems of President Hoover, with beautiful. 
foliage, making it a top variety for cutting; while its heavy 
bloom makes it also supreme for background beds. The velvety 
blooms are deliciously fragrant, and the plant healthy. Tall.1.00 

The melancholy and destructive practice of "low pruning," or whack 
ing rose plants to within a few inches of the bud, foisted upon © 
us by English practice, is fast disappearing. Moderate pruning,in 
which a minimum of a foot of cane is left, preferably more, eivel 
vastly more bloom and healthier, longer lived rose bushes.
