proof foliage. Very large, very double high- 
centered fragrant flowers of delicate pink. $1.

and prolific. Likes a hot sunny location. $1.00.

old-time tea roses so perfectly at home in Cali-

attractive; the flower large, high-centered, very

The Last Rose of Summer 
The sentiment of rich associations is indeed a valu- OLD BLUSH. the Rose of which 
able quality about a garden and this is a rose that M ti ; ir 
is, perhaps, unequalled in this respect. For Old oore wrote his immortal lines 
Blush is the rose that grew in the poet Moore's 
Irish garden and there inspired him to pen his immortal ‘Last Rose of Summer.’ Not only is it the 
last but the first rose to flower, for only severe cold seems to halt the persistent everblooming habit 
of this appealing Chinese rose. 
PAPA GONTIER (1883)—lIllustrated. One of the leading favorite old tea roses that seems 
happy even under adverse conditions. The rather large, loosely formed but very graceful 
double flowers are of bright pink with crimson reverse and they are borne freely and 
continuously. We have this season only the rare climbing form of this beautiful old rose 
and not many of these. $1.50.

fine bush rose. 85c. 
PERSIAN YELLOW (1837)—WNative of Persia long before it was introduced in England 
a century ago this yellow brier rose is admired today as much as when it was the fav- 
orite of the ancients. A vigorous shrub that grows easily anywhere, its canes, clothed 
with delicate fern-like foliage, bear profusely the small, double, well-formed bright yellow 
flowers that have given this rose its 
name. $1.00.

—This lovely hybrid perpetual was 
famous in old-fashioned gardens for 
its large, full, cupped, richly fragrant

rose with all the grand _ resistant

green foliage; bloom, a double, very 
fragrant buff-yellow flower borne all 
season long. Deserves a place in 
every Pacific Coast garden. $1.00. 
At Rios Silvestres we planted on the 
north side of the house, which is reached 
by little sun, a Reve d’Or which in two 
years, without special feeding or at- 
tention, reached over twenty feet in 
height and width, and blooms all sea- PAPA GONTIER, an old favorite Tea Rose,
