“THE BEST IN ROSES” 15 

FRANCES ASHTON (Dr. De Puy 1937) $ .79 
This new single rose originated by Dr. De Puy of Tacoma, Washington, is 
worthy of a place in every rose garden. It is distinctly different from any 
other single rose in that it is of uniform carmine color with wine colored 
stamens. The plant is tall growing with fine clean foliage. Very floriferous. 
FREIA (M. Tantau 1936) $1.00 
Here is a fine deep yellow with orange cast at the base of the petals. Bud is 
Jong and pointed, flower large. The bush has excellent glossy, leathery, dis- 
ease resistant foliage. A good grower and consistent bloomer. 
GAIETY $ .60 
A rose with the same parentage as Talisman, but quite different. Blooms are 
quite large and double. The color is orange, Indian red and silver. A vigorous 
growing plant with glossy disease resistant foliage and few thorns. 
GIRONA (Pedro Dot 1939) $1.00 
The more we see of this rose, the batter we like it. The buds are long, pointed, 
of fine form, and are turkey red and golden yellow, a most pleasing combina- 
tion. Very fragrant. The plant is a very strong upright grower, with long 
sturdy stems similar to Pres. Hoover. Disease resistant. Excellent. 
GOLDEN DAWN (Grant 1929) $ .60 
An Australian rose that has proven a success in this country. A sweetly 
scented, very double flower of rich sunflower yellow passing to lemon yellow 
with age. The bush is a very vigorous, bushy grower with an abundance of 
large, clean, disease resistant foliage. Fine as a cut flower. 
x,OLDEN EMBLEM $ .60 
One of the best yellow roses in most sections of California. Rich golden yellow, 
heavily splashed with red. Splendid thick glossy foliage. A strong grower but 
will not stand heavy pruning. An excellent exhibition rose but subject to 
die-back. Advisable to paint cuts of any size with wax or tree heal. 
GOLDEN RAPTURE $ .60 
Tone of pure canary yellow. Best in spring and fall, as summer bloom turns 
nearly white. Bud double and beautifully formed. A vigorous grower (3 ft.) 
with dark leathery foliage which is quite free of disease. 
GOLDEN WEST (Stocking 1937) $ .60 
This rose is recommended as a bedding rose to produce an abundance of 
color in the garden. It is an unfading golden yellow with glossy, disease 
resistant foliage. 
GOTHA (M. Krause 1932) $1.00 
Gotha has been much admired in our test garden this year. The flower is of 
medium size, double, and of a brownish yellow apricot. Stems are strong; 
plant is a vigorous grower with excellent foliage. Fragrant. 
GROOTENDORST (Pink) $ .60 
A rugosa rose used for hedges or as a shrub. A strong growing bush with 
thick crinkly foliage that does not mildew. The flower resembles a carnation 
in form but smaller. Color a bright pink. May be pruned in formal shape.
