Mrs. Walter Brace—(Beckwith, 1939)—Long fine shaped buds of vivid cerise on long 
strong stems. Flowers are a deep pink. This rose is a sport of Picture with darker 
colored flowers and larger buds. 
Numa Fay—(A. Richard, 1938)—Large well-shaped buds of pale orange-salmon shading to 
pale pink edges. Open flowers are pale salmon-pink. Bushy, healthy plant. 
Poinsettia—(Howard & Smith, 1937)—Large buds and flowers of the most brilliant scarlet 
on a strong growing bush. 
Raffel’s Yellow—(Frank C. Raffel, 1942)—Large, well-shaped, pure yellow buds opening 
to large, beautiful, 25 to 35 petalled, pure yellow flowers that lighten very little in color 
in the hottest sun. The outer petals of the buds do not discolor or mold in rainy or foggy 
weather like other yellow roses, making it very valuable for the cool coastal regions as 
well as our interior valleys. The bush is vigorous, with new foliage being a bronzy- 
green, turning to a very dark glossy green with age. It is free blooming and resistant to 
mildew and rust. This is the rose so many admired in our nursery labelled No. 21 while 
being tested. 
Senateur Potie—(P. Dot, 1937)—Beautiful, perfectly shaped buds of yellow shaded orange. 
Yellow flowers on medium growing: bush. In cool weather, this is one of the most out- 
standing new varieties. 
Treasure Island—(Frank C. Raffel, 1938)—This is the much admired rose that was seen 
on exhibition in the Hall of Flowers at the Golden Gate International Exposition where it 
won the Certificate of Merit. This rose also won the Silver Medal at the New York 
World’s Fair, Silver Medal at the Portland International Rose Test Garden at Portland, 
Oregon, and many prizes on Flower Shows throughout the United States. 
Long pointed buds of brilliant coppery orange on strong stems. As the flower opens, 
the outside of the petals are flaming coppery orange, shading to gold at base, and the 
inside a beautiful orange lightening to a light salmon flushed with pale pink, showing 
more pink in cool weather. Perfect buds and flowers in all weather conditions. We 
consider this variety a great improvement over Countess Vandal, which is one of its 
parents. It is a darker color and colors well all season, while Countess Vandal only 
colors well in perfect weather. Treasure Island is the most admired of all roses by 
visitors to our Test Garden. 
THE FINEST YELLOW CLIMBING ROSE 
Maid of Gold—(Frank C. Raffel, 1936. Plant patent No. 246)—A yellow rose which gives 
you roses every month of the rose season. This new hybrid-tea climber is our origination, 
a seedling of Climbing Golden Emblem, but grows much more graceful, blooms freer and 
more continually than the parent variety. Has glossy mildew-resistant foliage. The 
buds are golden yellow, splashed with red, opening to large, very double, golden flowers 
with 70 to 80 petals that lighten in color very little in the hottest sun. There is no other 
yellow rose we know of that keeps its color like this one. 
A row of plants of this variety on a long trellis at our nursery is a glittering mass 
of gold in both Spring and Fall, with some flowers during the Summer months. The 
plant seldom produces seed, therefore it is not necessary to cut the old flowers off. 
THE FINEST WHITE CLIMBING ROSE 
Cl. McGredy’s Ivory—(Frank C. Raffel, 1942)—Large, well shaped, cream-white buds of 
soft and delicate tone. Large, full, and well shaped white flowers. 
Prices on the two climbing roses listed above are 75c each; 3 for $2.00; $7.50 per dozen. 
Postage same as on regular bush roses on page 4. These may be combined with other bushes 
at the same prices to make a group of three or a dozen.
