PORT STOCKTON NURSERY ROSES EOE aa? ge een OME ees CrARin ATL ONG: 

President Plumecocq—Coppery yellow buds opening to flowers of salmon yellow on long 
stems. One of the finest roses of this color. 
Princess Marina—(H. Robinson, 1936)—Delicate apricot shaded and heavily veined salmon, 
the coppery outer petals stained crimson in the bud. Long perfect shaped buds and 
flowers on long stems. This new rose is an improvement over Mrs. Sam McGredy as it 
has a more beautiful color, and the bush is a stronger grower. We believe this is one of 
the finest new roses. 
Raffel’s Pride—(Frank C. Raffel, 1937)—Small beautifully shaped buds of red and gold 
opening to flowers of oriental red on the inside of the petals and gold splashed with red 
on the outside, the red lightening to pink and the gold to yellow with age. This new rose 
is a seedling of Talisman but has much darker colorings. Not much more than two- 
thirds the size but has more petals and produces twice as many flowers. Seldom has more 
than one flower to each stem. Buds open slower than Talisman, and is best in warm 
weather when Talisman is very poor. We have our best buds and flowers of this variety 
in June, July, August, and September here at Stockton. It has done very well in other 
localities where tested. It is very good for cutting, making the most beautiful small 
bouquets and corsages. In these times when new roses are large, most of us welcome a 
small rose like this one. Everyone seeing it falls in love with it. 
Rapture—Buds and flowers are the same as Mme. Butterfly ,but is a beautiful light pink 
with apricot shadings. 
Red Hoover—A sport of President H. Hoover with the same shaped buds and flowers on 
long stems, but has much more red in the coloring. Fine for cutting. Very vigorous

bushy. Flowers are small to medium in size. The open flower resembles a gardenia.
