The varieties listed below are the “cream” of the 
Californian introductions for this year. 
Heart’s Desire (H&S Patent Rights Reserved)—This delight- 
ful red Rose was given the highest award in the “All American 
Rose Selections” trial for the years 1940-41, after two years trial 
in the various test gardens. In a red Rose, it combines vigorous 
growth, prolific blooming habit, and magnificent foliage. The 
superb bud is delightful when it opens up and until the last 
petals drop. “Heart’s Desire” has been found remarkably free 
from disease and entirely hardy with average protection, even in 
the most northern latitudes. It should be grown in practically 
every Rose garden in the country. Fragrance is not the least of 
its qualities, and the pure even shade of luminous red without 
any trace of maroon is sun-proof even in the very hottest 
weather. Everyone should grow “Heart’s Desire” and where it 
is already growing we predict the plantings will be increased 
considerably. 

Apricot Queen 
Apricot Queen (H&S Patent No. 464)—A combination of 
orange-apricot merging to Salmon-Rose and Phlox-Pink, making 
this one of the most beautiful colored varieties we have ever 
had the pleasure of introducing to the American public. Very 
long pointed buds with excellently placed petal arrangement. 
An intensified “Mrs. Sam McGredy” in color. 
California (H&S Patent No. 449)—A gorgeous shade of ruddy 
orange toned saffron yellow, with the exterior of the broad petals 
overlaid Saturn Rose, producing dual tone effect of indescriba- 
ble richness and beauty. Long pointed buds producing flowers 
reaching a diameter of five to six inches. Vigorous growth, and 
healthy glossy foliage add to its attractiveness. 
Pink Diamond (H&S Patent Applied For)—The large, bright 
pink buds produced by this marvelous variety open to light 
pink blooms of great size, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches 
in diameter, and appear in great profusion. The plants are of 
the same upright growth as the “Talisman” Rose, but are even 
more robust, and are decidedly resistant to attacks of fungus 
disease. “Pink Diamond” has created more favorable comment 
on the part of visitors than has any other variety, and we feel 
sure this splendid sort will prove to be one of the most valuable 
of all Roses introduced during 1942.
