McGredy’s Yellow. (McGredy 1935). Soft buttercup yellow 
with no shading. If you appreciate roses of lighter tones 
you will be enthusiastic about this variety, for besides pleas- 
ing color the heavy buds and double flowers (45 to 50 petals) 
have delightful form and substance. Good grower and plenty 
of heavy foliage. Each, 60c. 
Mrs. Dudley Fulton. (Thomas 1931). Because of its low 
bushy habit, brilliant evergreen foliage, and its impressive 
clusters of single white roses this remarkable plant is ideal 
for bedding, borders or for use as a permanent shrub. 
Patent 122. Each, 85c. 
Mrs. E. P. Thom. (H. and S. 1926). New varieties of roses 
come and go but this variety continues in uninterrupted 
popularity. Elegant, clear canary yellow buds and double 
flowers of intriguing form that keep well when cut. Lush 
ruddy green foliage that is particularly handsome and disease 
resistant. Each, 50c. 
Mrs. Lovell Swisher (H. and S. 1924). A strong upright 
grower, bearing a constant succession of long light salmon 
pink buds. As each bud opens the high center remains. The 
lower petals curl slightly, their soft salmon changing to 
delicate pink. A lovely rose at any stage of development. 
Each, 50c. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. (Mallerin 1929). Long, reddish 
gold buds. Fragrant semi-double golden yellow flowers. 
Probably the heaviest bloomer of the yellow roses. Each, 60c. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (McGredy 1929). Many extravagant 
descriptions have been written of this rose. Upon becoming 
thoroughly familiar with the flower one can almost believe 
them. Long coppery orange buds, flushed yellow at the 
base, unfold to form perfect flowers of brilliant orange. Dur- 
ing hot weather the flowers change to lively pink shades. 
Mild fragrance. Each, 60c. 
Night. (McGredy 1930). Deep crimson shaded black and 
maroon. Double well shaped buds and spicy fragrance. If you 
must have a black-red rose we know of none better at any 
price. Each, 60c. 
Pearl S. Buck. (Kordes 1940). This new rose was placed 
on the market last year. It has plenty of good leathery fo- 
liage, good growing qualities and a full spicy fragrance unlike 
that of any rose we know. The tawny orange buds are point- 
ed and the double (45 petals) high centered flowers are quite 
lasting. Long stems. Blooms continuously. A flower as color- 
ful as its namesake, Patent applied for. Each, $1.50. 


Picture. A rose of only medium size, but what symmetry 
and trim loveliness are built into each warm rose pink bud 
and cheerful open flower! Strong erect stems, good foliage 
and tea fragrance. Each, 60c. 
Pink Dawn. (H. and S. 1935). This outstanding richly pink 
rose with its crisp textured petals will furnish you one burst 
of bloom after another. High centered, clear pink flowers 
are remarkably satisfactory for cutting as they are really 
lasting. Vigorous bush. Each, 60c. 
President Herbert Hoover. (Coddington 1930). Has all of 
the qualities necessary to a good rose; large well formed 
buds and flowers, strong color, some fragrance, strong erect 
stems. And besides this it is the strongest growing good 
rose of our acquaintance. The buds are a vivid orange scarlet, 
opening into lively shades of orange and pink. Before the 
flower falls the orange changes to a creamy pink. Each, 50c. 
Radiance. (Cook 1908). This rose was introduced over 30 
years ago. We would not be at all surprised to hear that 
bushes from the first plantings were still in existence. For 
it is an almost unbelievably hardy and long lived variety. 
The round tight buds and cup-shaped flowers, rosy pink 
without and soft pink within, are borne perfectly on strong 
stems even in intensely hot weather. Each, 50c. 
Red Radiance. (Gude 1916). A cerise red sport of the fore- 
going variety that boasts the same excellent characteristics. 
BackoUc: 
Rosa Hugonis. An excellent rose for the shrub border as 
it grows to 6 feet, forming a thicket of splendid foliage and 
in early spring is covered with single, clear yellow flowers 
about 2 inches across. Requires practically no attention ex- 
cept thinning out of old canes once in a while. Each, 75c. 
Rosa Rouletti. Tiny deep pink buds and small blush pink 
roses (less than 14-in. across)—the sweetest little double 
flowers imaginable. Compact round 6-in. bush. Thoroughly 
effective in pots or to border beds as they bloom from spring 
until winter. Each, 60c. 
Rose Marie. (Dorner 1918). Bears profuse quantities of 
long true rose pink buds that open slowly into double cup- 
shaped flowers. Good stems, vigorous growth and remark- 
able fragrance. Each, 50c. 
Signora. (Aicardi 1936). Long dazzling orange scarlet buds 
of perfect shape and substance. The open flowers, of velvety 
texture, are orange scarlet and gold. Extremely vigorous, 
varnished foliage. Blooms heavily. Patent 201. Each, $1.00.
