ALICE STERN $ .75 
Apparently this rose likes a warm climate. Alice 
Stern is rated in some sections as the best white 
although it has not been here in the nursery. It 
has a long pointed bud; growth is strong and up- 
right, with heavy clean leathery foliage. 
ANGELE PERNET $ .75 
This rose is still the best of its type and color. A 
beautiful orange yellow shaded deep reddish-apricot. 
The flower has a fine form, semi-double and is borne 
on strong stiff stems. A fine cut flower and frag- 
rant. Bush is a moderate grower with clean glossy 
foliage that is very free of disease. Will not stand 
heavy pruning. 
AUSTRIAN COPPER Sig72 
One of the oldest roses in commerce today; used as 
a shrub. The small single blooms are brilliant 
coppery red on the outside with yellow on the re- 
verse. Spring bloomer. 
AUTUMN (Coddington 1928) $ .75 
An unusual combination of deep burnt orange and 
pink streaked with red. Moderately fragrant and 
very lasting. The bush is a strong upright grower 
with an abundance of thick glossy foliage. Mildews 
in some locations. Excellent in coastal regions. 
CECIL % .75 
The best single yellow rose. Buds are golden yellow 
and produced profusely on a bushy plant well 
clothed with glossy green foliage. 
CHRISTOPHER STONE 
(Robinson 1935) $ .75 
From all over the world come excellent reports of 
this lovely red rose. In our field this rose has been 
outstanding. The bud is long pointed, opening to 
a large double flower of vivid scarlet with a velvety 
crimson sheen. The plant is a bushy yet upright 
grower, about 2% feet, with fine bronzy green foli- 
age that has mildewed slightly. A very prolific 
bloomer and fragrant. 
DAINTY BESS $ .75 
Considered by many to be the best single rose. A 
medium size flower with crinkled and wavy petals 
of a soft rose pink. The bright crimson stamens 
make a very pleasing contrast. A good cut flower 
if cut in bud. A vigorous upright grower and 
prolific bloomer.
