McGredy’s Scarlet 
Ophelia Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
A Rose that is admired by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long 
stiff stems, are of perfect form, good size and of a most pleasing, 
delicate tint of salmon-flesh, shaded with rose; very floriferous. 
Orange Nassau Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Plant Patent No. 350.) An exceptionally fine new color but not as tall 
a grower as we should like to see it. It is the most spectacular Rose of 
the decade. The color is bright orange on the inside of the petals, 
whereas the outside is an intense cadmium-yellow that contrasts well 
with the orange. Well-shaped buds opening into flowers not unlike a 
Cactus Dahlia in shape. An excellent variety for bordering beds. (Color 
illustration, page 89.) 
Pink Dawn Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
A beautiful new Hybrid Tea Rose with glorious deep rose buds opening 
to lovely pink blooms tinted with orange at the base of the petals. 
Sweetly fragrant, fully double, and of vigorous, upright habit. 
President Herbert Hoover Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fragrant. The clean, 
handsome foliage is an added attraction. The brilliancy of the color is 
somewhat dimmed by hot weather, but the cool autumn nights develop 
tones and tints of almost unbelievable richness. 
President Plumecocq Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Coppery yellow, ovoid buds open to large, cupped blooms of coppery 
buff with an overglow of deep salmon. An upright grower, producing 
quantities of long-lasting fragrant flowers with 30 petals or more, 
throughout the entire season. A lovely Rose for cutting, as the blooms 
come singly on strong, erect stems and last a long time indoors. 
Radiance Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its large flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and yel- 
low shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a “‘sport’’, possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color, which is 
a bright cerise-red. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Copper-red buds of great length, opening to golden yellow blooms 
stained outside with red, fully double and very large; fragrant. 
Rex Anderson Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Plant Patent Applied For.) This variety can be described as white with 
an overcast of ivory, slightly deeper in the center. The large blooms are 
carried, several together, on strong stems and may be grown to enor- 
mous size by disbudding. It has a pleasant perfume. The habit of 
growth is exceptionally free and vigorous, and the abundant gray-green 
foliage sets off the flowers to perfection. 
R. M. S. Queen Mary Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Plant Patent No. 249.) Salmon-pink. A Rose of charming color and 
form that blooms almost continuously and produces its long lasting flow- 
ers on strong, erect stems. The long buds open to lovely blooms of 
salmonsPinis suffused with orange. A sensation at 1937 spring flower 
shows. 
Rome Glory Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Plant Patent No. 304.) Extraordinarily robust and hardy plant. Was 
selected as the official’ Rose to glorify the third millennium of the 
founding of Rome, the Eternal City. A red Dame Edith Helen but of 
larger size and opening well in all weathers. Heavy, ovoid, crimson bud, 
evolving into a large, very double bloom of superb form. The color 
graduates to a lighter tint toward the center. Very perfumed. Long 
stems for cutting. Open blooms have been likened to perfect green- 
house American Beauties. The flowers are long lasting on the plant or 
when cut, and are not affected by dry or wet weather. 
Rouge Mallerin Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Scarlet. Pointed buds of brilliant red open to 314-inch blooms of glow- 
ing scarlet, the deep pile on the petals making them look for all the 
world like pieces of rich scarlet velvet. Rich old damask perfume.

Gloaming 


Feu Pernet-Ducher 
Soeur Therese (Sister Therese) Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Long-pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the 
open flower is rich daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet-brier 
fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid cutting stems. You can 
always recognize this Rose from its habit of forming sturdy 3-foot, up- 
right canes which are topped by a “‘lighted’’ candelabra of 5 or more 
burning yellow blooms. 
Souv. de Mme. C. Chambard Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
The buds are large, long-pointed, coral in color, and unfold to a coral- 
pink developing a satiny peach sheen which is about the loveliest finish 
we have ever seen on a Rose petal. Its fragrance is delicious. The plant 
is free in bloom. Its long stems and perfect form make it a splendid 
cut flower. 
Sir Henry Seagrave Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Large, long, well-shaped buds and very large, high-centered, sweet- 
scented, double flowers of a beautiful deep lemon-yellow with deeper 
shadings at the base of the petals. 
Signora Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Plant Patent No. 201.) This Rose from the land of sunshine and Chianti 
wine is a real masterpiece in both plant and bloom. Long bud of a 
warm burnt sienna, opening to a lighter hue toward mandarin. The 
plant is tall-growing with every bloom ona long stem. Foliage is hand- 
some. Indispensable to those who grow Roses mainly for cutting. 
Sterling Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 21.) A magnificent flaming pink 
flower of superb form in bud as well as open. The base of the 
bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as well as clarity of color 
seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows strongly and 
blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. A 
sterling novelty. Winner cf the Hubbard medal. (Color illus- 
tration, page 89.) 

Talisman Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Brilliant red and gold buds, opening to well shaped blooms of scarlet- 
orange and rich yellow. Constantly in bloom; the most vivid color yet 
Produced in Roses.

(Patent Rights Reserved.) Strong growing plants producing very long 
urn-shaped buds in shades varying with the weather from carmine 
through peach to blood-red. 
Texas Centennial Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Patent Applied For.) A sport of President Herbert Hoover, having the 
same wonderful qualities. The color is blood-red, toning to cerise-red in 
the center. Very unusual. 
Ville de Paris Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Round buds of clear yellow and big, globular flowers of the same hue, 
untouched by any other color. This is one of the really distinct breaks in 
the new yellow Roses. 
Warrawee Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Plant Patent No. 140.) Shell-pink. Long-pointed, salmon-pink buds 
open to 4-inch or larger flowers of exquisite shell-pink with a slightly 
darker reverse. The bloom, when fully open, looks like a glorified Mme. 
Butterfly. It has the delightful spicy fragrance of the old clove pinks. 
The plant has all the health, vigor and freedom of bloom of Radiance. 
The blooms come singly on erect, firm stems, with few thorns, which 
makes this one of the few shell-pink Roses for cutting. 
White Briarcliff Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Plant_ Patent No. 108.) A supreme white Rose, with the finest form 
since Bride’s Roses have been grown. Vigorous, bushy plant of unusual 
arcticness. Tremendous producer and ideal for cutting. Keeps a long 
while in water. It cannot be recommended too highly. 
York and Lancaster Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This historical Rose is said to have appeared in an English garden soon 
after the War of the Roses and the historical description said that: 
It has irregu!arly shaped flowers which may be pale red or pure white, 
or part red and part white. Flowers of these different colorings may, 
and otten do, appear on the bush at the same time.’ The blooms are 
richly fragrant with the true Damask scent.
