Every Whitten Rose Bush comes direct 
from the Pacific Northwest—that section 
of Washington and Oregon made famous 
as the producing center of the Nation’s 
finest Roses. They are grown for us un- 
der special contracts made with the best 
and most experienced growers. To furnish 
you with this quality material costs us at 
least 40% more than if we were to use 
cheap, southern-grown stock, the kind 
you usually get when you buy Roses at 
anywhere near our prices. When you find 
Roses priced five to ten cents cheaper in 
other catalogs, ask yourself whether the 
assurance of getting the best when you 
puy WHITTEN ROSES isn’t well worth 
this slight difference in cost. You can feel 
assured that every WHITTEN ROSE, if 
properly planted and cared for, will fur- 
nish an abundance of beautiful flowers 
this summer—and what’s more, you’ll find 
them true-to-name. Remember, we do not 
offer any number two or three grade stock 
—only strong, selected two-year, field- 
grown bushes—the kind you’ll want to 
plant.

EDITOR McFARLAND ©) The per- 
fectly formed flowers are clear, bril- 
liant, unfading pink, and as a cut flow- 
er it retains its form and lasts longer 
than any other Rose we know. A win- 
ner of many awards. The growth is vig- 
orous, the foliage healthy, and it blooms 
all the time from early summer to frost. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE (A) Laree, 
velvety crimson flowers produced in 
great profusion throughout summer. 
Deliciously perfumed. Vigorous upright 
grower. An excellent red Rose. 
GOLDEN DAWN (©) an ideal yel- 
low garden Rose. The ovoid, lemon-yel- 
low bud is heavily splashed with crim- 
son before opening and develops into a 
well formed, sweetly scented, large, dou- 
ble, sunflower-yellow, that reminds one 
of the old favorite, Marechal Niel. 
JOANNA HILL Extremely large, 
very long-pointed; flowers large, semi- 
double, full, unusually lasting, moder- 
ately fragrant, darker yellow than Sun- 
burst, borne singly on long, strong 
stems. Beautiful foliage; few thorns. 
Vigorous grower; profuse bloomer.

slowly into a magnificent, very large 
bloom of just “red” or deep pink, which 
lasts a long time. Color varies as to 
climate, some locations producing a 
deeper color than others. Slight Tea 
scent. A splendid Rose for cutting, as 
the perfectly formed flowers come on 
long stems, 
MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT Long, 
pointed buds of reddish gold, opening to 
a semi-double, lasting and fragrant 
flower of deep golden yellow. Profuse 
and continuous bloomer. 
PINK RADIANCE extra hardy, vigor- 
ous and prolific. Blending of carmine- 
rose with shades of opal and copper.

healthy plants produce large flowers of 
scarlet, yellow, cerise, pink and flame. 
A perfect Rose for cutting. 
RED RADIANCE Large, globular 
flowers of an even, clear red. Constant- 
ly in bloom. Very popular. 
TALISMAN (F) tts brilliant orange- 
red buds open to large, fragrant, high- 
pointed blooms of glowing golden yel- 
low, stained with copper-red, orange- 
rose on inside of petals. As the petals 
unfold, they become bright apricot-gold, 
deep rose-pink or old rose. Color be- 
comes brighter as the flowers develop.
