President Macia 
President Macia Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pink of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting. 
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. 
Rex Anderson Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Patented.) 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 enormous size 
by disbudding. It has a pleasant perfume. The habit of growth is ex- 
ceptionally 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 
salmon-pink, suffused with orange. A sensation at 1937 spring flower 
shows. 
Rouge Mallerin Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Scarlet. Pointed buds of brilliant red open to 31-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. 
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-br.er 
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. 
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 mandcrin. 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 50.)

Signora 
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. 
The Chief Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Patented.) Strong growing plants producing very long urn-shaped 
ae in shades varying with the weather from carmine through peach 
to blood-red. 
Texas Centennial Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
(Patented.) 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. 
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 irregularly shaped flowers which may be pale red or pure white, 
or part red and part white. Flowers of these different colorings may, 
and often do, appear on the bush at the same time.’’ The blooms are 
richly fragrant with the true Damask scent.

Gentlemen: 
Last fall I ordered from you 154 Hybrid Tea Roses—Charles 
K. Douglas, Condesa de Sastago, Radiance and Edith Nellie 
Perkins—and I am happy to report that not only did all of 
these plants come through the winter but they are progressing 
splendidly. 
I have been buying rose plants from various nurseries for a 
number of years and I want you to know that the plants you 
sent me are the very finest in root stock and in vigorous growth 
that I have ever purchased. 
Very truly yours, 
JAMES L. WEST
