THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


THREE SENSATIONAL NEW CLIMBING ROSES 
Six years ago I imported three new climbing roses from England 
that have been so sensationally beautiful that they have created quite 
a furore and are the centre of attraction at my exhibition gardens 
when they are in bloom. A few of the plants have been potted so that 
they can be taken at any time by those visiting my gardens. These 
potted plants, however, are not shipped. All orders received by mail 
will be filled in the fall of 1931; or if the purchaser prefers, the 
spring of 1932. 
JACOTTE. This is one of the most sensational new colors ever intro- 
duced in a rambler rose, the color being almost identical: with the 
Talisman rose, four to ten large semi-double flowers to a bunch, of a 
brilliant orange yellow and deep copper, touched flame color. Being a 
Wichuariana Hybrid, the growth is vigorous; it is free flowering, ex- 
tremely hardy and disease resistant, and the foliage is the typical 
glossy green foliage of the Wichuariana. $2.50 each 
ALBERTINE. This variety and Jacotte are unquestionably the two 
finest rambler roses ever introduced. The bud of Albertine is deep 
vermilion and the open flower is of a coppery chamois inside the petal, 
with a reverse of bright salmon, turning to coppery pink; a striking 
new color among Rambler Roses. It is another Wichuariana Hybrid 
of the most rugged and vigorous growth, making tremendous bushes 
that are a mass of these most lovely blooms. It has the typical glossy 
green Wichuariana foliage and, like the others of this group, is ex- 
tremely rugged, hardy and disease resistant. $2.50 each 
FERNAND TANNE. This is another Wichuariana Hybrid, with all 
the rugged, free flowering characteristics of the other two, and the 
same glossy green foliage. It is very fragrant, the buds are a dark 
rich deep yellow, opening out to a most lovely soft yellow flower.

ANOTHER SENSATIONAL NEW CLIMBING ROSE 
MME, GREGOIRE STAECHELIN—“THE SPANISH BEAUTY” 
A winner of highest honors at home and abroad. Won the First John 
Cook Medal of the American Rose Society. The Spanish producer, 
Pedro Dot, received this award June 11th, 1930, for Mme. Gregoire 
Staechelin as “The Best Rose introduced in the past three years.” In 
1927 it secured the Bagatelle Gold Medal—the highest international 
recognition that a rose can receive. 
Hardy without protection and a vigorous grower, being a cross be- 
tween the very rugged Frau Karl Druschki and a variety which is 
famous for its fragrance, Chateau de Clos Vougeot, inheriting the 
good qualities of both. 
Bright fragrant bouquets of flowers on 12 to 15 inch stems, on 
canes that grow twelve feet or more in a season. A true climber, 
suitable for fences, pergolas, pillars or other similar purposes. Color 
iridescent pearl pink, splashed with carmine. $2.50 each
