NARZISSE (P. R. R.)—This is possibly the finest warm-to-hot-weather rose put on the 
market in several years. The long pointed buds open to fully double blooms with 
every petal quilled, rolling back as perfectly as the most beautifully pictured rose. 
The color is usually a cream deepening to soft orange in the heart, although in some 
weathers it comes really yellow. On a very healthy, strong growing plant with long 
cutting stems. This is a must have for all hot sections. As I have more stock this 
season I will beable to:bring the price-down to-:ese ee ee $1.50 
ORANGE NASSAU—Words simply cannot do this rose justice. It has been three 
seasons since I got this rose and now I am thrilled with the small but tremendously 
heavily blooming plants. This is the first season that I have been satisfied. That such 
low-growing plants can produce such a large amount of bloom is hard to believe. The 
color varies considerably but is always spectacular, usually about Capucine orange and 
the reverse gold. The marvelous slow-opening bud, with every petal rolled back just 
so, opens to a perfectly quilled bloom, and they last better than any two-toned rose. 
And more good news. As I have a good crop of this, I will reduce the price to $1.25 
PICTURE—A rose of unique and charming grace both in bud and fully opened bloom. 
The slender urn shaped buds of warm salmon pink open into a completely double rose 
of perfect form with pointed petals, sweetly fragrant. The buds unfurl slowly and the 
open bloom is LD ENE it dale! and when cut. Extremely heavy blooming, 
this was once a wo beautiful rose on a weak plant; my plants are enormously 
vigorous and strong growing. A real oddity about this rose is that with a thousand 
varieties of roses on view here, representing the finest the world has ever produced, 
nearly every one on viewing Picture exclaims, “Oh, what is that? Isn’t it a picture?” 
as they do of no other rose. Its photographs never do it justice. Medium height. As 
I have a poor crop of this do not order after February 1, 1944......000..0..---- $1.50 
PEDRALBES—A very long budded amber white that in the hot sections fades to a snow 
white, where it is becoming very popular. I would not recommend it for the coastal 
areas because of its indeterminate color. Compact bushy plant with good foliage. $1.25 
POINSETTA—A long bud of clear scarlet unfading in sun, opening to a double bloom. 
A fine new red rose upright on good stems, healthy and vigorous. Of medium height. 
Possibly the best scarlet for the hot sections. The rose shows have been demonstrating 
that it is quite easy to grow this variety to prize winning caliber...........-------.---- Ny BS
