MODERN ROSES a 
DICKSONS RED gn Soon 
Because of the many virtues of Dicksons Red for the ‘ 
Rose gardens of America, we have grown more 
plants for this spring than of any other Red Rose in 
the “‘Parade.’’ This glowing scarlet-red Rose from 
- the Emerald Isle “‘has everything’’—flashing color; 
large, beautifully cupped, high-centered form; rich 
fragrance; early, abundant, continuous bloom; re- 
| sistance to heat; strong, sturdy bush; clear, healthy 
| foliage. A Rose so lovely, so rugged, so able to 
| stand the hottest sun with color undimmed—so 
completely satisfying it will continue to be the lead- 
ing red Rose for years to come. In cooler weather, 
a rich velvety red. There is no other Red Rose which 
will be more faithful in producing an abundance of 
glorious bloom all season long, nor one with more 
fragrance than the spicy richness of Dicksons Red.

SATURNIA 2" 230 
Glorious, with 20 flame-wrought petals casting their spell of enchant- 
ment. The face of the large petals is a brilliant cardinal-red while the 
reverse is a salmon-yellow and copper, creating a warmth of tone diffi- 
cult to describe—still more difficult to forget. If you do not have Sa- 
turnia in your garden, we cannot suggest another which would con- 
tribute so much to the array of colors as this stunning masterpiece. A 
glimpse at the picture below will indicate what a wealth of interest it 
creates, and how effective it is for use in bouquets.

“Because of the nation-wide popularity of the eminent commentator, 
eos it is small wonder that he should be honored by making this Rose his 
namesake. Now its blooms of glowing gold are doubly honored, for they 
have been selected this year as one of the new All-America Roses. Dainty, 
alluring fragrance. The large, perfectly-formed blooms have 35 large, 
buttery golden yellow petals that hold their color very well. On long 
stems, each bloom is a treat in itself. The sturdy and vigorous plants are MARS 
wa very satisfactory in the garden. S
