WILL ROGERS (Patented) 
The color is black velvety crimson-maroon, which holds its color 
till the last petal falls. Its fragrance is so intense that a few will 
scent a room with ‘Attar of Roses” fragrance. Strong and vig- 
orous grower with dark green foliage retained throughout the 
season. The blooms are quite double, with a beautifully ruffled 
petal arrangement in the open flower. Marvelously free in bloom- 
ing qualities, bearing lavish quantities of flowers from April to the 
advent of following winter frosts. This Rose, cut in early morning 
and placed in water, will keep in fine condition for five or six days, 
and during this period dispel its most delightful fragrance. 
Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
YELLOW PERRAUD 
A gorgeous yellow sport of the famous Mme. Joseph Perraud. 
Four years ago there appeared in a planting of Mme. Joseph Per- 
raud, in our nursery, a number of beautiful yellow ‘‘sports’’ or 
“breaks.” From these breaks the finest one was selected for pro- 
duction, and is now offered as the “Yellow Perraud.’’ It possesses 
all the fine qualities of Mme. Joseph Perraud. Long buds open to 
magnificent flowers, amber-yellow in center, delicately shading to 
Naples yellow towards the edges of the petals. The flowers have 
a waxlike quality and are particularly fine for cutting, lasting many 
days in water. A magnificent variety created by a freak of Nature. 
Its splendid habit is the same as that of Mme. Joseph Perraud.  _ 
Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50
