Mrs. E. P. Thom. (H. and S. 1926). New varieties of roses 
come and go but this variety continues in uninterrupted 
popularity. Elegant, clear canary yellow buds and double 
flowers of intriguing form that keep well when cut. Lush 
ruddy green foliage that is particularly handsome and disease 
resistant. Each, 75c. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. (Mallerin 1929). Long, reddish 
gold buds. Fragrant semi-double golden yellow flowers. 
Probably the heaviest bloomer of the yellow roses. Bachacoc: 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (McGredy 1929). Many extravagant 
descriptions have been written of this rose. Upon becoming 
thoroughly familiar with the flower one can almost believe 
them. Long coppery orange buds, flushed yellow at the 
base, unfold to form perfect flowers of brilliant orange. Dur- 
ing hot weather the flowers change to lively pink shades. 
Mild fragrance. Each, 75c. 
Night. (McGredy 1930). Deep crimson shaded black and 
maroon. Double well shaped buds and spicy fragrance. If you 
must have a black-red rose we know of none better at any 
price. Each, 85c. 
Pasadena Tournament. (Krebs 1942). One of the most 
fascinating little roses we have seen in years. Has the ex- 
cellent form of Cecile Brunner but is slightly larger than 
that variety. Both buds and flowers are an exquisite shade 
of velvety red. Bronzy foliage and sturdy stems. Upright 
and vigorous. A fitting tribute to Pasadena’s Tournament 
of Roses. Patent. Price $1.50. 
Picture. A rose of only medium size, but what symmetry 
and trim loveliness are built into each warm rose pink bud 
and cheerful open flower! Strong erect stems, good foliage 
and tea fragrance. Each, 75c. 
Pink Dawn. (H. and S. 1935). This outstanding richly pink 
rose with its crisp textured petals will furnish you one burst 
of bloom after another. High centered, clear pink flowers 
are remarkably satisfactory for cutting as they are really 
lasting. Vigorous bush. Each, 85c. 
President Herbert Hoover. (Coddington 1930). Has all of 
the qualities necessary to a good rose; large well formed 
buds and flowers, strong color, some fragrance, strong erect 
stems. And besides this it is the strongest growing good 
rose of our acquaintance. The buds are a vivid orange scarlet, 
opening into lively shades of orange and pink. Before the 
flower falls the orange changes to a creamy pink. Each, 60c. 
Radiance. (Cook 1908). This rose was introduced over 30 
years ago. We would not be at all surprised to hear that 
bushes from the first plantings were still in existence. For 
it is an almost unbelievably hardy and long lived variety. 
The round tight buds and cup-shaped flowers, rosy pink 
without and soft pink within, are borne perfectly on strong 
stems even in intensely hot weather. Each, 60c. 
Red Radiance. (Gude 1916). A cerise red sport of the fore- 
going variety that boasts the same excellent characteristics. 
Each, 60c. 
Rosa Rouletti. Tiny deep pink buds and small blush pink 
roses (less than '%-in. across)—the sweetest little double 
flowers imaginable. Compact round 6-in. bush. Thoroughly 
effective in pots or to border beds as they bloom from spring 
until winter. Each, 85c. 
Rose Marie. (Dorner 1918). Bears profuse quantities of 
long true rose pink buds that open slowly into double cup- 
shaped flowers. Good stems, vigorous growth and remark- 
able fragrance. Each, 60c. 
Santa Anita. (Howard & Smith 1942). A multitude of 
perfect clear pink roses on a bush of moderate proportions. 
Few roses will supply as many clean well shaped buds for 
cutting. Patent applied for. Each, $1.00. 
Signora. (Aicardi 1936). Long dazzling orange scarlet buds 
_ of perfect shape and substance. The open flowers, of velvety 
texture, are orange scarlet and gold. Extremely vigorous, 
varnished foliage. Blooms heavily. Patent 201. Each, $1.00. 


TEXAS CENTENNIAL 
Sister Therese. (Gillot 1930). Perfect chrome yellow, 
tinged with carmine and clean golden yellow flowers on a 
vigorous free branching bush. Much stronger growing and 
heavier blooming than most yellow roses. Good leathery 
bright green foliage. Intriguing fragrance. Each, 75c. 
Southport. (McGredy 1933). While this variety does not 
have as many petals (20) as some other roses, the superb 
scarlet buds, more brilliant than we know how to tell you, 
are long and perfect in form and borne on good strong stems. 
Grows upright and luxuriantly. Mild, sweet fragrance. Each, 
85c. 
Talisman. (Montgomery Co. 1929). A glorious riot of red 
burnt orange and gold. It is hard to imagine so much color 
and symmetry in one rose bud and such charming fragrance, 
too. It has a pleasing habit of upright growth and long 
stiff bright green stems. Each, 60c. 
Texas Centennial. (Dixie Rose 1935). A popular sport of 
Pres. Hoover that changes with the seasons but is spectac- 
ular at all times. During cool weather the buds are blood- 
red, changing to carmine in warmer weather. Tight buds 
and bright high centered flowers on stiff stems that will 
charm you with their loveliness. Has all of the remarkably 
strong growing characteristics of Hoover. Patent 162. Each, 
85c. 
The Doctor. While the plant is of modest proportions the 
huge double silvery-pink buds and flowers will amply reward 
you for its care. And the intense fragrance is something to 
really get excited about. Each, $1.00. 
Victoria Harrington. (Thomas 1931). A magnificent dark 
red rose that holds its warm color until the last petals have 
fallen. The bush is apt to be a little lazy the first season, but 
thereafter grows vigorously and blooms heavily. Buds are 
long and perfectly formed and the glowing flowers are 
spicily fragrant. We consider it one of the very finest reds. 
Eachw/5c: 
Ville de Paris. (Pernet-Ducher 1926). There is hardly a 
time during the season that you cannot cut a charming 
bouquet of unfading sunflower yellow roses from this va- 
riety. The buds and flowers borne on a husky branching 
bush, are substantial and well formed. Each, 60c.
