GOLDEN EMBLEM 
In spite of its faults this is still the most 
popular golden rose. And no wonder; 
when you do see one perfect bud of 
Golden Emblem you feel sure it is worth 
the extra care the plant requires. Be- 
cause it is subject to die-back, a trouble- 
some disease, we do not recommend it 
to beginners, but still we feel no garden 
is quite complete without at least one 
Golden Emblem, whether in bush, tree 
or climbing form. The ‘varnished’ foli- 
age is lovely at all times. Each......$1.25. 
GOLDEN RAPTURE 
Here is one of the most satisfactory of 
the newer yellow roses. Lovely long 
shapely buds, opening slowly to finely 
formed pale yellow blooms. Fragrant, 
disease resistant, clean foliage and up-

GOOD NEWS (1940) 
Very large, exceptionally double, silvery 
pink bioom with an apricot glow. Long 
strong stems, abundant leathery foliage, 
vigorous, and free flowering. We have 
watched it with interest in our test gar- 
den and feel that it is one of the best 
of the new roses.

GRANDE DUCHESSE CHARLOTTE 
Here is a striking rose in a new shade 
which we find difficult to describe. It is 
called claret colored, or brick red, or 
chestnut, or geranium red, or morocco 
red—and none of those seem just satis- 
factory. We'd appreciate it if you'd help 
us out and tell us what color the Grande 
Duchesse really is. At any rate it is a 
lovely thing and attracts attention dur- 
ing the entire season. We have so many 
orders for it that we hope you will get 
yours early and not be disappointed. 
Fine strong plants. Glossy foliage.

GRUSS AN AACHEN (1909) 
This charming little flower is the fore- 
runner of the new type of Floribunda 
roses. It is small, but very double and 
a bright salmon pink bud opening to a 
perfect soft pink bloom. It is continu- 
ously in bloom and we enjoy it as a 
bedding rose, Fach. ee $1.25 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ (1898) 
A very old timer, which has been known 
and enjoyed all through the years. It 
is a very fragrant dark scarlet red, 
marked with velvety garnet. Short weak 
stems. It will grow to a height of six or 
eight feet, anywhere for anybody. 
Stands hardship and neglect, but goes 
right on blooming. A satisfactory pillar 
rose and always popular as a tall hedge.

HADLEY (1914) : 
A well-loved old-timer. Velvety red, 
with a fragrance unequalled by any 
newer rose. Around the Bay area it is 
a bad one for mildew, but in the warmer 
valleys Hadley is one of the best red 
roses. Throughout the years Hadley has 
been a consistent prize winner in the 
Valley flower shows. Each.............. $1.25 
HEART’S DESIRE (1941) 
Awarded highest honors as the ‘All- 
American” rose selection of 1942. Such 
a lovely name for this deep red rose. 
Long-stemmed buds of superb form, 
opening to shapely blooms of pure lumi- 
nous red, but the color is not all. There 
is no other rose so sweetly fragrant. 
Free blooming, vigorous.

HINRICH GAEDE (1931) 
Now here is a rose with such a combi- 
nation of brilliant colors that we find it 
well nigh impossible to describe. The 
general color effect might be called 
orange-scarlet or copper-orange, or even 
vermilion-copper. Does that help you 
any? We thought not, and are sorry, 
but you will just have to see a Hinricn 
Gaede and smell its honey sweet fra- 
grance to know what we mean, when 
we say this is the best of the multi- 
colors. A triple-centered bloom with 47

HORACE McFARLAND . 
This lovely new rose is so much more 
beautiful than any of its photographs 
that we should like to have you come 
see it in flower in our trial garden at 
the nursery. The shades of color are 
difficult to describe. The coral buds 
open to deep apricot and buff blooms. 
It was an All American winner for 1945, 
and seems to “have everything”. |

IMPROVED LAFAYETTE 
A polyanthus rose of glowing red, suf- 
fused with crimson. Makes a very ei- 
fective hedge, or is used delightfully as 
a shrub border. We were especially 
pleased with Improved Lafayette on a 
short standard, which seemed to give us 
é huge brilliant bouquet throughout the 
Summer’ Each. (ot eee ee $1.25
