SONATA | 
The originators of this lovely rose say 
"Sonata is truly as beautiful as a sym- 
phonic melody.’ And it really is. Long 
slender buds of cochineal red open to 
blooms of deep lively pink. Very free 
flowering. Erect plant, with long strong 
stems. We think that in the bud stage, 
this is one of the best new roses. 
Patent applied for. Each.................. $1.50 
STERLING (1933) 
Perfectly formed fragrant flowers of 
brilliant pink. Absolutely does not fade. 
Long stems’ make it an especially good 
cut rose. Was grown originally as a 
hot-house flower, but does very well 
out-of-doors and sometimes has blooms 
of hot-house perfection.

SHOW GIRL 
This is a new deep-pink rose and we 
believe it to be good. In our trial gar- 
den it has lived up to expectations with 
prolific blooming, strong plants and fine 
long slim buds. The color is quite an 
intense shade of very deep pink, al- 
most carmine. The buds are exception- 
ally long, and make very effective 
flower arrangement. The petals are of 
heavy texture, so that the bloom is long 
lasting.

TALISMAN (1929) 
Ycu probably have at least one Talis- 
man in your garden. We would suggest 
that you plant several Talisman bushes, 
or one Climbing Talisman, so that you 
may enjoy a bowl of these lovely 
flowers all season. It is difficult to de- 
scribe the colors, as they vary, probably 
more than in any other rose. An attempt 
might be, orange-scarlet and gold with 
some deep yellow, fading to soft apri- 
cot and pink. Exquisite buds. Long 
stems, upright growth. Each.......... $1.25 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL (1935) 
This glorious rose is as big and fine and 
strong as President Hoover from which 
it sported. It has a much brighter color, 
in fact it is sometimes called the Red 
Roses 
which there is no higher praise. There 
are blood-red tones in the fine red buds, 
toning to cerise red in the center of the 
flower. It is still a deep warm pink 
when it falls apart. Order yours early, 
as there never seem to be enough plants 
to supply the demand.

VICTORIA HARRINGTON (1935) 
Now here is another fine red rose. 
Pointed buds of blackish red, slowly 
open to finely formed flowers of non- 
fading velvety dark red, warmed with 
a golden flush in the heart of the flower. 
In the open bloom the fluted petals re- 
mind one of a fine cactus dahlia. Cli- 
matic conditions seem to make little 
difference as this rose flourishes either 
in foggy weather or in the hot valley 
sunshine. Strong upright growth, free

- FERTILIZING 
Roses are heavy ‘feeders’. 
Barnyard manure in early spring, 
followed by frequent applications of commercial fertilizer during 
the summer, will produce lots of good flowers.
