ETOILE D'HOLLANDE—The Standard by which all new roses are judged, it is the 
oldest of the big three—Crimson Glory and Christopher Stone—which for the major 
section of the country are by far the best crimson roses. For most of the United States 
it is far superior to the new “Hearts Desire,’ which is a conditional rose—that is, 
superb under some conditions and mediocre under others—or ‘Mirandy,” which 
under many conditions turns an ugly purple. The plant of Etoile d’Hollande as well 
as the bloom will stand much more heat and still look well than the latter varieties; 
in fact, for Pacific Northwest conditions the two others of the “big three” A

FAIENCE—Two tones peach and cadmium yellow mixed and blended coppery rose and 
China pink. These sound like a lot of colors but at times you might think you could 
add some more for in its proper location which is high elevations it has almost every- 
thing. Though in the coastal areas it is only good in the middle of the summer when the 
temperatures are high. It wants lots of light. Really perfect in form of both bud

GIRONA—A uniquely lovely rose, possibly the most fragrant rose in existence under 
widely varied conditions, breathing forth richest damask perfume. The always pointed 
buds are crimson and gold, unfolding with a butterfly effect into a lovely blossom with 
waved petals, of rich yellow tipped with rose. As the blossom ages the rose color first 
recedes, then extends over the petals, deepening day by day until they drop, seemingly 
as fresh as when the bud unfolded. The petals have a crystalline texture that adds to 
its beauty. Fully opened blossoms of Girona may be floated in bowls and kept for 
days in the house, always sweetly fragrant. A very healthy, strong growing, tall, 
upright plant that stands heavy bloom cutting, with foliage extending up to the neck 
of the bloom. It could be called the rainbow rose as it comes different in every 
weather and always superb. I have seen it in full bloom in the nursery when the 
temperature was up to 105, and it bloomed just the same, though the blooms came 
white that faded to.a deep pink, but always beautiful ..1. 2022120. $1.50 
HEINRICH WENDLAND—A beautiful multicolored rose with a pointed, slow opening 
bud—the slowest opening of the high multicolors—with inside of petals crushed 
strawberry to coral, outside old gold. Most satisfactory in moderately cool sections of 
the country. Of medium height. The lightly fragrant bloom is fully double. The new 
foliage of this rose is a rich reddish olive that looks like it had been recently varnished 
and has the healthiest plant of'any multi-colored ‘rose.i...22:.c $1.50 
GOOD NEWS, Pat. 426—A large fully double high centered bloom that under ordinary 
conditions is a silvery pink with a copper glow in the center. With plenty of heat the 
copper tones deepen and spread, then as fall approaches it becomes a pinky copper. 
Just about fool proof. Vigorous............... $1.50 each; $15.00 doz. No further discount. 
KOROVO—A beautifully formed, long budded rose of warm apricot over pink. The 
slender lovely urn shaped buds, much like those of Picture but larger, unfurl into a 
fully double ‘“‘rose shaped’”’ rose of wonderful form even when widely opened, and 
deliciously fragrant. The colors deepen in heat, and the petal texture is resistant to 
both heat and thrips damage. This splendid rose, finest’in hot climates, is rapidly 
becoming enormously popular. Medium height.........222222222..2.e--1ee--eeeeee : $1.50 
LADY LEACONFIELD—This new white rose, with a faint pink flush in the heart 
which fades on opening, is undoubtedly close to the best white today. Has glossy 
foliage, a growth which is Tea in character, seems to be satisfactory in all climates, 
as well as perfect form in both bud and bloom and very fragrant when temperature 
gets to 70 as it does not volatilize when cool. Petal texture and substance is
