MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT—This beautiful coppery yellow rose when on my wonder- 
fully strong plants far outperforms any other yellow rose today. The beautiful urn 
shaped buds held upright on the ends of the stems, opening to a rich yellow, deliciously 
fragrant bloom, assured the persistence of DuPont when it was on the former small 
plants which were characteristic of this variety. In addition it boasted very healthy 
dense rich foliage, and a notable resistance to thrips and other insects. On any kind 
of plant it tended to give a good quantity of bloom. I have propagated DuPont for 
many seasons, long enough to have made a perfectly astonishing improvement in plant 
quality, notably in vigor of growth and production of blooms. I have no hesitation in 
saying that DuPont on my wonderful plants is by all odds the top. Deep Yellow 
Garden Rose. This description for the hot sections of the country.....-....2..2....222..--- $1.50 
MRS. SAM McGREDY—This description is for the Pacific Northwest and other 
extreme coastal regions. In the hot humid middle states it is not happy; ‘though I 
have improved this plant a great deal in vigor and disease resistance. Long pointed 
scarlet copper buds opening to a double high centered bloom of apricot to salmon pink 
according to weather conditions. Many shrubs are grown for their foliage that cannot 
approach the olive and purplish red of this rose. This rose is just about the most con- 
sistant Queen of the rose shows there is for the Pacific Northwest...................------ $1.50 
NARZISSE (Pat. Pend.)—This is possibly the finest warm-to-hot-weather rose put on 
the market in several years. The long pointed buds open to fully double blooms with 
every petal quilled, rolling back as perfectly as the most beautifully pictured rose. 
The color is usually a cream deepening to soft orange in the heart, although in some 
weathers it comes really yellow. On a very healthy, strong growing plant with long 
cutting stems. This is a must have for all hot sections. Proof has been rolling in 
this last season that this rose really does well even in the deep South. A rose that

PEACE, Pat. No. 591—This new rose will make its debut this season with approval from 
all sections of the country, as it will really grow in every climate in the whole U.S.A. 
A huge rose varying from yellow with petals edged red in the cool of the Puget Sound 
area to a creamy ivory edged pink in the hot sections. It has very glossy foliage right 
up to the neck of the bloom. Even to my conservative viewpoint it looks good. 
Price $2.50 each; $25.00 doz. No further discount. 
PEDRALBES—Has a very long bud of cream shading to amber in the Pacific Northwest; 
but in the rest of the U.S. it is snowy white as well as being one of the heaviest bloom- 
ing of all white roses. If it were fragrant one could say it was the top white rose— 
as it is, it is rapidly becoming the most sought after of all white roses................... $1.50 
POINSETTA—A long bud of clear scarlet unfading in sun, opening to a double bloom.
