THE DOCTOR—Furling pointed buds of rich pure pink averaging 214 inches in length, 
often three inches, intensely fragrant with the damask perfume; characterize this re- 
markable rose. The buds open to huge airy semi-double blooms of finest substance. 
My plants of The Doctor are very large and strong. But do not buy it unless you can 
plant it where it does not get afternoon sun as its wood cannot take any appreciable 
amount of sunburn for it will die to the union and the decay will spread throughout 
the plant from there. Even here in the Pacific Northwest its wood will not stand our 
hottest days unprotected. But there is no question but that this rose is worth all of the 
trouble it is as it is the most beautiful of all pink roses in any language............. $1.50 
TREASURE ISLAND—Gorgeous, extremely long pointed buds that in the heat achieve 
coppery pink with shades of salmon and orange. Its colors are best when warm 
weather comes; in fact, in cool weather in the spring it is only a pink rose. Then as it 
gets warmer it gets richer in color opening to a bloom having quilled petals of light 
salmon edged paler. Originally this was a very poor grower but I have constantly 
improved it every year so that now it has ample vigor though it is not a tall grower. 
Do not whack this plant, let it grow as large as possible..............-...2----es--eceeeseee-+- $1.50 
SHOW AND EXHIBITION ROSES 
_ These following roses, except Sir Henry Seagrave, are not really good garden varieties 
—only for the purpose of winning prizes as their occasional marvelous bloom does not 
justify their place in a small garden. This is particularly so with the McGredy’s Ivory 
as it is very subject to blackspot and mildew while Paul’s Lemon Pillar, though healthy, 
is strictly Exhibition in that it is a shy producer. In Julia Countess of Dartrey the story 
is different except that the color is poor in the heat. Really for the Pacific Northwest only. 
She has positively the most perfect huge bloom from an exhibition standpoint that one 
could ask for; and is a steady blooming pillar rose that is a very strong grower. Color 
deep rose with an orange-scarlet cast in proper weather. The last three are strictly ribbon 
collector's items and I have only a few as most people want steady garden performance. 
Oh yes! I must give some description of Sir Henry Seagrave which I believe is about 
the most consistent producer of Show Blooms of any I know; even though it does not do 
well in the rest of the country, It is consistently a creamy lemon in color with a lemon 
scent, If you buy any of the above 4 roses I wish you luck. Any of the 4 varieties................ 
$1.50 each.
