Peace (U. S. Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.50 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike 
range of colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, 
with edges picoteed cerise, to the glorious 5-inch, alabaster blooms, 
each petal edged with pink that seems to deepen as the flower slowly 
opens. The shades of color vary, too, from flower to flower and 
through the changing seasons. Though the bloom is unusually large, 
long lasting and constantly fresh looking, its effect is always delicate 
and lovely. The individual petals are large and of great substance, 
gradually opening, a few at a time, around a high-pointed center, to 
a great, golden hearted, very double, fully open flower. The plant is 
as superior as the bloom, and in the same large-scale way. The 
flowers are borne singly on heavy stems so strong and straight. It 
needs no disbudding to produce exhibition blooms which hold their 
form and freshness longer than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last 
a long time and they are produced all season in endless succession, 
through various stages of opening and changing colors: canary-yellow, 
pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; edged cerise, rose or apple- 
blosom-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, has given the world many 
beautiful Roses, yet of this he says: ‘’This is a rare discovery and 
only takes place once in the career of an originator.’ 

Pearl Harbor (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Memory Rose.’ Some of the remarkable features of this Rose 
are embodied in a plant of tremendous vigor, possibly unequaled by 
any other Rose in commerce today. It will grow and bloom freely 
under most adverse conditions and there is scarcely a period during 
the season when magnificent buds and flowers are not available for 
garden ornamentation or for cutting purposes. The flowers are borne 
On vigorous canes and the bud is exceptionally long and pointed. 
The upper surface of the petals is a delicate shade of shell-pink, with 
golden bronze shadings at the base. The outer, or reverse side of the 
petals, is vivid Tyrian rose. Last, but not least, Pearl Harbor is dis- 
tinct from most other Hybrid Tea Roses in the fact that the plant 
is practically thornless. Extra fine plants, No, 1 XX quality. 

Pink Dawn Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A beautiful new hybrid Tea Rose with glorious deep rose buds opening 
to lovely pink blooms tinted with orange. at the base of the petals. 
Sweetly fragrant, fully double, and of vigorous, upright habit. 
Poinsettia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most brilliant red 
Rose ever produced. ,‘’Crimson Glory” is admittedly a magnificent piece 
of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this Rose 
is a descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland 
of the American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The 
buds are ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good 
grower, and fine as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate 
of Merit by American Rose Society, 1938. 
President Herbert Hoover Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Lorge flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fragrant. The clean, 
handsome foliage is an added attraction. The brilliancy of the color is 
somewhat dimmed by hot weather, but the cool autumn nights develop 
tones and tints of almost unbelievable richness. 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with lonely 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pin 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pink of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting.

Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its large flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and 
yellow shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a ‘‘sport,’’ possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color, which is 
a bright cerise-red. 
Rex Anderson (Plant Patent No. 325) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
This variety can be described as white with an overcast of ivory, slightly 
deeper in the center. The large blooms are carried, several together, on 
strong stems and may be grown to enormous size by disbudding. It has 
a pleasant perfume. The habit of growth is exceptionally free and 
vigorous, and the abundant gray-green foliage sets off the flowers to 
perfection. 
Santa Anita Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Santa Anita is an outstanding Rose. The perfectly formed, long, 
pointed buds unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach- 
blossom-pink. No matter how hot or how brilliant the sun may be, 
the color of Santa Anita remains pure. There is no bleaching or 
discoloration from bud to faded flower. The color is ‘’sunfast.’’ Santa 
Anita is the first Rose to bloom and it flowers bountifully from be- 
ginning to the end of the season. The plants are rugged and not too 
tall. A lovely pink variety which, because of its merits, belongs 
among the best of the pink Roses. 
Shangri-la (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The long-pointed buds of Shangri-la are perfect and upon opening 
show a rare combination of tints and shades; blush, salmon and rose 
delicately blended yet clear and sparkling like dawn itself. The 
bushes are vigorous with ample dark rich green foliage as well as 
fine stems for cutting. It is our firm belief that the color and fresh- 
ness of Shangri-la will brighten your Rose horizon for many a year. 
Soeur Therese (Sister Therese) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Long, pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the 
open flower is rich Daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet-brier 
fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid cutting stems. You can 
always recognize this Rose from its habit of forming sturdy 3-foot, up- 
right canes which are topped by a “‘lighted’’ candelabra of five or more 
burning yellow blooms. 
Sterling (U.S. Plant Patent No. 21) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent flaming pink flower of superb form in bud as well as 
open. The base of the bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as well 
as clarity of color seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows 
strongly and blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. 
A sterling novelty. Winner of the Hubbard medal.
