the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers

grower and very free flowering.

yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely.

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 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and vellow, 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 unbelieveable richness. 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
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 disbuddina. 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.
