We constantly shuffle and re-shuffle our Rose list in an effort to give you the 
most satisfactory kinds. Each one is thoroughly tested in our nurseries before being 
offered. If you miss an old favorite in the list, you may be sure that the one 
replacing it is a definite improvement. As we cannot offer all of the hundreds of 
varieties, we try to have the best. 
NEW PATENTED KINDS 
HYBRID TEA ROSE, MIRANDY. All-America Selection. (Plant Patent No. 
632.) Illustrated on front cover. Deep red flowers, having the texture and 
pile of good velvet and a delicious spicy fragrance, borne on long, sturdy 
stems. The large ovoid buds open to fully double, many-petaled flowers 
that are fine for cutting, lasting much longer than average indoors. The 
foliage is heavy, leathery, durable, and of a lustrous dark green which Grand 
does not fade. The plant is upright, vigorous, and free blooming. Alto- Duchess 
gether, this is the finest Rose we have seen. We highly recommend it. Charlotte 
$2.50 each; $6.25 for 3. 
HYBRID TEA ROSE PEACE. All-America Selection. (Plant Patent No. 591.) 
Illustrated on front cover. As outstanding in its color class and Mirandy’s 
equal in every way, having the same lustrous heavy foliage, strong, 
sturdy, long stems and gorgeous blocms that hold their freshness right up 
to the time the petals drop. The bud is a rich, golden yellow with pink- 
edged petals. As the flowers open, the pink seems to deepen, then as 
they come to their full high-crowned glory, the golden color fades first to 
an attractive ivory, then to an alabaster white and the pink blush spreads 
and deepens along the edge of the individual petals. The plants produce 
many flowers at once and they can be seen in all stages. The whole 
effect is of several gorgeously different Roses on one plant. $2.50 each; 
$6.29 for 3. 

Apricot Queen. (Plant Patent No. 464.) Another new All-America variety and 
a real winner. A profusion of medium sized, dainty, clear apricot color 
buds is borne on slender, sturdy stems. Open flowers show a lighter shade 
of their pure apricot color. Beautiful from the time the buds start until the 
petals drop. A bushy grower, always in blossom, even in the hottest 
weather. Fine for cutting. $1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. 
Crimson Glory. (Plant Patent No. 150.) Considered by most people the out- 
standing red Rose. Large, double, deep red flowers borne in huge quan- 
tities on this free-branching bush. The fragrance is delicious. $1.75 each; 
$4.50 for 3. 
Grand Duchess Charlotte. (Propagation Rights Reserved.) All-America. A 
new shade of red seen only in time-mellowed tapestries. A color hitherto 
unknown in Roses. Beautiful, long, stream-lined buds are rich claret color 
and open to firm-petaled blooms that gradually change to a lovely 
begonia-rose. Delicately fragrant. $1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. 
Mary Margaret McBride. (Plant Patent No. 537.) All-America. The perfect 
form of this lovely coral-pink Rose, from the tight bud stage until the 
petals drop, is outstanding. A gold suffusion at the base of the petals. 
A never-fading beauty that should be in every Rose lover's garden. f A : é 
$1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. Apricot Queen 
Crimson Glory 

McGredy’s Sunset. (Plant Patent No. 317.) Just to see the clear golden 
yellow, with scarlet suffusion, of this beautiful Rose in hot summer weather 
when most yellow Roses are changing to a rather faded white is the 
highest recommendation. The color combination grows on you as the 
bloom expands. Highly fragrant flowers in clusters of dark green foliage. 
$1.75 each; $4.50 for 3.

CULTURAL HINTS 
Always dig the hole too large. Be sure of good drainage. Plant 
so that the graft joint is just below the ground. Spread the roots 
well and tamp soil firmly around them. Cut back tops to 4 to 6 
incttes and cover entire plant with moist soil. Remove this cover- 
ing when plants start to show growth (about 10 days.) Repeat 
covering process in late fall for winter protection and best results. 
Prune more than you want to or think necessary.
