Heart’s Desire. Patent 501. All-America award 1941. Our good friend, 
Mrs. Carlton Stull, is so enthusiastic about this rose, it is fitting we should use her 
own words to describe it for you, ‘“'Heart’s Desire! Now there is my idea of a red 
rose! Planted three weeks later than the others, it is right up with them in growth 
and it has been putting out great big, luscious, show-quality blooms all the time. 
That rose enjoys life; it eats and grows and throws its weight around. That lusty, 
boistrous quality tickles me!” (Bravo, Mrs. Stull! How about you writing the rose 
descriptions for the catalogue next year?) 
Both bush and climbing types available. 1.50 
Hinrich Gaede. Rated 75% by the A.R.S. and given Honorable Mention 
by the N.R.S. of England. Best described nasturtium red, shaded orange, 50 petals; 
raspberry fragrance. Probably best in the interior districts. Gives generously 
throughout the season, and is an outstanding beauty. 1.50 
Lucie Marie. A big, luscious rose, of excellent form—buttercup yellow, 
shaded salmon, moderately fragrant, grown on a robust plant. Included by us this 
spring, in the 25 roses, considered most worthy, out of a display of some 500 
varieties 1s 0 
Mark Sullivan. Patent 599. Good anywhere, but superb in the cooler dist- 
ricts, where its striking color—yellow flushed Tyrian rose, appears in richest and 
most varied tones. Dr. Gage, Pasadena, says of it, “Very vigorous growth; profuse 
all-season bloomer; spring and fall flowers exceedingly colorful.” It has been this 
writers special pleasure on frequent occasions, to gather the roses used by Southern 
California’s best-liked speaker, to illustrate his rose talks. The one variety that 
never failed us avy time, was Mark Sullivan, always ready with a gay and scintillat- 
ing bouquet. 1.50 
McGredy’sIvory. (Portadown Ivory.) Thought by many who should 
know, the finest white rose in commerce; rated 97% (a record) by the American 
Rose Society, and granted a First Class Certificate by the NRS of England. Long 
pointed buds, of creamy white, open to 28 petalled blooms of great distinction. A 
white rose should be big, handsome, and fragrant. McGredy’s Ivory is all three. 1.50 
McGredy’s Yellow. The rose world owes much to the McGredy family, 
Portadown, Ireland, who have given us many prize-winning roses, of which 
McGredy’s yellow is probably the most popular. Rated 80% by the A.R.S., and 
given first place by the English professionals last year, in their Exhibition and 
Garden Rose class. This is a 27 petalled rose of lovely form. Is at its best near the 
coast, where the soft yellow blooms are unfading, but not to be denied to the 
interior district, for spring and fall blooming. 
Both bush and climbing types available. 1.50 
Mirandy. Patent 632. Another big, double (40-50 petals) rose, from the 
hybridizing genius of W. E. Lammerts. To discuss, “vigor, disease-resistance, and 
plant habit” about an All-America winner, seems superfluous, for no rose which 
is lacking in these qualities can reach top honors. But Mirandy is acknowledged 
to be moody in the coastal regions, and thrives best in the interior sunshine, where 
it is an exceptional beauty. Color is garnet-red, with that sweet, spicy fragrance. 
Grows to about 214 feet and needs no coddling. 2.00
