dark green. A variety you will admire in your garden. $3.00 
Rosalie (Auten 1927) 8.78 Here is a little gem for your garden that can occupy a 
space where a tall-growing variety would not be satisfactory. As the name 
implies, it has the appearance of a large rose. Has some stamens, but they are 
well hidden in the depth of the bloom. Full double, medium-sized bloom. 
Clear, rose color, . $2.50 
Sarah Bernhardt (Lemoine 1906) 9.0 A double, late-midseason variety that is much 
in demand as a florists’ variety. The dark rose-pink color, with petals edged a 
trifle lighter, gives an attractive appearance. Was originated in 1906, but still 
is a very popular variety, as it carries in storage very well. Also will be found 
in large collections on the show table competing with more recent originations.

variety. Giant outer petals forming a hollow-centered flower of fine form and 
great size. Pale old-rose or lavender-pink, illumined by yellow stamens in the 
center of the flower, and a pale yellow base on most of the petals. Tall, strong 
stems. An effective flower for shows, also fine for landscape effect. $1.00

esting introduction. Stock very limited. $4.50

mired. Stock in demand and very limited in quantity. None for sale this season. 
Felix Crousse (Crousse 1881) 8.4 A dependable, attractive red that has given satis- 
faction for many years, A variety that will stand the test of time for as many 
years as Felix Crousse has, surely must be good. A great commercial variety 
and holds in storage with the best of them. Color is briliant crimson, of even 
tone and silky luster. Late midseason bloomer and for that reason it has added 
value. Foliage good, but the stems are not as strong as we would like.
