much more lively and lasting. The petals are velvety and of 
substantial texture. Mild fragrance. Each, $1.25. 
Grand Duchess Charlotte. Exquisite buds of intense cop- 
pery scarlet open to double medium sized flowers of glowing 
carmine—rich full color found in but few good roses. The

pled for. Each, $1.50. 
Grenoble. Huge, brilliant, crimson-scarlet blooms, ex- 
tremely double and spicily fragrant are borne on long sturdy

better roses. Each, $1.00.

centered flowers of the same color. Unfading. Marvelous 
fragrance. Plenty of good leathery foliage. Blooms con- 
tinuously. Patent 501. Each, $1.50. 
Hinrich Gaede. For exciting color you cannot match this 
variety. In our own rose fields we have derived more rea! 
pleasure from this variety than from any other. We have 
cut many thousands of these long bright vermilion buds. 
Opening, as they do, into high centered flowers of vermilion, 
copper and orange they are unbelievably beautiful. The foli- 
age is dark, waxy and highly resistant to mildew. Each, $1.25. 
Hoosier Beauty. Dazzling crimson, veined heavily with 
maroon. A velvety sheen heightens the brilliant coloring. 
Flowers will not turn purple with age. Each, $1.25.

bloom. It tries to impress you with its importance by cover- 
ing itself with long medium sized buds and full flowers. 
Sweetly fragrant. Each, $1.25. 

ECLIPSE—Still the most popular of the yellows. Pat. 172.

Through the years many of you folks have asked what 
varieties of roses will grow in shade. Under certain condi- 
tions some sorts of roses will prove quite satisfactory with a 
minimum of sun. (We just attempted to explain the condi- 
tions and enumerate the varieties but soon found ourselves 
tangled among several long and complicated paragraphs, so 
we'll just skip the matter.) Ask us about them when you 
come in. 

CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG—Cut flowers are lasting.
