California (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) We regard this sensa- 
tional novelty as outstanding among the numerous varieties we have 
contributed to the Rose world through our efforts in plant breeding. 
The color is a glorious shade of ruddy orange toned with saffron- 
yellow, with the exterior of the broad petals overlaid with saturn-rose 
—a dual tone effect of indescribable richness of beauty. Buds long 
and pointed, flowers of enormous size, reaching a diameter of five to 
six inches. Growth vigorous, with healthy, glossy green foliage. 

Charlotte Armstrong (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) A Rose of a most unusual 
color, blood-red in the bud, opening to cerise in hot weather and to 
spectrum-red in cool weather, while the beautiful shape and extreme 
length of the bud, with its long, clasping sepals and the extreme florif- 
erousness and vigor of growth and large, luxurious foliage, make it a 
most satisfactory Rose in all respects. The bud is long and pointed; the 
flower is 3 or 4 inches in diameter, high-centered, never showing the 
center. The foliage is leathery, semi-glossy, deep green and highly re- 
sistant to mildew. 
Christopher Stone Each $1.10, Doz. $11.00 
Large, semi-double, vivid scarlet flowers overlaid with velvety crimson. 
Has a delicious old rose scent. Of vigorous, upright growth with bright 
green foliage. 
Commando Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The lovely flower is a marvel of delicacy. Huge flowers of the most 
delicate salmon-pink with brilliant yellow toward the base of the petals, 
lighting up the effect with incandescence. A fine new variety worthy 
of a place in every garden. 
Contrast Each $1.10, Doz. $11.00 
The combination of colors to be noted in this exquisite bicolored Rose 
catches the eye at once; the reverse of the petals is milk-white with 
basal bronze shading, the upper face a superb shade of orange-rose. 
Flowers full petaled, fairly fragrant, produced in enormous quantity over 
the full Rose season, grand for cutting purposes. This novelty has 
elicited over the past two years numerous encomiums from all parts of 
the U. S. A., England, and even far off Australia.

Long, pointed, orange-copper buds. The flowers are large, double, high-

ened with salmon. The blooms are borne on long stems.

Apricot Queen (Patented) 
Everblooming 
Here we list only the very choicest and most popular varieties of 
Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is 
familiar. Duplicates as well as inferior varieties have been discon- 
tinued. All are good growers and free flowering and will provide you 
Anzac (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Has all the qualifications of a winner: vigor, ruggedness 
and dependability. Anzac, like the Douglas MacArthur, 
needs no coddling. Give Anzac the ordinary requisites 
that Roses require and you will be more than gratified 
with the successful results. The vigorous growth of Anzac 
foretells the advent of many shapely buds and beautiful 
flowers. Buds of coral washed with gold unfold into 
perfectly formed Camellia-like flowers. As these flowers 
expand, the original colors lighten, the golden flush at 
the base of the petals passes to yellow and the coral 
changes to rosy lake. 
Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Awarded All-America Rose Selection, 1940.) A lovely com- 
bination of colors is to be noted in this glorious new Rose. Orange 
and apricot at the base of the petals, merging to salmony rose 
and Phlox-pink in the fully developed bloom is descriptive. The 
bud is long-pointed. The fully developed flower shows a regular, 
well-placed petal arrangement. A good strong grower, with hand- 
some, leathery foliage which serves as a splendid foil to the per- 
fectly formed buds and open blooms.
