SONATA (1942)

Erect plant with long strong stems. Very 
free flowering. Stems long and strong 
and the buds are favorites with the flower-

TALISMAN (1929) 
You probably have at least-one Talisman 
in your garden. We would suggest that 
you plant several Talisman bushes, or 
one Climbing Talisman, so that you may 
enjoy a bowl of these lovely flowers all 
season. It is difficult to describe the col- 
ors, as they vary, probably more than 
in any other rose. An attempt might be, 
orange-scarlet and gold with some deep 
yellow, fading to soft apricot and pink. 
Exquisite buds. Long stems, upright 
growth: Each... $1.00 _ 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL (1935) 
This glorious rose is as big and fine and 
strong as President Hoover from which 
it sported. It has a much brighter color, in : 
fact it is sometimes called the Red Hoov- 
er. In every other way, however, it is 
identical to the Hoover rose, than which 
there is no higher praise. There are blood- 
red tones in the fine red buds, toning to © 
cerise red in the center of the flower. 
It is still a deep warm pink when it falls 
apart. Order yours early, as there never 
seem to be enough plants to supply the 
demand. :

FERTILIZING 
Roses are heavy ‘feeders’. Barnyard manure in early spring, fol- 
lowed by frequent applications of commercial fertilizer during the 
summer, will produce lots of good flowers.
