CRIMSON GLORY, Pat. 105—A rose worthy of its lovely name, with a point- 
ed bud opening to a big, fully double, high centered rich crimson bloom 
of pure velvet; it might have posed for all the pictures of the ideal rose 
down through the ages. Powerfully fragrant with richest damask perfume. 
Very heavy blooming and healthy, on a vigorous but low compact plant 
perfect for bedding..................... $1.50 each; $15.00 doz. No further discount. 
CRIMSON KING—This is the Brightest of the very double red roses and 
also holds its color, has perfect conventional form. However it lacks the 
fragrance of Crimson Glory. It is very different; tho I would not place 
it above the top one of the “Big Three Red Roses.” Hach........................ $1.50 
DIRECTOR RUBIO—Has extremely long and deep pink buds, opening to 
rich pink roses with large petals that have wonderful color stability, tho 
it may lose petalage in the hot east. If this Variety is not pruned very 
much it will give these marvelous buds one on a stem. It is also quite 
hardy as it is a H. P. even tho a dwarf one. It is reminiscent of a huge 
pink “waterlily.> Bachna ee $1.50 
ETOILE D’HOLLANDE—tThe Standard by which all new roses are judged, 
it is the oldest of the big thrae—Crimson Glory and Christopher Stone— 
which for the major section of the country are by far the best crimson 
roses. For most of thle United States it is far superior to the new “Hearts 
Desire,’ which is a conditional rose—that is, superb under some condi- 
tions and mediocre under others— or “Mirandy,” which under many con- 
ditions turns an ugly purple. The plant of Etoile d’Hollande as well as the 
bloom will stand much more heat and still look well than the latter vari- 
eties; in fact, for Pacific Northwest conditions the me others of the “big 
three” are bestsics. 22d se Des ak Ue BS rt ange $1.50 
FRAU E. WEIGAND—This superb everblooming light yellow rose has al- 
most everything for those desiring a really hardy yellow rose. It always 
has been perfectly hardy with me when we had a zero winter and all the 
other roses were frozen to the ground. In addition it ig perfectly healthy 
not getting blackspot at all when all others lost their leaves. The only 
reason for its not becoming known is. possibly because of harsh sound 
of the German name to our English attuned ears. Because I could not 
again after the war build up my stock of it from my two plants I will not 
have many to sell this season. No further discount. Hach.............00......... $2.00 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI—This beloved, huge, snow white rose is one 
which will always live in many gardens as it is very hardy and has huge 
long pointed buds opening to great snow white flowers and makes a huge 
bush, too. In fact, it has to be or else the buds come in huge trusses and 
make disbudding difficult. Allow at least t ti the room for it as 
for the average H.T. for it is hardy and naSObDo OU grow to really get 
nice buds:without too -manye2. 2 hea $1.50 
GIRONA—A uniquely lovely rose, possibly the most fragrant rose in ex- 
istence under widely varied conditions, breathing forth richest damask 
perfume. The always pointed buds are crimson and gold, unfolding with 
a butterfly effect into a lovely blossom with waved petals, of rich yellow 
tipped with rose. As the blossom ages the rose color first recedes, then 
extends over the petals, deepening day by day until they drop, seemingly 
as fresh as when the bud unfolded. The petals have a crystalline texture 
that adds to its beauty. Fully opened blossoms of Girona may be floated 
in bowls and kept for days in the house, always sweetly fragrant. A very 
healthy, strong growing, tall, upright plant that stands heavy bloom cut- 
ting, with foliage extending up to the neck of the bloom. It could be 
called the rainbow rose as it comes different in every weather and always 
superb. I have seen it in full bloom in the nursery when the temperature
