SHOW AND EXHIBITION ROSES 
MRS. SAM McGREDY—Onhne of the most satisfactory roses when grown from 
my plants. It is difficult in the midwestern states.unless it has afternoon 
shade. I know that one of my customers won a sweepstake with it in a 
midwestern show a year ago and I list it in show roses even though it is 
one of the most popular garden roses. It is still a very heavy show winner. 
Because of poor reports from it when grown from other sources I have 
previously been cataloging it as not for the hot middle states. But since 
so many of my customers have contradicted me that I now believe that 
plant quality has a lot to do with the performance of the variety. It has 
long, pointed, scarlet-copper buds opening to a double high centered bloom 
with every petal edge rolled back at the edge—its open color is apricot

PEACE, Pat. No. 591—Will really grow strongly in all sections of the coun- 
try, as it will really grow in every climate in the whole U. S. A. A huge 
rose varying from yellow with petals edged red in the cool of Puget Sound 
area to a creamy ivory edged pink in the hot sections. It has very glossy 
foliage right up to the neck of the bloom. Even to my conservative view- 
point it looks good. Tho this has been winning many awards, it is definite- 
ly because of the fact that most people consider it new, YET IT IS THE 
SAME TYPE THAT OUR GRANDPARENTS, Called Hybrid Perpetuals! 
oer Huge Roses on very long stems with a great many leaves before the 
flowers forms. This they became tired of, and about that time along came 
the HYBRID TEA with many less leaves before it bloomed so consequent- 
ly more blooms. So with a whoop they embraced it__not because it was 
more beautiful, as beauty is constant, so do not confuse beauty with style 
which is a capricious and fickle mode of the moment but because they had 
the optimum and wanted something different. Mind you, HAD as the H. 
P. went out with most people about 30 years ago. Who said we had any- 
thing new? My book fully discusses this phase of Human frailties. Yep., 
this type of rose is older than the judging rules now in force and it is win- 
ning many prizes tho it definitely is not the tops of exhibition roses so 
that is why I am putting it way wn here at the end of the Exhibition 
O. K. “WILL TILLOTSEN” I know you will chortle at my “Rose of 
Yesterday.” Well, just as I am writing this, one of my customers with a 
plant from me did it again by winning the sweepstakes at the huge Port- 
land, Oregon, June Rose Show after doing it last year at the Fall Rose 
Show. The price of this is reduced this season.__$2.00 each; $20.00 doz. No 
further discount. 
JULIA COUNTESS OF DARTNEY—Forget this terrible Handle and all of 
you in the northwest will have a superb remontant or recurring climber 
of magnificent form possibly the most consistent exhibition form of any 
rose also of huge size. But on the hot east the color is a poor Rose color 
exactly the same as American Beauty which is the Old Mme. Ferdinand 
Jamin renamed. But in the northwest it is a georgeous rose red with

PAULS LEMON PILLAR—A rather slow climber and under certain condi- 
tions makes magnificent roses but there is only one good crop under most 
conditions, also it will ball under difficult conditions tho for instance in 
the cool of Puget Sound area it is superlative. Very definitely is it not
