MAJORCA—In our cool rainy spring weather as well as cool fall weather 
this glorious rose shines like a flame that in the summer fades to a 
pinky salmon. It has a very vigorous plant. For the Puget Sound area 
it is remarkable with its glossy foliage and nicely formed buds and

MARK SULLIVAN, Pat. No. 599—Even though this rose will grow in the 
hot East, it will not have the spectacular scarlet buds flamed yellow 
opening to large blooms of yellow margined and splashed red. Has very 
glossy red olive foliage and a strong growing plant that can give you a 
lot of cut flowers. Makes me think of tulip Kiserkroen.

MAYOR BAKER—A very fragrant coral rose that really holds its color 
and has a very healthy plant that is practically blackspot free. One of 
the really good cut flower roses. This will grow in any section of the 
country but will be rather lacking in petalage in the hot sections. $1.50 
McGREDY’S WONDER—Only for the coastal areas and there it is a 
magnificent orange with an unbelievably long bud and glossy red olive 
foliage. Late in our fall weather it is the same way here. A vigorous

SIGNORA, Pat. No. 201—This strong growing rose is magnificent in all of 
the Northwest, particularly along the seacoast where it makes an enormous 
bud and flower of salmon red shading through copper to a yellow base. 
However, this rose will grow anywhere and perform, too—although when 
it gets into the hot areas the color is vastly different. See “Hennessey: on 
Roses” for an explanation of these color vagaries. It has very glossy fol- 
lage, too. Really a good rose.__....$1.50 each; $15.00 doz. No further discount. 
SATURNIA, Pat. No. 349—This has an unbelievably long bud of red and 
yellow reverse with a glossy foliaged plant. Has won many sweepstakes 
in rose shows—but its color is only in our cool wet spring and immed-

SOUV. de JEAN SOUPERT—Even though this rose will grow in almost 
any climate, it will only hold its deep copper yellow in the cool of the 
Northwest or the mountain areas. It has a marvelously long and perfect 
bud with very glossy foliage. If it did not have this glossy foliage it would 
be classed as a tea as it has all of the other good qualities including the 
fine tea type plant. This is one of, if not the best Yellow for the seacoast 
and Puget Sound as well as inland up to a hundred miles. EFach______ $1.50 
PRINCESS AMEDE de BROGLIE (pronounced “broy”’)—Of all the red and 
yellow reversed roses this has the most stable color as well as having 
better foliage. This differs from the rest in being a decided two-tone and

TO THE CUSTOMERS OF THE PUGET SOUND AREA 
As so much of your so-called soil is nothing more than water washed 
sand and gravel (Glacial Moraine), naturally I would expect that when 
planting in such material you would try to put some soil in the holes when 
planting roses, but be very careful that you do not get barnyard soil infected 
with nematode as that would practically insure that your roses would not 
grow. Also when you have such perfect drainage as the most of your area 
has, there is no danger from a small amount of fertilizer under the plants 
and not against the roots.
