MOUNTAIN STATES ROSES 
These varieties are some which are especially good for the high eleva- 
tions and in some cases are distinctly not good on the seacoast except in the 
latter part of the summer and then of course they are magnificent except 
Mme. Joseph Perraud which has its best place in the mountain states and 
in the dry Kansas-Oklahoma area. There is no question but that any of them 
will be a good rose from my plants any place, but these belong in the above 
classification. 
BRAZIER—This is named after a glowing brazier of coals and is kladescopic 
of the most brilliant orange scarlets, reds with an orange overtone and 
finally when a day old a brilliant magenta. The color effect of this rose is 
startling to say the least, not to mention that it is a terrific bloomer. I 
know of many who use day-old blooms as a floating effect to lighten up a 
display.ce 2c test o's ce pecan es Oe eS EO 8 8 a ee ek ee $1.50 
DR. KIRKE—A gorgeous copper with a touch of salmon on a strong growing 
plant. This does not have its full color except when well watered and 
grown in a very cool, high climate; then it is magnificent with its perfect 
long bud.and is also very double. eee $1.50 
FAITENCE—Two toned peach and cadmium yellow mixed and blended cop- 
pery rose and China pink. These sound like a lot of colors but at times 
you might think you could add some more for in its proper location which 
is high elevations it has almost everything. Though in the coastal areas it 
is only good in the middle of the summer when the temperatures are high. 
It wants lots of light. Really perfect form of both bud and bloom. $1.50 
MME. JOSEPH PERRAUD—This is a gl S orange when grown under 
this heading with perfect form as well BAliBo You who are up high 
be sure to-get this variety. (eee $1.50 
MRS. SAM McGREDY—This most magnificent rose is a steady prize winner 
in all sections. It does not like the hot sections, but I have been taken to 
task by so many customers from those sections that I shall have to amend 
that. My plants seem to please in those areas. Maybe they put them where 
the afternoon shade protects them. Color, which is taken at its best in the 
cool sections and varies exactly according to your heat and lack of hu- 
midity, compliments the long pointed scarlet-copper buds opening to a 
high centered bloom of apricot to salmon pink. Many shrubs are grown 
for their foliage alone—none approach the olive to purplish red of this aa 
TREASURE ISLAND—Gorgeous, extremely long pointed buds that in the 
heat achieve coppery pink with shades of salmon and orange. Its colors are 
best when warm weather comes; in fact, in cool weather in the spring 
it is only a pink rose. Then as it gets warmer it gets richer in color, open- 
ing to a bloom having quilled petals of light salmon edged paler. Originally 
this was a very poor grower but I have constantly improved it every year 
so that now it has ample vigor though it is not a tall grower. Do not whack 
this plant, let it grow as large as possible. You who are in the mountain 
states need this rose badly as it is made for your climate....._-_»__»__ $1.50 
Also, were I to start delivering at the nursery it would cost me much 
more. With labor at 90c per hour I cannot afford to—also, a color catalog 
would cost each buying customer $1.50 more, figuring the usual five cata- 
logs to’a buyer. A fine color catalog would cost about 35c__do not abel 
estmate that volume cannot change this basic factor.
