STANDARD BUSH ROSES (Continued) 
MRS. SAM McGREDY 
Copper and pink, red and orange are the 
colors of this lovely rose. In bud it is pre 
dominantly scarlet and orange, the open 
bloom is a coppery pink. This rose has a 
distinctly “sweet-briar” fragrance. Stems 
and leaves are bright bronze-green so that 
the plant is colorful even when it is not 
blooming: 
PADRE 
Sunrise, sunset and mid-day all rolled into 
one fiery rose. Slender coppery scarlet 
buds open into flowers of the same color 
with gold added at the base. Before the 
flowers fall they change to shades of pink 
Strong, erect grower. 
PICTURE 
This is generally accepted as the finest 
pink rose grown. It is tops in bud and 
bloom; the color is a clear, warm pink, 
fragrant and long lasting. And it seems to 
be constantly in bloom. 
PINK DAWN 
Long, well-shaped buds opening to full 
centered flowers of deep rose-pink with a 
kronze and gold base. A strong upright 
grower, and an excellent cutting rose. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER 
As well known as the man whose name 
it bears. It is multi-colored, ranging through 
many shades of apricot, pink, cerise and 
creamy yellow. Buds and open flowers are 
large and vigorous and are borne singly 
on strong, straight stems. One of the finest 
roses for cutting. Delightfully fragrant and 
always dependable

The bud is orange and gold, opening to a 
semidouble flower of coppery rose and 
golden yellow. The foliage is bright green 
and very resistant to mildew. Does well in 
cool places.

Large, long, well-shaped buds and very 
high-centered flowers of a deep lemon yel- 
low with deeper shadings at the base cf 
the petals. 
SISTER THERESE 
A golden yellow rose, the long slender 
buds marked with carmine. The open bloom 
is a clear, delicate yellow tinged with apri- 
cot pink. It has a spicy fragrance and is 
suitable for cutting as each bloom is borne 
on a stiff stem, from 6 to 8 inches long. Fre- 
quently from 5 to 15 roses appear simul- 
taneously, each carried on its own sturdy 
stem. 
SOUTHPORT 
One of the finest red roses introduced in 
recent years. Color is bright red, with a 
hint of gold at the heart of the bloom. 
Has a spicy fragrance that is very pleasing. 
The plant is a vigorous grower and is con- 
tinuously in bloom. 
TALISMAN 
This is, truly, the queen among roses, for 
it is known and loved everywhere. The 
colors are vivid contrasts of gold, rose-pink 
and carmine. 

THE DOCTOR 
Long pointed buds of exquisite silvery pink 
open to enormous blooms of the same uni- 
form color, with a fragrance so iniense that 
it can be detected many yards away.

VICTORIA HARRINGTON 
Dark red and velvety. The magnificent 
color is unfading even in hot weather. The 
pointed blackish red buds have reflexed 
petals; in the open flower the petals curl 
back into a distinct cactus form, unlike any 
other rose. It has a very pleasing fragrance.
