BUSH ROSES 
Autumn. And how well the rose is named, for each crisp 
petal, and there are plenty of them, is a riot of brilliant fall 
colors, gold, red, burnt-orange and bronze. Vhe plant grows 
tall and compact and produces its tight buds on long sturdy 
stems continuously from April until Winter. Lush, dark, 
handsome foliage and pleasant fragrance. Hach, $1.00. 
eg California. A unique and lovely shade of ruddy orange 
softened with saffron yellow. While the color of the 
bloom is much stronger during cool wvather it is pleasing at 
all times. Long buds, big crisp petals, recurrent bloom, 
strong stems and vigorous growth. Pat. 449. Each, $1.50. 
Charlotte. \While slightly smaller than the rose Picture, 
which it resembles in many respects, the tight pointed, slow 
opening buds are slightly darker in their charming pink 
coloring. Spicy fragrance, shapely furling petals, gay bloom 
in profusion on a vigorous bushy plant. ach, $1.25. 
@ Charlotte Armstrong. Our advance orders for this va- 
riety the past season were half again as much as for 
any other rose, and for many perfectly good reasons we as- 
sure you. The lone streamlined buds, a uniform cerise red 
in color, open slowly to full deep pink bloom of superb form 
and beauty. Stems are sturdy and plant free growing. A 
remarkable rose in every particular. Pat. 455. Each, $1.50. 
Christopher Stone. Although this rose is good during all 
seasons you will appreciate it most during very warm 
weather when other red roses are apt to be at their worst. 
While the rose darkens as it ages it does not turn purple. 
Tight velvety crimson scarlet buds open slowly to reveal a 
rose of remarkable size and texture. Old rose fragrance. 
Blooms heavily. Each, $1.25. 
Condesa de Sastago. As with several other excellent roses 
the buds of this variety are not at all exciting. But in the 
open bloom the rich, contrasting colors, golden yellow on 
the reverse side of the petals and red and gold on the upper 
surface, present a fiery combination that is irresistible. Bright 
elossy foliage and good growing habits. Each, $1.00. 
GROWERS OF THE BEST IN NURSERY STOCK SINCE 1920! 

Lassie. You'll be happy to make the acquaintance of 
this dainty little maid. Developed in our nursery, and 
tested for several years in our own gardens, we know the 
rose will meet the exacting requirements of the most 
fastidious of rosarians. The buds and bloom resemble 
those of the ever-popular rose Picture as to form of bud 
and flower, also as to growth and foliage. But the shad- 
ing and coloring are most unusual. Tight streamlined 
buds, shrimp pink in color and shaded soft canary yellow 
at the base, unfold their crisp, clean petals, displaying 
upper surfaces of blushing flesh pink, flushed yellow at 
the base. The colors lighten with hot weather but are 
pleasing at all times. An arrangement of buds and half 
open bloom (and we have enjoyed many of them), rich in 
demure pastels, brings to mind the first flush of dawn on 
an autumn morn. Upright growth. 3-3'% ft.
