GRAND DUCHESS CHARLOTTE (Pat. applied for) 
You'll enjoy the rich coloring of this outstanding rose. 
w# Peace. Through every stage of development from bud 
to fully opened bloom this surprising rose is a perfect 
example of correct behavior. In the tight deep yellow bud 
each petal is outlined with cerise. As the many petaled bloom 
unfurls deep changes to soft yellow, and even to frosty white, 
but the pink shading of the petal tips remains in varying 
intensity throughout the life of the flower. The flower is 
enormous, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and the artistic arrange- 
ment of the heavy petals beats anything we have ever seen 
in a rose. Vigorous disease resistant bush, strong stems, 
bright foliage. Lasting bloom. Pat. 591. Each, $2.00.

Rose Marie. For many years this variety outsold all other 
pink roses. While some newer pink roses have stronger 
stems, where will you find a rose to equal it in long taper- 
ing rose pink buds, honey sweet fragrance and quantity of 
bloom? Each, $1.00. 
San Fernando. The first bloom we were privileged 
to pick of this variety we carried about with us an 
entire afternoon drinking its heavenly fragrance and beauty. 
From our observation, so far, we think it the best red rose 
since Heart’s Desire and it has at least one quality the latter 
sometimes lacks—streneth of stem. For fragrance it is ex- 
celled by none. Firm, appealing buds of currant red open to 
full, lasting (30 heavy textured petals) glowing scarlet flow- 
ers that retain their form, velvety sheen and perfume until 
the petals fall. Lasting bloom, compact vigorous growth, 
heavy dark green foliage. Pat. pending, Each, $2.00. 
San Gabriel. A new rose, offered for the first time to the 
public in 1947, with very large, long, pointed buds of deep 
salmon pink and large, high-centered, very double blooms, 
that are borne singly, making them perfect for cutting. The 
plant is very vigorous and bushy in growth and has abun- 
dant leathery light green foliage. The rose is a profuse and 
continuous, moderately fragrant bloomer. Pat. applied for. 
Each, $2.00. 
San Luis Rey. If you want a multitude of shapely double, 
vivid yellow flowers on a handsome bush, here is a new rose 
that fills the bill. The flowers are similar to Snowbird in 
size and shape (about 2% inches across). The plant is espe- 
cially attractive, 30 inches tall, very bushy and with glossy 
foliage. a valuable addition to the garden even when it is 
not in bloom. Pat. applied for. Each, $2.00. 
Santa Anita. We have a bone to pick with some of you 
folks. This variety happens to be one of our net weaknesses 
and of late you have been neglecting it sadly. When properly 
grown we consider this the most satisfactory clear pink rose. 
Long pointed buds that open slowly, big crisp petals (25 of 
them) evenly spaced and colored, that form a full, high 
centered rose of unusual shape and beauty. While normally 
of only average growth, the bush may be grown to large 
size. Suggestions: Fertilize freely, keep flowers picked, at 
pruning time cut back heavy wood of last vear’s growth to 
three strong buds. Remove no other wood. You'll have more 
flowers than you can shake a stick at. Pat. 530. Each, $1.25. 
Show Girl. Because of its long deep pink buds, full long- 
lasting rich pink open flowers and sturdy stems you'll find

You'll like the sturdv manner in which the bush grows, too.

Sister Therese. Being a thrifty grower and easy of culture 
this variety has long been a favorite with the average gar- 
dener. Ruddy orange buds, streaked with red, long and 
shapely, are borne on long stems that radiate in all directions 
from the heavier canes. The flowers are semi-double and 
bright yellow. While not too long lasting, when cut, the 
bloom is borne in prodigious quantities. Disease resistant 
foliage. An informal bush that really goes places. Each, $1.00. 
Snowbird. Unquestionably the heaviest blooming of white 
roses, And that isn’t all! While of only medium size, each 
slender tight bud, each full high centered flower is a picture 
of loveliness. And in addition you will enjoy full spicy fra- 
grance, vigorous free branching growth, constant succession 
of bloom. It’s a winner. Each, $1.25. 
Sonata. As with several other excellent roses this bush 
requires a little time to really get going, the second year 
usually being much better than the first. The color of the 
long tight buds, deep Camellia rose, is bolder than that of 
any other good pink rose and quite unusual in its unique 
shades. Urn-shaped bloom, high centered and full (about 
30 petals, darker outside than in) are at their best in hot 
weather. Good cutting stems, glossy foliage, free branching 
bush, mild fragrance. Pat. 732. Each. $1.50.
