McGredy’s 
Ivory 
Santa Anita 
First of all Roses to 
bloom. The color is 
a 
“sunfast,’’ no mat- 
ter how hot or bril - 
liant the sun. 

Pearl Harbor (Plant Patent No. 637) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Memory Rose.’’ Some of the remarkable features of this Rose are 
embodied in a plant of tremendous vigor, possibly unequaled by any 
other Rose in commerce tcday. It will grow and bloom freely under most 
adverse conditions and there is scarcely a period during the season when 
magnificent buds and flowers are not available for garden ornamenta- 
tion or for cutting purposes. The flowers are borne on vigorous canes 
and the bud is exceptionally long and pointed. The upper surface of the 
petals is a delicate shade of shell-pink, with golden bronze shadings at 
the base. The outer, or reverse side of the petals, is vivid Tyrian rose. 
Last, but not least, Pearl Harbor is distinct from most other Hybrid Tea 
Roses in the fact that the plant is practically thornless. Extra fine 
plants, No. 1 XX quality. 
Pink Dawn Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A beautiful new Hybrid Tea Rose with glorious deep rose buds 
opening to lovely pink blooms tinted with orange at the base 
of the petals. Sweetly fragrant, truly double, and of vigorous, 
upright habit. 
Poinsettia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most bril- 
liant red Rose ever produced. ‘Crimson Glory’”’ is admittedly a 
magnificent piece of color, but the color is dull by comparison. 
The name of this Rose is a descriptive one, and was suggested 
by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the American Rose Society. It 
is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The buds are ideal in form, 
long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower, and fine 
as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit 
by American Rose Society, 1938. 
President Herbert Hoover Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, 
flame, scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fra- 
grant. The clean, handsome foliage is an added attraction. 
The brilliancy of the color is somewhat dimmed by hot weather, 
but the cool autumn nights develop tones and tints of almost 
unbelievable richness. 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pink of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting. 
Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its large flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A _ brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and 
yellow shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a ‘‘sport,’’ possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color, which is 
a bright cerise-red. 
San Fernando. (See page 87.) 
Santa Anita (Plant Patent No. 539) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Santa Anita is an outstanding Rose. The perfectly formed, long, pointed 
buds unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach-blossom-pink. 
No matter how hot or how brilliant the sun may be, the color of Santa 
Anita remains pure. There is no bleaching or discoloration from bud 
to faded flower. The color is ‘‘sunfast.’’ Santa Anita is the first Rose 
to bloom and it flowers bountifully from beginning to the end of the 
season. The plants are rugged and not too tall. A lovely pink variety 
which, because of its merits, belongs among the best of the pink Roses. 
Shangri-la _ (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The long-pointed buds of Shangri-la are perfect, and upon opening 
show a rare combination of tints and shades; blush, salmon and rose 
delicately blended yet clear and sparkling like dawn itself. The bushes 
are vigorous with ample dark rich green foliage as well as fine stems 
for cutting. It is our firm belief that the color and freshness of Shangri- 
la will brighten your Rose horizon for many a year. 
Soeur Therese (Sister Therese) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Long, pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the 
open flower is rich Daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet-brier 
fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid cutting stems. You can 
always recognize this Rose from its habit of forming sturdy 3-foot, up- 
right canes which are topped by a “‘lighted’’ candelabra of five or more 
burning yellow blooms. 
Sterling (U. S. Plant Patent No. 21) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent flaming pink flower of superb form in bud as well as open. 
The base of the bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as well as clarity of 
color seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows strongly and 
blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. A sterling novelty. 
Winner of the Hubbard medal. 
Taffeta. (See page 84.) 
Talisman Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Brilliant red and gold buds, opening to well shaped blooms of scarlet- 
orange and rich yellow. Constantly in bloom; the most vivid color yet 
produced in Roses. 
The Doctor Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
This magnificent Howard G Smith Rose is internationally recognized as 
one of the outstanding new Roses. We regard this Rose as one of the 
best; a variety which will be greatly sought after when better known. 
The buds are long and pointed, expand to a simply enormous bloom in 
their fully developed state. The color is an exquisite silvery pink, 
uniform in color both in bud and open flower, with a fragrance so 
intense that it can be detected many yards away. 
Will Rogers (Plant Patent No. 256) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The color is black velvety crimson-maroon, which holds its color till 
the last petal falls. Its fragrance is so intense that a few will scent 
a room with “Attar of Roses’’ fragrance. Strong and vigorous grower 
with dark green foliage retained throughout the season. The blooms 
are quite double, with a beautifully ruffled petal arrangement in 
the open flower. Marvelously free in bloom qualities, bearing lavish 
quantities of flowers from April to the advent of following winter frosts. 
The Rose, cut in early morning and placed in water, will keep in fine 
condition for five or six days, and during this period dispels its most 
delightful fragrance.
