Nocturne (U.S. Plant Patent No. 713) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
This dark red Hybrid Tea variety is very strong growing, bushy, upright, 
and produces many flowers, each with an individual stem. The buds are 
long and gracefully shaped with a form similar to that of Charlotte 
Armstrong ‘in both bud and open flower. The color is dark red with 
maroon shadings. Like most very dark red Roses, it tends to purple some 
in cool weather, but does not seem to do this in hot weather. 



a Peace (U.S. Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
r This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the dawnlike 
range of colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, 
with edges picoteed cerise, to the glorious 5-inch, alabaster blooms,

opens. The shades of color vary, too, from flower to flower and

needs no disbudding to produce exhibition blooms which hold their 
form and freshness longer than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last 
a long time and they are produced all season in endless succession, 
through various stages of opening and changing colors: canary-yellow, 
pale gold, cream, ivory and alabaster; edged cerise, rose or apple- 
blossom-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, has given the world many 
beautiful Roses, yet of this he says: ‘This is a rare discovery and 
only takes place once iin the career of an originator.” 

Pearl Harbor (Plant Patent No. 637) Each $1.25, Doz. $14.00 
“The Memory Rose.’’ Some of the remarkable features of this Rose are 
embodied in a plant of tremendous vigor, possibly unequalled by any 
other Rose in commerce today. 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 of 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
