Betty Uprichard. H.Tea. Patent 23. (1922) An exceptionally fine plant, 
performing well anywhere, but at its best in the cooler districts. Flowers are large, 
14 petals, very fragrant, delicate salmon-pink, reverse carmine, with a distinct 
coppery sheen; in constant bloom. Will grow to five feet. 1.50 
Billy Boiler. | (Climbing.) H. Tea. (1927.) An Australian creation of the 
great Allister Clark. Dazzling red blooms, of fine form and fragrance, are pro- 
duced constantly all season on a vigorous but easily controlled plant. In our opinion 
rates with the best of the red climbing roses, and makes a stunning pillar. 1.50 
Black Prince. H. Perpetual (1866). A very large, cupped, full-petalled 
rose of darkest crimson, shaded black; especially fine fragrance. Vigorous, tall- 
growing and regal; heavy summer and fall bloom. One of our leading “memory 
roses,” never before with us in adequate supply. Please order early. 2.00 
Blanc Double de Coubert. H. Rugosa (1892). Of active, spreading 
habit, with handsome rugose foliage. Its large, semi-double flowers are “‘pure as 
sunshine glancing on a white dove’s wing,” delicately and deliciously scented. 
Says Neville Miller, Pennysylvania, who includes it among his prime favorites— 
“Earliest blooms smelled like lily of the valley; subsequent flowers have a ‘white 
rose’ odor, which, by comparison, makes modern white roses seem scentless.” 1.50 
Bloomfield Courage. Rambler (1925.) Vigorous but adaptable climbing 
type, and a striking pillar rose, in constant bloom. Its small single flowers are of 
dark velvety red, with light centers and prominent yellow stamens, borne in large 
clusters. Good anywhere but for maximum brilliancy and sparkle, we like it best 
in full sun. No bad habits, outstanding; highly recommended. 1.50 
Bloomfield Dainty. — Everblooming semi-climber (1924). Similar in 
flowering habit to Bloomfield Courage; its profuse clusters are of deep canary- 
yellow, with the happy faculty of shedding quickly when finished; excellent as a 
climber and likes to embrace a six foot pillar stake. 1.50 
Cardinal de Richelieu. Gallica (1840). Last year’s catalogue description 
was unfair to his grace, as he is no “blue rose” but comes out spring-dressed in 
voluminous robes of rich dark violet and maroon. A rose garden without the 
famous Cardinal lacks that certain eminence, which only he can give. 1.50 
Cascadia. 1925.) Captain Thomas created this tall growing shrub, in a 
cross with one of his famous roses, Bloomfield Abundance. Produces in fine panicles 
of one inch white flowers, showing green stamens, and like all the Bloomfield family, 
is in constant bloom; particularly fine, dark, glossy foliage. One of the bright, 
sparkling notes in our little display garden which fronts the Lester cottage. 1.50 
Castilian. (Rose of Castile) Ancient. One of the oldest roses known to 
history—truly the Rose of Romance. Flower is double, soft pink, entrancingly 
fragrant with the true attar of roses. In our damp location, Castilian cannot open 
to perfection, but customer reports are enthusiastic elsewhere. Worth an honored 
place in every old-fashioned garden, if for its perfume alone. 1.50 
cama, 
“To have in our garden the very rose of which Petrarch or 
Chaucer wrote, or one which Botticelli painted so lovingly, will, 
to most of us, lend an added glow of beauty.
