LASSIE. Our own dainty Miss. (Pat. applied for.) 
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 fas- 
tidious 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 thcg 
shading and coloring are most unusual. Tight stream-§ 
lined buds, shrimp pink in color and shaded soft canary 
yellow at the base, unfold their crisp, clean petals, 
displaying upper 
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. Good stems for cutting. Pat. applied 
for. 
Bach) $1.50:

ot 
blushing 
flesh pink, 
Debonair. Especially lovely and well-nigh perfect in bud 
and half open bloom is this primrose yellow rose with the 
exquisite fragrance of the old Marechal Niel. The buds are 
urn-shaped to ovoid in form; the flower, shapely and of 
medium size, becomes paler as it opens wide. The vigorous, 
upright plant is well covered with broad, dark green, mildew 
resistant foliage. Pat. 677. Each, $1.50. 
Dickson’s Red. A glowing scarlet red rose that not only 
maintains its high color but blooms heavily and continu- 
ously through the hottest summer days. The flowers and 
buds are well shaped. Fragrant. Good stems with few thorns. 
Upright growth. Pat. 376. Each, $1.35. 
Duchess of Athol. A blending of bronze and gold, 
a riot of brilliant colors seen in but few good roses. 
The flowers and buds are borne on exceptionally 
strong maroon colored stems. Vigorous. Each, $1.25. 
Duquesa de Penaranda. To those of us who know 
it well this rose grows lovelier with the passing 
years. Long, clear, apricot pink buds, borne singly on strong 
stems, open slowly into large, full, high centered bloom of 
exquisite form and substance. Bright, glistening foliage and 
good growing habits. While not as floriferous as some va- 
rieties it more than makes up in quality what it lacks in 
quantity. Each, $1.25. 
Eclipse. To judge from the number of bushes you buy 
each season you must appreciate the long tapering exquisitely 
formed buds of this variety as much as we do. The color is 
clear yellow without any shading whatever. The bush grows 
vigorously to a large size and produces prodigal quantities 
of buds on good cutting stems. The open bloom is not nearly 
so attractive as that of some other yellow varieties. Pat. 172.

Etoile de Hollande. There are other red roses that have 
many more petals than this variety, Mirandy for instance, 
others that are more fragrant (Hadley), and still others, or 
at least one other (Southport) which possess a richer color. 
But there is something, many things, about Etoile de Hol- 
lande that really “gets” all of us, the big pointed velvety 
buds, freedom of growth, strong stems and heavy mildew 
proof foliage. It still outsells all other red roses. Each. $1.00.
