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 pet 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 nor mally 
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 year’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. 

Some rose varieties are delightfully fragrant. The text 
will tell the story.

in this strikingly brilliant rose. The long pointed 
buds are borne plentifully on good stems. Pat.

Sister Therese. Being a thrifty grower and easy 
of culture this variety has long been a favorite 
i with the average gardener. 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 bloom- 
ing of white roses. And that isn’t all! While of

ness. And in addition you will enjoy full spicy 
fragrance, vigorous free branching growth, con- 
stant succession of bloom. It’s a winner. Each,

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
