coddling, asks no favors. It has grown well and proven its value and 
worth in all sections of our country. The strong bushes send up numer- 
ous shoots which are loaded with an unbelievable number of buds. As a 
flag unfurls, the long, graceful, Tulip-shaped buds open slowly into 
glorious flowers of fine proportions. To specify the color of this Rose

salmon are all exquisitely blended into a flower of regal beauty. 
Duquesa de Penaranda Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50

pointed; the fragrance is delightful. This gorgeous Rose was created

duced. The rich contrasting bright color is its outstanding feature. The 
outside of the petals is rich chrome-yellow, sometimes overlaid with 
pink, changing to straw-yellow in the open bloom. This yellow color is

admiration at first glance. The buds are long-pointed, opening out into

shade in the center of the flower while the outer edges of the flower 
petals turn a pale pinkish buff. Hill Top is a very free blooming variety

ings, opening to a gorgeous Chrysanthemum-red. The flower displays

yellow Rose is a fragrance retrieved from the past, recalling the fra- 
grance that hung over China Tea Roses in old and forgotten gardens 
of long, long ago. The perfect form, delightful perfume, sheer ele- 
gance and vigorous growth, combined with those indefinable qualities 
that breeding alone can convey, truly depict the patrician in ‘“Mme.

changes to a soft satiny pink, with an attractive tinge, but does not 
lose any of its loveliness and is usually clear and fresh at all times.
