Mme. Jules Bouche Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and without question 
the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers 
are large, quite dcuble and of slpendid form. It is fragrant, a vigorous 
grower and very free flowering. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Slender yellow buds ond large, well-shaped blooms of bright canary- 
yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Medium sized long, pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi- 
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. 
The plant is of strong, vigorous, compact growth. A profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer. 
New Yorker (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The perfectly formed, high-centered blooms are scarlet with rose-red 
undertones and each petal is overlaid with a rich sheen of velvet. Plants 
* bloom heavily in June on luxurious, vigorous, 3-ft. plants with a breath- 
taking succession of flowers from then until cold weather. 
Nocturne (U.S. Plant Patent No. 713) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
All-America Selection for 1946. This new red Rose has one of the long- 
est, most perfect, streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in its color. 
The color is bright cardinal-red with dark, deep intriguing shadings of 
Chrysanthemum-crimson. The large petals have good substance, are 
richly textured, and there are plenty of them so that the flower lasts a 
long time. In hot weather the color becomes somewhat lighter. The 
blooms of NOCTURNE are pleasantly fragrant, although not approaching 
Mirandy in this respect. The stems are long, the foliage large, abundant, 
and semi-glossy. The plant displays plenty of vigor and quickly grows 
into a big sturdy bush in the garden. Reports from the official All- 
America test gardens throughout the country were uniformly good, and 
other test plantings have aroused much enthusiasm. 
Peace (U.S. Plant Patent No. 591) Each $2.00 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. One marvel of it is the downlike range 
of colors through which it passes, from opening yellow buds, with edges 
picoteed cerise, to the glorious 5-inch, alabaster blooms, each petal edged 
with pink that seems to deepen as the flower slowly opens. The shades 
of color vary, too, from flower to flower and through the changing sea- 
sans. Though the bloom is unusually large, long lasting and constantly 
fresh !ooking, its effect is always delicate and lovely. The individual petals 
are long and of great substance, gradually opening, a few at a time, 
around a high-pointed center, to a great, golden hearted, very double, 
fully open flower. The plant is as superior as the bloom, and in the same 
large-scale way. The flowers are borne singly on heavy stems so strong 
and straight. It 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-blos- 
som-pink. M. Meilland, the hybridizer, has given the world many beau- 
tiful Roses, yet of this he says: ‘This is a rare discovery and only takes 
place once in the career of an originator.’ 
Phyllis Gold ‘ Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A magnificent deep yellow flower of excellent form in bud as well as 
when fully open. The base of the bloom is somewhat deeper yellow giv- 
ing it a richness as well as clarity of color. It has good foliage and is a 
strong grower, blooms freely. A sterling variety; we consider it one of 
the best yellow Roses. 
Poinsettia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most brilliant red 
Rose ever produced. ‘’Crimson Glory’’ is admittedly a magnificent piece 
of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this Rose is a 
descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the 
American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The buds are 
ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower and 
fine as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
American Rose Society, 1938. 
President Herbert Hoover Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fragrant. The clean, 
handsome foliage is an added attraction. The brilliancy of the color is 
somewhat dimmed by hot weather, but the cool autumn nights develop 
tones and tints of almost unbelievable richness. 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pink of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting. 
Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
' 
An ideal bedding Rose that continues to produce its long flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and 
yellow shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a “‘sport,’’ possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color which is 
a bright cerise-red. 
Rubaiyat = (Plant Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
A brilliant red with a profusion of long, graceful buds appearing in 
early June. As the buds open, releasing their wealth of ald rose fra- 
grance, a glorious riot of deep, scintillating crimson is revealed. Out- 
side of the petals accented by a delicate, lighter shade. 
San Fernando (U. S. Plant Patent No. 785) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The introduction of this grand Rose is an important milestone in the 
production of better red Roses. Competent judges who have seen the 
elegant red Rose in bloom, rank it high among the best of its color. 
The bright vermilion buds are long and pointed, opening into fully double 
flowers of vermilion-scarlet. In addition to the elegant form and bril- 
liant color, SAN FERNANDO has another outstanding quality—intense 
and lasting fragrance. The vigorous growth, fine foliage, brilliant color 
and pointed form are sufficient qualities to recommend any Rose, but 
but when you add the spicy old rose fragrance to these qualities, it can 
be truthfully said that San Fernando, the new red Rose, will be among 
the leading varieties for a long time to come. 
Santa Anita (Plant Patent No. 539) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Santa Anita is an outstanding Rose. The perfectly formed, long, pointed 
buds unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach-blossom-pink. 
No matter how hot or how brilliant the sun may be, the color of Santa 
Anita remains pure. There is no bleaching or discoloration from bud to 
faded flower. The color is ‘‘sunfast.” Santa Anita is the first Rose to 
bloom and it flowers bountifully from beginning to the end of the sea- 
son. The plants are rugged and not too tall. A lovely pink variety 
which, because of its merits, belongs among the best of the pink Roses. 
Shangri-la (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The long, pointed buds of Shangri-la are perfect, and upon opening show 
a rare combination of tints and shades; blush, salmon and rose delicately 
blended yet clear and sparkling like dawn itself. The bushes are vig- 
orous with ample dark rich green foliage as well as fine stems for cut- 
ting. It is our firm belief that the color and freshness of Shangri-la will 
brighten your Rose horizon for many a year. 
Show Girl (Plant Patent No. 646) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Rose with Magnificent Buds.’ If you want to enjoy the most 
beautiful, the most perfect, and the longest deep pink Rose buds you can 
imagine, be sure to plant this variety. The sensational buds are deep 
pink, almost carmine in the spring, opening to a softer tone but always 
deep pink. We think it is one of the finest pink Roses of all for cutting 
because of the magnificence of the buds and the lasting quality of the 
flower with its big heavy textured petals. Tall, rather slender, with big 
heavy canes and plenty of lovely fiowers borne on long sturdy stems. 
Show Girl has never been given full credit for its fine performance, but 
it is steadily growing in popularity. 
Sleigh Bells — (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The large, ovoid buds are borne singly on exceedingly long stems, and 
are produced so freely that you can gather quantities for the table. The 
flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, with 40 or more petals 
of heavy substance, and are lovely in all stages. A trace of primrose at 
the base of the petals adds life to the flower. Unusual for white Roses, 
the stems are clothed with thick, leathery, glossy foliage that is ex- 
ceptionally disease resistant. Best of all, this white Rose is really fra- 
grant. Sleigh Bells is the better white Rose you have been looking for. 
Soeur Therese (Sister Therese) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Long, pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; 
the open flower is rich Daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet- 
brier fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid cutting stems. You 
can always recognize this Rose from its habit of forming sturdy, 3-foot, 
upright canes, which are topped by a “‘lighted’” candelabra of five or 
more burning yellow blooms. 

Sterling (U.S. Plant Patent No. 21) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent flaming pink flower of superb form in bud as well as 
open. The base of the bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as well as 
clarity of color seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows strongly 
and blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. A sterling 
novelty. Winner of the Hubbard medal. 
Taffeta (U. S. Plant Patent No. 716) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
Like most multi-colored Hybrid Tea varieties, this one is somewhat vari- 
able according to the season, the soil, and the climate. The predomi- 
nant colors are orange, Begonia, and carmine, with considerable yellow 
at the base. The buds are of medium size, well formed and with fluted 
edges. The flowers are medium large in size and semi-double with 
about 21 petals. The plant grows upright, moderately bushy, and well 
clothed with large, dark green leaves that are mahogany-red color be- 
fore they reach maturity. A good garden Rose for cutting. 
Talisman Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Brilliant red and gold buds, opening to well shaped blooms of scarlet- 
orange and rich yellow. Constantly in bloom; the most vivid color yet 
produced in Roses. 
Tallyho (Patent Applied For) Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00 
Tallyho combines the finest characteristics found in the best Roses of 
today with a color which is entirely new to Roses. The coloring, varying 
somewhat with the weather and the planting location, on the inside of 
the petals is always a delightful shade of pink, such as Tyrian rose, 
China-rose, phlox-pink, or Neyron-rose, and the outside of the petals 
varies from crimson to cardinal-red. Although it is a bi-color, the con- 
trast is not great. The buds are ovoid in shape, opening to flowers with 
a spicy fragrance. The long-stemmed flowers last exceedingly well when 
cut because they have plenty of substance. It continually branches and 
throws out long, straight flower stems with a beautiful bud at the top. 
The plant well be one of the largest in the Rose garden. 
x 
The Doctor Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
This magnificent Howard &G Smith Rose is internationally recognized as 
one of the outstanding new Roses. We regard this Rose as one of the 
best; a variety which will be greatly sought after when better known.

their fully developed state. The color is an exquisite silvery pink, uni- 
form in color both in bud and open flower, with a fragrance so intense

Will Rogers (Plant Patent No. 256) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50

last petal falls. Its fragrance is so intense that a few will scent a room

green foliage retained throughout the season. The blooms are quite 
double, with a beautifully ruffled petal arrangement in the open flower 
Marvelously free in bloom qualities, bearing lavish quantities of flowers
