blooms of great size, with 40 or more 
petals of heavy substance, and are 
lovely in all stages. A trace of prim- 
rose 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 
exceptionally disease resistant. Best 
of all, this white Rose is really fra-

Rose you have been looking for.

California Gentennial 
(Plant Patent Rights Reserved) 
_A new, intensely fragrant, glowing crimson 
Rose of the most remarkable substance we have 
ever encountered in Roses. California Centennial 
is a vigorous grower with 3-foot canes on which 
thorns are so few they are negligible. The flower 
shoots break away well down on the parent canes, 
affording strong stems 18 inches or more in 
length, which makes it a perfect variety for cut- 
ting. The long, spiral, crimson buds are beauti- 
fully formed, opening to a deep crimson-red which 
does not fade or turn blue. The texture of the 
petals as well as the color are two outstanding 
fine points. The flowers when fully open are the 
most brilliant crimson of any Rose in our test 
garden. Under close observation it has been noted 
that CALIFORNIA CENTENNIAL gives a wealth 
of beautiful Roses throughout the entire season.
