Christopher Stone 
Such a vivid color could not long go unnoticed in any garden. The glowing brilliant 
crimson-scarlet flowers, with deeper shadings, never have a trace of blue and do not 
fade in the hottest sun. Not all the buds are perfect in form, but they have a long- 
lasting substance and a delightfully spicy fragrance. Fully blown, this rose is as 
beautiful as any rose you will ever find. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
Dainty Bess 
Single roses are quaintly charming whether you see them in a garden or in a vase 
arrangement, and Dainty Bess is deservedly the most popular of them all. The large 
five-petaled flowers are a warm pink overlaid with a flush of suntan, punctuated 
with maroon stamens. The tall strong bush is an almost continuous source of 
Christopher Stone blooms which last a long time after they are cut. The flowers form in clusters of 
three or more. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 

Etoile de Hollande 
This magnificent red rose is ranked among the best in its color class. The 
medium-sized buds of velvety maroon open beautifully and cleanly to a mar- 
velous flower of glowing crimson with darker shadings. Each petal holds its aa 
brilliant color until it drops. A heavy, delightful old-rose fragrance adds to 
its charm. The bush is strong, free-branching, and healthy with the leaves 
large, green, and fresh looking. $1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Grande Duchesse Charlotte 
















Golden Rapture 
The list of yellow roses is growing and competition in this color class is 
keen, but Golden Rapture continues to rank among the best. You will know 
why when you plant it in your garden. Morning after morning you can cut 
some of the most lovely long-pointed buds of bright yellow that you have 
ever seen. You will never cease to admire the sheer perfection of form and 
the brilliance of color. The shiny foliaged plant grows to medium height 
and produces quantities of perfectly formed buds and flowers with a mild 
old-rose fragrance. $1.00 each; 3 or more, 85c each. 
Grande Duchesse Charlotte 
An All-America Award Winner in 1943, this rose is outstandin 
for its unique color and its intriguing perfume. The interesting 
AA\RS buds are a rich claret color (you may call it brick-red) which 
changes as the flower ages to a lovely Begonia Rose. The flowers 
are not always perfect in form, but they are always beautiful because of that 
rich color, never before seen in a rose. You'll be glad you have this rose 
in your garden when you see the big, strong, free-branching plant and the 
flowers, with their unusual color and rich fruit-like fragrance. Plant Pat. 
No. 774. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.
