San Gabriel. P.A.F. We cannot improve on the originator’s description 
which follows—Long pointed buds of glowing salmon with a heavy overlay of 
tangerine orange and fire red. Distinct saffron yellow at the base of each petal. 
As the flower opens the petals reflex, showing all the beautiful coloring. Exception- 
ally free flowering and long lasting. Pleasing tea fragrance. 
Says Mrs. George Dieterly, Cincinnati, Ohio, “San Gabriel was a real delight— 
always with 4 to 6 blooms. Not even the catalog description had prepared me for 
the melody of colors in this rose.” Believe this is the first time in history a variety 
proved Jester than the originator’s description. 2.00 
San Luis Rey. P.A.F. Won our admiration this season by the persistence 
with which it maintained its clear deep canary-yellow—weather come what may. 
Well formed buds and lots of them, opening to a full, tea scented flower. Is a 
competitor for a leading place among the recent yellows. 2.00 
Special. We offer the MISSION SERIES, all three of these distinctively beau- 
tiful modern roses, San Fernando, San Gabriel and San Luis Rey. 5.00 
Satan. Patent 379. We turn immediately to our garden notes—“Old Nick 
should be flattered to have this handsome rose named for him. Has much the same 
rich, blackish-scarlet tones as World's Fair, but larger and better shaped, also shows 
very ornamental old-gold stamens. Petals are of good substance to hold fine form. 
Has that red-rose fragrance and the plant is GOOD! 1.50 
Saturnia. Patent 349. As you have discovered long since, we cannot resist 
any rose, whose rich and unusual coloring stands out from the crowded ranks of 
the hybrid teas. Saturnia is almost a bi-color—a luminous dark carmine, reverse 
pale coral-pink—the whole effect is warm and alluring. Foliage is really enormous, 
and the new growth is a glossy maroon, much like the newer Taffeta. If we'rave 
on any further we will sound like—well, a certain catalogue best unmentioned here.

Shades of Autumn. Patent 542. We, like you, no doubt, were first 
attracted to this rose, by the refreshing color illustration, which appears in most of 
the Brownell publicity and is a big step forward in rose picturization. This is a 
distinct bi-color, in orange copper and deep carmine—“one of the most beautiful 
and delightful color combination yet produced in Hybrid Teas,” says able authority 
Bobbink & Atkins. We are well pleased with plant habit and bloom performance. 
Still another eastern rose we recommend also for western gardens. 1.75 
Show Girl. Patent 646. Another offspring of the great parent Crimson Glory, 
bearing the famous W. E. Lammerts trademark. Says Fred Edmunds, Oregon, “One 
of the best deep-pink exhibition and garden roses for this section; bushy, well 
foliaged plant; plenty of long pointed, well formed buds,” and Mrs. Packard, Los 
Angeles adds the feminine touch—‘“‘The flower is stunning at night under lights.” 
Mrs. Carl A. Greiner, Marne, Michigan, wrote us last year—"You say (im the 
catalogue) ‘write us when our roses are blooming in your garden’—so I go out and 
look again at that SHOW GIRL which came to us from you last March, im zero 
weather. There she stands, with her relatives around her, and at this her third bloom- 
ing, she tops them all for size and unfading colors. Her dignity ts superb, yet she is 
not stiff, and is not dependent on night lights to hold her glamour. Why didn’t they 
name her ‘Country Girl?’ Certainly there’s no ‘one-night stand’ about her.” (Mrs. 
Greiner received those 5 roses, gratis, which we are happy to give for anything we 
print. ) 1.50
