California Grown Roses 
These roses are budded on Ragged Robin understock, which we believe to be 
best suited for southern growing conditions. All are No. 1 top-grade plants.

all, with long, slender, carmine buds and magnifi- 
cent open flowers of brilliant cerise. each 1.50 
CRIMSON GLORY: (Pat. 105) The beautiful, flaming 
urn-shaped buds open into magnificent vivid flow- 
ers of velvety crimson with black and maroon mark- 
ings. each 1.50

ing because of the beauty and perfection of the 
jaunty, tightly curled buds, and the graceful high 
centered open flower. each 2.00 
ECLIPSE: (Pat. 172) This rose is famous for its unique, 
streamlined buds of pale yellow, often more than | 
2 inches long. each 1.50 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE: This magnificent red rose is 
ranked among the best in its color class by every- 
one. It is the standard of comparison by which other 
red roses are judged. A heavy, delightful, old rose 
fragrance adds to its charm. each 1.50 
FORTY-NINER: 1949 AARS Winner. This is probably 
the most brilliant hued bi-colored rose ever pro- 
duced. The inside face of the petals is a vivid Orient 
Red, changing to Cherry Red with age. The outside 
of the petals is a rich Chrome Yellow, sometimes 
overlaid with pink. The yellow color is most evident 
in the bud, while the red color dominates the flower 
when fully open. each 2.00

ful pink buds, you will know what we mean.

PINOCCHIO: (Pat. 484) This rose blooms so exuber-

a wild rose, never fail to keep color and attract 
enthusiastic interest. each 1.50 
CLIMBING HIGH NOON: This new 1948 AARS Win- 
ner is a combination of intense, clear yellow buds

of blooming right on through the summer and fall.
