Stanek’s No. 1 Rose Bush 
RED SHADES 
CHRISTOPHER STONE. A thrilling scariet-crimson from 
bud until petals fall. Vigorous, upright, free flowering. 
Looks like it is here to stay. 214-3 ft. Semi-double. 
CRIMSON KING. Very double bloom borne singly. Very 
dark red somewhat similar to Crimson Glory. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. Gigantic flowers of velvety crim- 
son that get lighter in color instead of “‘bluing’’ with age. 
Ask any rose grower about this one. A standard of com- 
parison among red roses. 
GRACE MOORE. Very prolific bloomer of crimson red with 
a spicy fragrance. Some like it better than Crimson Glory. 
NIGGER BOY. Very double flowers of blackish maroon. 
Fragrant. 2-2 4%ft. 
NIGHT. Deep crimson, shaded with black and maroon. Likes 
cool weather. Bud long pointed, double. 2%-3 ft. 
POINSETTIA. You will be charmed with this beauty. Well 
formed buds and richly colored flowers of poinsettia- 
scarlet, which suggested the name. Large double, 24%-3 
ft. 
PICANINNY. Very fragrant maroon red flowers with yellow 
stamens that are really a contrast. If you like single roses 
of the Dainty Bess and White Wings type, you should have 
this red single rose in your garden. 
YELLOW SHADES 
GOLDEN DAWN. Bud sunflower-yellow, flushed old rose. 
Flower double and very well formed. 114-2 ft. One of the 
better yellow roses. 
JOANNA HILL. Orange-yellow buds opening to large, 
double flowers of cream and orange. Very popular for 
cutting. 214-3 ft. 
McGREDY’S YELLOW. Like all McGredy roses, the blooms 
are perfect. Bright buttercup yellow. 214-3 ft. 
JUST IN CASE YOU WERE CONFUSED— 
So many people visit our nurseries and salesyards and 
ask us this question, ““‘What do you mean by patented 
roses? Are they so much better than other roses?”’ In 
order to clear this up we might tell you the following 
so that you will understand. Ever since the early 
1930’s, we have had an act passed by Congress called 
the Plant Patent Act. This act was passed so that the 
men who spend a great deal of time and effort in 
hybridizing of plants, may reap some benefit. Just 
liks any other article, it is now possible for a person to 
receive a patent on a plant if it is distinctly something 
different. That is why a majority of the newer roses 
that are being introduced, carry a patent number and 
in most cases are more expensive. While some of these 
newer varieties might be better than the older ones, 
we still have Etoile de Hollande, Frau Karl Druschki, 
President Hoover and a host of others that are hard 
to beat. We don’t think any rose garden is complete 
without some of the older varieties and that is why you 
will find them listed in this catalog and every other 
garden catalog. We are always glad to help you with 
your rose selections and will give you our honest 
opinion on them. Just drop us a card and we will be 
glad to answer you.
