,: (Award All-America Rose Selections, 1940.) We regard this sensational 
novelty as outstanding among the numerous varieties we have con- 
tributed to the Rose world through our efforts in plant breeding. The 
color is a glorious ruddy orange toned with saffron-yellow, with the 
exterior of the broad petals overlaid with saturn-rose—a dual tone effect 
of indescribable richness and beauty. Buds long and pointed; flowers of 
enormous size, reaching a diameter of five to six inches. Growth vigor- 
ous, with healthy, glossy green foliage. 
California Centennial (Plant Patent Rights Reserved) 
Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
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 cutting. The long, spiral crimson buds are beautifully 
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 , Pio 
CALIFORNIA CENTENNIAL gives a wealth of beautiful Roses throughout Edith Willkie 
; the entire season. (See page 91)
