Poinsettia 
( g! ) The Most Beautiful Rose 
CACE of the Century 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 591.) This Rose is almost unbelievable. 
One marvel of it is the dawnlike range of colors through which tt 
passes, from opening yellow buds, with edges picoteed cerise, to the 
glorious 5-inch, alabaster blooms, each petal edged with pink that 
seems to deepen as the flower slowly opens. The shades of color 
vary, too, from flower to flower and through the changing seasons. 
Though the bloom is unusually large, long lasting and constantly 
fresh looking, its effect is always delicate and lovely. The individual 
petals are large and of great substance, gradually opening, a few at 
a time, around a high-pointed center, to a great, golden hearted, 
very double, fuily open flower. The plant is as superior as the bloom, 
and in the same large-scale way. The flowers are borne singly on 
heavy stems so strong aind straight. It needs no disbudding to pro- 
duce exhibition blooms which hold their form and freshness longer 
than other Hybrid Teas. The flowers last a long time and they are 
produced all season in endless succession, through various stages of 
opening and changing colors: canary-yellow, pale gold, cream, ivory 
and alabaster; edged cerise, rose or apple-blossom-pink. M. Meilland, 
the hybridizer, has given the world many beautiful Roses, yet of this 
he says: “This is a rare discovery and only takes place once in the 
career of an originator. Each $2.00 
Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We have no hesitancy in stating that this Rose is the most brilliant red 
Rose ever produced. ‘’Crimson Glory’’ is admittedly a magnificent piece 
of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this Rose is a 
descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the 
American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia-scarlet. The buds are 
ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower and 
fine as a cut flower. This Rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
American Rose Society, 1938.

Phyllis Gold 
A magnificent deep yellow flower of excellent form in bud as well as 
when fully open. The base of the bloom is somewhat deeper yellow giv- 
ing it a richness as well as clarity of color. It has good foliage and is a 
strong grower, blooms freely. A sterling variety; we consider it one of 
Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
the best yellow Roses. 
President Herbert Hoover Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Large flowers of a very charming combination of cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow, with broad, thick petals; very fragrant. The clean, 
handsome foliage is an added attraction. The brilliancy of the color is 
somewhat dimmed by hot weather, but the cool autumn nights develop 
tones and tints of almost unbelievable richness. i 
President Macia Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Very long bud, longer than any other Rose. Clear pink with slightly 
darker veining. When open, the face of the petals is pale flesh-pink 
warmed with a yellow flush toward the base. The reverse is the rich 
pink of the buds. Deliciously fragrant and extra fine long stems for 
cutting. 
Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An ideai bedding Rose that continues to produce its long flowers 
throughout the most unfavorable hot weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail. A brilliant carmine-pink with salmon-pink and 
yellow shadings at base of the petals. 
Red Radiance Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a ‘sport,’ possessing all 
the good traits of that valuable variety but differing in color which is 
_a bright cerise-red. 
Rubaiyat (Plant Patent Applied For) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A brilliant red with a profusion of long, graceful buds appearing in 
early June. As the buds open, releasing their wealth of old rose fra- 
grance, a glorious riot of deep, scintillating crimson is revealed. Out- 
side of the petals accented by a delicate, lighter shade.
