San Fernando (U. S. Plant Patent No. 785) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The introduction of this grand Rose is an important milestone in the 
production of better red Roses. Competent judges who have seen the 
elegant red Rose in bloom, rank it High among the best of its color. 
The bright vermilion buds are long and pointed, opening into fully double 
flowers of vermilion-scarlet. In addition to the elegant form and bril- 
liant color, SAN FERNANDO has another outstanding quality—intense 
and lasting fragrance. The vigorous growth, fine foliage, brilliant color 
and pointed form are sufficient qualities to recommend any Rose, but 
when you add the spicy old rose fragrance to these qualities, it can 
be truthfully said that San Fernando, the new red Rose, will be among 
the leading varieties for a long time to come. 
Santa Anita (Plant Patent No. 539) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Santa Anita is an outstanding Rose. The perfectly formed, long, pointed 
buds unfold into beautifully shaped flowers of pure peach-blossom-pink. 
No matter how hot or how brilliant the sun may be, the color of Santa 
Anita remains pure. There is no bleaching or discoloration from bud to 
faded flower. The color is ‘’sunfast.’’ Santa Anita is the first Rose to 
bloom and it flowers bountifully from beginning to the end of the sea- 
son. The plants are rugged and not too tall. A lovely pink variety 
which, because of its merits, belongs among the best of the pink Roses. 
Shangri-la (Patented) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The long, pointed buds of Shangri-la are perfect, and upon opening show 
a rare combination of tints and shades; blush, salmon and rose delicately 
blended yet clear and sparkling like dawn itself. The bushes are vig- 
orous with ample dark rich green foliage as well as fine stems for cut- 
ting. It is our firm belief that the color and freshness of Shangri-la will 
brighten your Rose horizon for many a year. 
Show Girl (Plant Patent No. 646) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
“The Rose with Magnificent Buds.” If you want to enjoy the most 
beautiful, the most perfect, and the longest deep pink Rose buds you can 
imagine, be sure to plant this variety. The sensational buds are deep 
pink, almost carmine in the spring, opening to a softer tone but always 
deep pink. We think it is one of the finest pink Roses of all for cutting 
because of the magnificence of the buds and the lasting quality of the 
flower with its big heavy textured petals. Tall, rather slender, with big 
heavy canes and plenty of lovely flowers borne on long sturdy stems. 
Show Girl has never been given full credit for its fine performance, but 
it is steadily growing in popularity. 
Sleigh Bells (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
The large, ovoid buds are borne singly on exceedingly long stems, and 
are produced so freely that you can gather quantities for the table. The 
flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, with 40 or more petals 
of heavy substance, and are lovely in all stages. A trace of primrose at 
the base of the petals adds life to the flower. Unusual for white Roses, 
the stems are clothed with thick, leathery, glossy foliage that is ex- 
ceptionally disease resistant. Best of all, this white Rose is really fra- 
grant. Sleigh Bells is the better white Rose you have been looking for. 
Soeur Therese (Sister Therese) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Long, pointed buds are chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; 
the open flower is rich Daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. Sweet- 
brier fragrance. The blooms come freely on splendid cutting stems. You 
can always recognize this Rose from its habit of forming sturdy, 3-foot, 
upright canes, which are topped by a “‘lighted’’ candelabra of five er 
more burning yellow blooms. 
Sterling (U.S. Plant Patent No. 21) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
' A magnificent flaming pink flower of superb form in bud as well as 
| open. The base of the bloom is yellow, giving it a richness as well as 
clarity of color seldom observed. It has excellent foliage, grows strongly 
and blooms very freely in summer as well as in autumn. A sterling 
novelty. Winner of the Hubbard medal. 
Taffeta (U.S. Plant Patent No. 716) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
Like most multi-colored Hybrid Tea varieties, this one is somewhat vari- 
able according to the season, the soil, and the climate. The predomi- 
nant colors are orange, begonia, and carmine, with considerable yellow 
at the base. The buds are of medium size, well formed and with fluted 
edges. The flowers are medium large in size and semi-double with 
about 21 petals. The plant grows upright, moderately bushy, and well 
clothed with large, dark green leaves that are mahogany-red color be- 
fore they reach maturity. A good garden Rose for cutting.

Talisman Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50

orange and rich yellow. Constantly in bloom; the most vivid coior yet 
produced in Roses. 
Tallyho (Patent Applied For) Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 
Tallyno combines the finest characteristics found in the best Roses of 
today with a color which is entirely new to Roses. The coloring, varying 
somewhat with the weather and the planting location, on the inside of 
the petals is always a delightful shade of pink, such as Tyrian rose, 
China-rose, phlox-pink, or Neyron-rose, and the outside of the petals 
varies from crimson to cardinal-red. Although it is a bi-color, the con- 
trast is not great. The buds are ovoid in shape, opening to flowers with 
a spicy fragrance. The long-stemmed flowers last exceedingly well when 
cut because they have plenty of substance. It continually branches and 
throws out long, straight flower stems with a beautiful bud at the top. 
The plant will be one of the largest in the Rose garden. 
The Doctor Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
We regard this Rose as one of the best. The buds are long and pointed, 
expand to a simply enormous bloom in their fully developed state. The 
color is an exquisite silvery pink, uniform in color both in bud and open 
flower, with a fragrance so intense that it can be detected many yards 
away. 
Will Rogers (Plant Patent No. 256) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The color is black velvety crimson-maroon, which holds its color till the 
last petal falls. Its fragrance is so intense that a few will scent a room 
with “Attar of Roses’ fragrance. Strong and vigorous grower with dark 
green foliage retained throughout the season. The blooms are quite 
double, with a beautifully ruffled petal arrangement in the open flower. 
Marvelously free in bloom qualities, bearing lavish quantities of flowers 
from April to the advent of following winter frosts. The Rose, cut in 
early morning and placed in water, will keep in fine condition for five 
or six days, and during this period dispels its most delightful fragrance.
