ROSES ARE HERE NOW! GET THEM NOW— 
THEY WILL ALL BE GONE IN FEBRUARY 
So with no indecision whatever allow us to suggest 
fool-proof named varieties for gardens in this general 
area. (We will gladly suggest others for the San Fernando 
Valley or even the desert upon request, for regardless of 
where you live you can certainly grow well SOME Roses. ) 
All REDS mildew some in coastal regions, but we nomi- 
nate for the probable three best Etoile de Hollande, 
Christopher Stone and Nocturne. |n the near reds Char- 
lotte Armstrong is still in a class by itself, performing 
«~ admirably where any hybrid tea rose will grow at all. For PINKS we'll take 
S Sweet Sixteen, Pink Rosette (floribunda), and now we’re betting (our only 
= gamble) on the gorgeous new light salmon, Helen Traubel. In WHITES we 
«Still think Snowbird stands alone. YELLOW offers more choice, from Peace 
~= (a pastel with shell-pink edging) through Lowell Thomas and Mrs. E. P. 
2 Thom to deep San Luis Rey which we add for its wonderful perfume. Texas 
* Centennial and Mark Sullivan are certainly of the best MULTICOLORS, the 
.. former on the pink side, the latter, nearer orange and gaudy. If you live 
*~ where summer temperatures are low (Santa Monica and the Palisades), by 
*% all means plant Fred Edmunds (which is poor inland) for a glowing orange 
© to apricot and it will bloom every month in the year. We have Garnettes!
