These Are Four of Our 
Finest Roses 
Lavender Queen—(Frank C. Raffel 1952—Plant Pat. Applied for) A rose as new as To- 
morrow, with a touch of yesteryear’s ‘‘lavender and old lace.’’ You will like the dainty, 
perfectly shaped buds of delicate lavender hues, which open into enchantingly beau- 
tiful blooms of rich lavender coloring, sometimes touched with light burgundy shad- 
ings on underside of outer petals. A rose that is unusual and delightful. Large growing 
plants with lots of good, clean foliage. 
No. 1 grade $2.00 
Banner—(Frank C. Raffel 1951—Plant Pat. Applied for) A most unusual rose with lovely, 
well-shaped buds of bright red with light pink stripes, and deeper red veins running 
through the petals producing a striking effect. The gorgeous blooms are in varying 
shades of lighter red with almost white stripes, and often measure 6/2 inches across. 
A sport of the famous Charlotte Armstrong, a vigorous grower with long, heavy stems. 
No. 1 grade $2.00 
Stockton Beauty—(Frank C. Raffel 1948) Long, perfect buds of a deep glowing pink, 
shading into salmon pink. As the bud opens, the edges of the petals lighten to a 
very light, clear pink producing a lovely ethereal effect. This rose is a sport of our 
Banner rose, and is a vigorous grower with heavy foliage. 
No. 1 grade............... $1.50 
California’s Favorite—(Frank C. Raffel 1949) Its beautifully shaped buds of salmon 
pink open into large flowers of clear, soft pink shade, which lighten delicately at 
the edge of the petals. This is a sport of our fine Stockton Beauty, and is a good, 
upright grower producing many blooms with long stems. 
No. 1 grade............... $1.50
