CHESTNUT ROSE—*‘A Trury REMARKABLE RosE’’ 
Breeze Hill. L. C. (1926.) A very healthy, vigorous and happy climber 
producing large clusters of 3”, many petalled blossoms, in pale pink and ap 
tones over a long spring season. Named for the late Dr. McFarland’s garden in 
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Brings to mind pleasant memories of my visit in 1949 
with Ray Allen, Secretary A. R. S. and good friend, Neville Miller. There the 
climbers are in full spring glory—aided and abetted by Margaret Snyder, who 
knows her roses. See this lovely rose garden some fine spring day and be well 
rewarded, however long the journey. 1.50 
Bridesmaid. Tea. (1893.) Well-formed buds open to large, globular 
blooms of clear, soft pink, with tea fragrance. Very vigorous and generous 
throughout the season. One of the most famous tea roses. 1.50 
Cardinal de Richelieu. Gallica. (1840.) (duh Reesh-lyew.) Fine, large 
bushy shrub. Our original catalogue description was unfair to his grace, as he 
is no ‘‘blue rose’’ but comes out spring-dressed in voluminous robes of rich dark 
violet and maroon. A rose garden without the famous Cardinal lacks that cer- 
tain eminence, which only he can give. 3 for 4.50 each Ie7e 
Cascadia. (1925.) Captain Thomas created this tall growing shrub, in a 
cross with one of his famous roses, Bloomfield Abundance. Produces in fine pani- 
cles of one inch white flowers, showing green stamens, and like all the Bloom- 
field family, is in constant bloom; particularly fine, dark, glossy foliage. One of 
the bright, sparkling notes in our little display garden which fronts the Lester 
cottage. 
Mid-June field notes,—** Mighty pretty,—blooming its heart out and lots of buds 
coming on.’ 1.50
