FANNY BIAS-—FraGrance DELIGHTFUL 
Everest. H. Perpetual. (1927.) ‘‘Bigger than Colossal’ is this handsome, - 
many petalled lemon-white rose,—one of those great buds opened on my desk 
this summer, measuring 7” across. Loves the full, warm sun—and keeps on 
blooming. In the right environment unbeatable among the white roses. Master 
Hybrid Tea grower, Clyde Stocking of San Jose, viewing our Everest this Spring, 
came forth with a bit of heresy, ‘'The hybrid teas will have to go some to equal this 
rose. L275 
Fanny Bias. Gallica. (1819.) A fine, bushy, dark-green plant, produc- 
ing mostly in clusters of fat buds, opening to double 3” blooms of soft warm 
pink, aging slowly to lovely mauve tones. . . ‘‘fragrance such as our first parents 
breathed in Eden.”’ 
From ‘‘The Flower Grower,” June 1950—"' Among the roses in my grandmother's 
garden were several of that old fine Gallica, Fanny Bias... it was a favorite of the host 
of grandchildren who spent unforgettable summer days among the roses, thymes and other 
odoriferous things in that pleasant old garden, not so much for its soft pink, double flow- 
ers, lovely enough as I look back on it through the mist of years, but for its delightful fra- 
grance.”' 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
Felberg’s Rosa Druschki. The good frau married to Farbenkonigin 
(what’s in a name) produced a beautiful pale lilac-rose with all the excellent 
bloom and plant characteristics which have made Druschki famous for nearly 
fifty years. This is a sun rose. Charming! 
‘By all odds the most beautiful pink rose in my garden is Felberg’s R. Druschki which 
you sent me last year,—she is a big girl now and makes the most perfectly formed blossoms 
you ever saw.’’—Puitiep McC. ArMstrRonG, DaLTon, PENNSYLVANIA. 1.50 
iad he Grootendorst. H. Rugosa. (1918.) This and its companion the 
Pink Grootendorst, listed later, should be in every rose garden, where more va- 
riety than a mere bevy of hybrid tea beauties is desired. Plant is vigorous, disease 
proof, easily kept within bounds, and has the characteristic handsome rugose 
foliage. Blooms are in clusters, bright red in some locations, crimson in others, 
its unique feature being the serrated edges which almost exactly resemble a car- 
nation; in constant and profuse bloom. 1.50
