Safrano. Tea. (1839.) Again we quote the famous English authority, 
Wm. Paul,—‘‘Flowers saffron to apricot in the bud, changing to pale buff,—large and 
double,—cupped. A pretty and hardy variety, worthy of a place in every collection.” A 
famous, heavy-blooming old Tea rose which many will remember in “‘Grand- 
mother’s garden.” 1.50 
Sanguinaire. H. Rugosa. (1933.) Stalwart, erect shrub to 6 feet, with 
glossy foliage. Produces recurrently, a profuse crop of brilliant, oxblood-red, 
semi-double blooms, with pronounced golden stamens . . . admirable for hedge 
and ornamental planting. 1.50 
Sarah Van‘Fleet. H. Rugosa. (1926.) From Hilling Nurseries, England, 
—"'Remarkable hybrid flowering from June to October. Erect, bushy growth, glossy leaves. 
Long buds opening to semi-double flowers of clear light pink. Very fragrant. Of unusual 
quality. Grows 6-7 ft.’’ Included in the vote of all three of the L. R. G. staff among 
their top favorites. 1.50 
Schoener’s Nutkana. H. Nutkana. (1930.) A vigorous and profuse 
shrub rose which has grown rapidly in our affections and made a strong impres- 
sion when viewed in eastern gardens. The long, arching canes are covered with 
fragrant, 4 inch, single rose-pink blooms, which depart gracefully . . . has much 
distinction and charm. Recommended to admirers of single roses. 1.50 
Silver Moon. (1910.) So many have asked for this beautiful and unusual 
climber, we made it a happy addition to our list. ‘“Big, saucer-shaped, moon- 
white flowers,’ show amber stamens, and come in great mass Clusters, over a 
long spring season. Needs room and its handsome, glossy foliage is decorative 
in itself. Nationally rated 79% by the A. R. S.—away up for a climber. 
“I wonder that you didn’t give this lovely climber a bigger hand. You would not pass 
it by so lightly, could you see mine, silhouetted against the stone wall. The great white 
blossoms stand out in bold relief, appearing both exotic and chaste among the shining foli- 
age—and in the soft moonlight . . . ah-h-h.’’—Mrs. Mildred Couden, Indianapolis. 
In fairness to Mrs. Couden, the ‘‘ah-h-h”’ is ours. 1.50 
Seven Sisters. (R. Multiflora platyphylla.) Introduced 1817. Have had 
so many inquiries for this variety we decided to grow it in self-defense. Reaches 
climbing proportions in moderate climates . . . bears large trusses of 114” double 
flowers, in shades ranging near white through the lilac, rose and dark carmine 
tones. From this unique habit, it gets its name, “‘seven colors,’’ all blooming at 
the same time. And all for the price of one rose too! 1.50 
Souv. de la Malmaison Bush. Bourbon. (1843.) (Mal-may-zon.) At 
last we have enough of this exquisite old rose, in the bush, to give it the catalog 
space so well deserved. Identical with the climber, except the bush produces all 
season. To me it is the jewel-like white Mme. Hardy repeated in soft buff-pink. 
Received top place from two of our staff, in a vote on best varieties—the third 
member (Hon. Secretary) could easily be won over. Let no true old-rose lover be 
without this charming rose in either bush or climbing form. Lie 
ow 
Why are there trees I never walk under but 
large and melodious thoughts descend upon me? 
I think they hang there winter and summer on 
those trees and always drop fruit as I pass.
