White Wings. H. T. ARS 77%—Av. Ht. 31”. A Krebs creation—offi- 
cially rated Hybrid Tea, but in type and garden usage, think belongs with the 
Floribundas. First enthusiastically admired in the garden of rose-hybridists, 
Carl and Rowena Duehrsen, Montebello, to which we are frequent visitors. 
When they say a rose 1s good, it’s GOOD! Hailed as the white counterpart of 
the lovely and favorite pink Dainty Bess, but to us, appears a more profuse and 
constant bloomer. 
Mrs. A. B. Walters, Del Paso Heights, Cal., has a rare compliment for White 
Wings... ‘a blossom of such airy loveliness, the observer holds his breath for fear it will 
be startled into flight.” 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
World’s Fair. Floribunda (Minna Kordes). Pat. 362. ARS 82%. About 3’ 
average height. Alas this year we cannot ‘immediately page Dr. Gage,’’ but 
we again will quote his words, as he looked over his highly polished and metic- 
ulously selected 170 rose varieties,—*' Mister, if I had to get along without all those 
roses save one, do you know the one I'd keep? . . . World's Fair!’ Wise in roses, as in 
most things, Dr. Gage’s judgment needs no further endorsement from us. 
3 for 3.85 each 1.50 
Yellow Pinocchio. Par. 992. ARS 61%, Av. Ht. 26”. As indicated by 
the ARS national rating this member of the Pinocchio family has failed to gain 
the universal approval of the others,—some reports are most enthusiastic, others 
equally condemning. We like the curling, smartly shaped buds and the intense 
color as they open. For best garden performance, a coolish climate and at least 
part shade. If you ‘‘live hot’’ give the buds indoor ‘“‘shade’’ in a flower vase and 
you ll be happy with Yellow Pinocchio. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50

NOTE—W hile the cost of growing polyanthas and floribundas is as great as any other 
rose variety, we are always willing to share the economies of handling large orders, and 
invite price correspondence with any who contemplate extensive planting. 
The year's at the spring, 
And day's at the morn; 
Morning's at seven 
The hillside’ s dew-pearled; 
The lark-s on the wing 
The snail's on the thorn; 
God's in his heaven 
All's right with the world.
