CHRISTOPHER STONE—'‘Nearty THe Perrecr Rose”’ 
Col. Campbell Watson. H. T. Rather low-growing spreading Baa 
producing abundantly, double, high-centered and very fragrant blooms in sal-- 
mon-pink on good cutting stems. Not found in many catalogs, yet the Colonel 
has an air of quality and distinction too good for early retirement. 1.50 
Colette Clement. H. Tea. Famous for its unusual coloring. Authority 
Edna Betts Ketchem, Pasadena, calls it ‘‘coral-red, splashed with gold.’’ The 
3-4 inch graceful flowers are borne profusely on long stems,—sometimes 8, some- 
times 12 petals—grows to about 4 feet—and 1s happy in any climate. Lp 
Contrast. To those of you, who are tiring a bit with your all reds, yellows, 
pinks and whites, this interesting and striking rose will strongly appeal. It is 
very vigorous to 4 feet, a steady bloomer, and produces some rare, double flowers, 
described, ‘‘China pink and bronze, reverse white and bronze.’ We included Con- 
trast in our selection of 25 outstanding roses after inspection of some 500 display 
varieties. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
Crimson Emblem. H. Tea. (1916.) In characteristics more H. Perpetual 
than Tea. A big and husky six-footer; the blooms are large, cupped, with a ten- 
dency to close at night—luminous amaranth-red, truly ravishing fragrance. Have 
admired this red rose from first sight, and said admiration “‘lingers on.”’ 
Endures more ‘‘sniffs’’ from visitors than any other rose in the display garden.
