KATHLEEN MILLS—ExguisiT#! 
Kathleen Mills. H.T. This is the catalog-writer’s favorite among all 
the single-type roses. However, I stand aside for Aulton B. Smith of Charlotte, 
North Carolina,—"' Makes a tall compact bush. When the buds burst into a large semi- 
double single-type bloom of soft and satiny pink with pastel edgings, I am reminded of the 
sheerness of a butterfly's wing, or a piece of delicate silken fabric. Her high centered bloom 
with a unique tier of rich red stamens blazes like a dainty and Spidery jewel. Here is the 
most exquisitely beautiful bloom in our garden of 85 varieties. 1.50 
Lipstick. A shrub rose reaching 5-6 feet, blooming steadily in clusters 
mostly 7, semi-double, 2” flowers of turkey red—a vivid, startling color effect 
and very well named. We divert for a moment, thinking you may be amused by 
an incident, in which a youth of romantic age was assisting in the garden inven- 
tory of our display plants. He noted the accidental sequence, ‘‘Pink Princess, 
Enchantment, Lipstick and Boudoir,”’ then exclaimed—‘'Gee, roses sure do have 
pretty names!”’ 
Summer, 1951,—Referring to last year’s comments, sorry to report Mrs. Lester 
has removed in the display garden, the ‘‘accidental planting sequence, Pink Prin- 
cess, Enchantment, Lipstick and Boudoir’’—being a prim and proper person.

Los Angeles. Cli. H.T. Why this lovely climber has been allowed to 
fade out of most catalogs is a mystery, for there are few older or younger which 
excel it,—blooms consistently throughout the season,—very large, double flow- 
ers in tones of luminous coral and gold,—delightfully fragrant. A great favorite 
of Mrs. Lester. 1.50
