TAFFETA—''Can Be Very, Very Goop”’ 
The Doctor. H. T. ARS 79%. Very large, double, soft clear pink, of 
exhibition form, intensely, delightfully fragrant. Probably no rose in this cata- 
log has drawn more enthusiastic praise. Brobdingnagian in size (or plain colos- 
sal if you prefer), fully double, rated second only to Peace, in the “‘Large Speci- 
men Blooms”’ contest of the English National Rose Society, last year,—and 
among their top ratings in all classes. 
From Mrs. A. D. Oligny, Virginia—"' ‘The California growing way’ did something 
for this rose . . . your plant has bloomed continuously from April to November. I cut 21 
roses on one day, leaving 13 buds which did not show color. Members of the local rose society 
called this arose story’ instead of a ‘fish story, but a neighbor verified the tale.”’ 
We are once again indebted to Mrs. C. M. K., California—"'Why did they have 
to name this utterly enchanting thing ‘The Doctor’? To myself I've been calling it ‘Summer- 
time’ because it makes me feel just as the Porgy (7 Bess song does, and because its perfection 
of beauty exemplifies the rarest days of summer . . . you should see how lovely the great 
heart-shaped things look on a Chippendale table—it seems as tho eighteenth century mahog- 
any had been waiting for them all these years. Perhaps, after all, ‘The Doctor’ is a good 
name for it...I don’t know any other psychiatrist that is yours for $1.50.”

White Gold. Climber. ARS 76%. Another Brownell climber, with all 
the vigor, handsome and glossy foliage, inherited from the great parent, Glenn 
Dale. Blooms abundantly in summer,—long pointed buds, open to a heavy, very 
double, white flower with yellow centers, and distinctive out-curving petals. 
We like the Brownell climbers. 1.75.
