penciling of light pink, and when the 
buds open you see a full double, high cen- 
tered, beautifully formed flower. Flowers on 
long stems, excellent for cutting. Each $2.75. 
Hedda Hopper. The delicate pink of the flow- 
ers in all stages of opening is unusual in 
itself, but together with such a sweet per- 
fume it is rare indeed. It is unbelievable 
that such delicate colored petals could be 
so sturdy. Each $2.00. 
Helen Traubel. The color varies with the 
weather—sometimes a light, sparkling pink, 
more often a luminous apricot. Its unusu- 
ally large and long buds are magnificent, 
and the half-open flower and the glorious 
fully opened blooms display the lovely color 
more lavishly. Plant patent applied for. 
Each $2.75.

crimson blooms are carried in graceful clus- 
ters to give a “florists’ spray’ effect. Ex-

together with the fine blooms pay high 
tribute to the grand old man of. baseball. 
The flowers are a dark, velvety crimson in 
graceful clusters which have aptly been 
called “florists’ sprays’” Roses. Many blooms 
with long stems and long lasting qualities 
are produced from spring through fall.
