- DUCHESS of PENARANDA $125 
Here is an appealing color. The buds are brilliant orange, 
opening to coppery apricot. However, this color does 
change at different times of the year and as the flower 
ages. The plant is a strong grower with plenty of glossy, 
light green foliage, and an abundance of fragrant blooms. 
ECLIPSE i575 
This is unquestionably one of the best all purpose yellow 
roses. The endless bounty of streamlined buds of rich 
gold enhanced by ornamental sepals are a new mark in 
grace and beauty. These elegant, tapering buds borne on 
long, straight stems are especially fine for cutting. The 
seemingly disease-resistant plants with rich, heavy foliage 
have an upright habit.

maroon red that seldom blues. Very fragrant and excel- 
lent as a cut flower. Growth sometimes rather slow the

An excellent large flowered white hybrid perpetual of 
45-50 petals. Foliage is a soft green, clean, and semi-

belt along the coast.

grance. The ovoid buds are a rich, deep scarlet and grace-

ance which adds to the beauty. This earliest of bloomers
