Here we offer what we consider to be the very best of the newer introductions. Those — 
marked with the symbol Ka deserve a special word, for they have been winners in the All- 
America competition. This method of testing new Roses before they are offered to the public 
has been of great value to all concerned. Not only color but hardiness, disease resistance and 
many other important qualities are given full consideration.

a apricot with an iridescent sheen, reverse

do it justice. We feel one of its greatest 
attributes is the pleasing and satisfying fra- 
grance at all times. The bud and open bloom

carefully arranged. The plant itself is of very 
neat, compact growth with very dark green 
foliage. $3.00 each; 3 for $7.95.
