RED ROSES 
RED RADIANCE. The most widely planted 
everblooming rose because it is so easy 
to grow. Free blooming, healthy and 
hardy. Nice buds 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. Many regard this 
as the finest of all non-patented dark red 
roses. Lovely, dark-red buds. Good grow- 
er. A ted rose that will not disappoint you. 
CRIMSON GLORY. Formerly a patented, 
high-priced rose, but the patent has ex- 
pired. This is one of the two highest rated 
roses in the world, and well deserves all 
the high praise that has been bestowed 
upon it. Large, urn shaped buds are fol- 
lowed by well-formed flowers of striking 
vivid crimson. Don't fail to include Crim- 
son Glory in your rose list. 
ROUGE MALLERIN. A brilliant, velvet-red 
rose that we have considered: the best 
of the standard very dark reds. Buds 
open to a glowing scarlet. 
POINSETTIA. A red as bright as the 
Christmas flower for which it was named. 
Good buds and flowers on long stems on 
extra good bushes. Will stand compari- 
son with the best—you'll like Poinsettia.

MRS. E. P. THOM. An old favorite of deep, 
canary yellow. Medium-low growing. Well- 
known and well-loved among yellow roses.

good stems. One of the very best yellows 
that remains popular. Good foliage. Pat- 
ent has expired and now you can enjoy 
it at popular prices. 
ECLIPSE. Long, tight, streamlined buds 
on long cutting stems. One of the very 
best yellows that remains popular. Good 
foliage. Patent has expired and now you 
can enjoy it at popular prices.

rose. Hardy and satisfactory. Has stood 
the test of nearly a half century as a good 
white rose.

white as it is with some. Makes a strong- 
er bush than K.A.V. Large, double flowers. 
Vigorous grower. 
SNOWBIRD. Dainty, perfectly shaped buds. 
Fine for corsages. Charming fragrance, 
and thought one of the very best of all 
white roses.

ance. Free blooming, healthy and hardy, 
with good buds. 
MRS. CHAS. BELL. Also called “shell-pink 
Radiance.” Easy to grow and deservedly

blooming Paul’s Scarlet.” Same blazing 
red color of Paul's Scarlet, but blooms 
several times through the summer. Hardy 
and vigorous. One of the best for plant- 
ing on fence or trellis. 
MRS. PIERRE S. DuPONT Climber. The 
good qualities of the bush DuPont in a 
climber; free blooming, deep yellow that 
really makes a grand show. 
TALISMAN Climber. One of the finest ev- 
erblooming climbers, producing flowers 
throughout the summer similar to the bush 
Talisman. 
CL. MRS. E. P. THOM. Same as bush.

FLORADORA. Always an eye-catcher, a 
spectacular and gay floribunds that seem ~ 
always in bloom. An arresting shade of 
red that looks good both in the garden 
and under artificial light. 
GARNETT. Petite, garnet-red buds, excep- 
tionally long-lasting. Perfectly formed buds 
and open flower; lovely foliage. Sure to 
please.

been one of the most popular of all flori- 
bundas, and is becoming even more pop- 
ular because of its fine performance 
wherever grown, flowering continuously 
throughout the season, producing an abun- 
dance of rose-pink flowers that hold their 
color well.

PARAFFINED or WAXED ROSES 
Our experience with waxed rose bushes 
has been that when the hot Texas sun 
hits and melts the wax during the sum- 
mer, it causes the injury or death of 
thousands of rose bushes. Waxing is fine 
to keep the bushes from drying out dur- 
ing the winter, both at the nursery and 
after planting, but what is to be gained 
by this, if the melting wax kills them 
later? 
We may decide to wax the outer por- 
tions and tips of the canes—but if we do, 
it will be only that portion of the canes 
that should be pruned away just as 
growth starts in the spring. If you should 
get any bushes from us with the ends of 
the canes waxed, be sure to cut off this 
waxed portion long before hot weather— 
do it shortly after growth starts in the 
spring. We hope to have a new plan 
whereby we may avoid even this slight 
use of wax. 
PRUNING FOR PLANTING 
Dr. A. F. DeWerth, Prof. of Floriculture, 
Texas A.&M. College recommends prun- 
ing newly planted hybrid tea (nearly all 
of our bush roses are H. T. (to about 6 to 
12 inches (4 buds should be left on each 
of 4 or 5 stems). 
We usually cut canes to anywhere 
from 12 to 18 inches before shipping; so 
you'll need to prune them more, perhaps, 
at the proper time.
