Fall Rose Show 
Christopher Stone. The huge tight petals 
form a lovely velvety red bud that opens 
slowly into a perfect double rose. The flow-

excellent rose for warm climates as it has lots 
of heavy leathery foliage. Delightful spicy 
fragrance. Each, $1.35. 
Kea Chrysler Imperial. All-America se- 
lection for 1953. We believe this to 
be the finest red introduction in many 
years. Big, waxy, dark red petals of iri- 
descent sheen form a long tapering bud 
of intriguing form. The big, long stemmed 
flowers, at any stage of opening are full, 
symmetrical, charming in every respect 
and long lasting. Spicy fragrance, too.

Dainty Bess. A charming single rose of 
satiny pink with daintily ruffled petals and 
bright crimson stamens. You should never 
lack for long slender buds to cut if you plant 
this variety as it blooms prolifically. Growth 
strong and erect. Each, $1.35. 
Descanso Pillar. It is our feeling we 
need more roses of this typ2, plants that 
grow to 7 or 8 feet, and not too spread- 
ing, that may be used on small trellis, pil- 
lar, fence or wall. As the plant is suffi- 
ciently sturdy to support itself it may also 
be used in the back of the rose garden. 
Big, high-centered bloom, deep rose pink 
in color, and of lasting quality. Long stems 
and plenty of dark mildew resistant fo- 
liage. Blooms continuously and heavily.
