LAMARQUE. Noisette. (1830.) 15 - 20 feet. 
Rosamund Marriott Watson writing from London in 1905, tells the 
story far better than could we. “This first summer month that brings the rose has 
brought an unaccustomed wealth of bloom to that little known and half-forgotien 
masterpiece, my Lamarque, of whose possession I am, perhaps, not unjustly vain. 
The merit, however, of setting it where it still glorifies the worn stone coping of 
the ancient red brick wall belongs not to me, but to some beneficent Unknown, 
who planted roses some seventy years since. I would I might leave behind as sweet 
a monument. The flowers are of the purest white—the dense white of the water- 
lily, and their great moon-pale cups lie open wide, like marble blossoms carved in 
low relief, exhaling an exquisite odor. Think of the mingled virtues of lily and rose 
in one, and you may foreshadow some dim likeness of the Lamarque, should you not 
be so fortunate as to know it already.” After such word music as this, think 
I will buy one myself. 2.00 
LITTLE COMPTON CREEPER. Brownell. (1938.) 15 - 20 feet. 
Equally effective as a ground-cover or decorating a fence. Like all the 
Brownell creations, the foliage is dark and glossy, and complete hardi- 
ness has been the keynote of all their hybridization. Orange-red buds 
open to 3 inch single blooms of delicate rose-pink, with exquisite shad- 
ings. Profuse spring flowering. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
LOUIS PHILIPPE. China. (1834.) (Fee-leep.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Among our most bountiful roses; cannot remember seeing it ever without 
a crop of globular deep scarletred roses, nodding a cheery welcome. 
Memories of the deep South, Creole beauties, New Orleans in Spring— 
not for Yankee gardens in cold climates... for California and all warmer 
sections, yes! 1.50 
MAIDEN'’S BLUSH. Ho Albay <(1797.) 5 = 6ileet. 
The rose of Mrs. Browning's poem. Fully double, clear, lively but soft-pink, 
shading lighter to the edges. One of the special favorites of Dr. Griffith 
Buck, of Iowa State College, and has aroused the interest of master-chemist 
and rosarian, Neville Miller of Palmerton, Penn., who says—‘Has the 
intense fragrance of white hyacinths! An ideal background rose which does well 
in semi-shade.” 1.50

“How deeply with beauty is beauty overlaid! The ground covered with crystals, 
the crystals with mosses and lichens and low-spreading grasses and flowers .. . 
these with larger plants, leaf over leaf, with ever-changing color; the broad palm 
of the firs outspread over these; the azure dome over all like a bellflower, and star 
above star.” —JoHN Muir
