SCHOENER’'S NUTKANA. H. Nutkana. (1930.) 6 - 8 feet: 
A vigorous and profuse shrub rose which has grown in our affections. The 
long, arching canes are covered with fragrant, 4 inch, single rose-pink 
blooms, which depart gracefully. 
Planted this spring on the country road above my cabin, I look up and 
see it as I write—in full and colorful bloom. L75 
SEVEN SISTERS. (R. Multiflora platyphylla.) (Introduced 1817.) 6 - 10 
feet. If you are an ardent hybrid tea enthusiast, waste no time here... 
for this is no rose-show beauty. Bears in spring, large trusses of 1¥2 inch 
double but rather fluttery flowers, ranging from near white through lilac, 
rose and dark carmine tones... an ancient fore-runner of ‘Gene Boerner’s 
Masquerade,” perhaps... If you have a “sister complex”, yes... if 
an only child, no! 2.00 
SILVER MOON. (1910.) 15-20 feet. 
So many have asked for this beautiful and unusual climber, we made it 
a happy addition to our list. ‘Big, saucer-shaped, moon-white flowers,” 
show amber stamens, and come in great mass clusters, over a long 
spring season. Needs room and its handsome, glossy foliage is decorat- 
ive in itself. Nationally rated 79% by the A. R. S.—away up for a climber. 
“I wonder that you didn’t give this lovely climber a bigger hand. You would 
not pass it by so lightly, could you see mine, silhouetted against the stone wall. The 
great white blossoms stand out in bold relief, appearing both exotic and chaste 
among the shining foliage—and in the soft moonlight ... ah-h-h.”—Mrs. Mildred 
Couden, Indianapolis. In fairness to Mrs. Couden, the ‘‘ah-h-h” is ours.

SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON. Bush. Bourbon. (1843.) 4-5 feet. 
(Mal-may-zon.) ... I find it difficult to select the right words, for this 
is not just another old-fashioned rose, or can you describe its many subtle 
qualities with the usual catalog superlatives. Factually it is very hardy 
.. no freeze-back even in coldest Pennsylvania, a moderate grower, but 
a profuse all-season bloomer. Flower is large, many-petalled—a pearly 
soft flesh-pink, with slightly deeper centers. An old-world rose which 
speaks of history, romance and nineteenth century ‘Paris in Spring.” 
Of the many comments received, I select one from Ralph Dasher, Flor- 
ence, Alabama—"T his is the first rose I remember, since both the bush and climb- 
ing form were in the garden of my Georgia birthplace, and still are, altho I cannot 
remember their ever getting fed, watered or sprayed, or much more than cursory 
attention.” ' 
Rated among their ‘favorite six old-type roses’’ by five prominent rosar- 
ians who answered. my questionnaire. 3 for 5.00 each 2.00 
SOUV. DE LA MALMAISON. Cli. Bourbon. (1843.) 10-20 feet as 
desired. Blooms en masse, de haut en bas (Hennessey please note), 
spring only, identical with the bush except the flowers may be somewhat 
smaller and does not repeat. One of the loveliest and most fragrant of 
all old-fashioned climbing roses. 
“So permeated with perfume were these flowers, that of the 109 rose varieties 
which bloomed this first season, we remember it as one of the four which furnished 
the most delightful fragrance.”—Lila McCombs, California. 2.00
