GREY PEARL—’’The Lavender-grey Beauty!” 
GREY PEARL. Patent 680. ARS 38%. Medium. 
| Credit us please with courage and persistance, for only a stubborn enthu- 
_ siast would grow Grey Pearl in face of the lowest rating given any variety, 
_ by the members of the A.R.S. But if you will walk with the catalog-writer 
through the reds, yellows and pinks at the growing field, and suddenly 
come upon the pale, lavender-grey, and beautifully formed Grey Pearl, you 
will not pass it by without notice, for this rose cannot be ignored! Unquestion- 
| ably the most distinctive coloring to be found in any rose, old or modern. 
We guarantee our plants to be as vigorous and prolific as the average 
| of your hybrid teas—do not recommend it for very wet climates—do not 
| guarantee you will like it, but I quote two who do! 
| “If Grey Pearl was rated nothing minus, I'd still love it. I have one in a special set- 
| ting of its own where its gentle radiance is never dimmed by strong colors. In my 
language, its a jewel and I intend to have a ‘string of them. ” Marie Barnes, 
| Tacoma, Washington. 
| ©The Grey Pearl received from you has caused more comment than anything in 
| my garden, in spite of your warning that I was brave to try it. At one time, I 
| counted 26 buds colored from fog-grey to lavender, and no diseases whatever.” 
—Mrs. W. W. Clark, Hayward, California. 
Sir! I am still recommending Grey Pearl for your lady's black-draped 
_ shoulder. 3 for 7.25  each'2.75 
| GRANDE DUCHESSE CHARLOTTE. Patent 774. ARS 83%. Tall. 
| Continues to reign in the affections of thousands of rose-lovers, for its many 
| virtues of plant and bloom, and the indescribable tones of “chestnut, gera- 
| nium-red, rich claret, morocco red and dusky coral” with which intriguing 
| color terms, the catalog-writers have tried to portray her illusive shadings. 
Grows tall and regal. Truly the grand duchess among all the hybrid teas!
