KATHLEEN MILLS—"The Sheerness of a Butterfly’s Wing.” 
JEAN LAFITTE. Climber. (Zhon La-feet) 10 - 15 feet. 
A very hardy Horvath climber which attracted the catalog-writer’s special 
attention in Roy Shepherd's garden of many hundred varieties, in Medina, 
Ohio. Blooms abundantly in spring and early summer—large, double, 
cupped flowers of Willomere pink. 
“Jean Lafitte is growing 12 foot canes this year—superb!” Forrest T. Kaiser, 
Missouri. 
JUNO. Patent 895. ARS 66%. Low—open—bushy. 
This is a shapely, clear-pink rose of classic proportions. Might have been 
called the Venus de Milo, in “rhodamine-pink.” (Perhaps its time I called 
on a lady to finish this description..—"Juno is a magnificent thing! In all its 
voluptuous, seven inch, satiny pink perfection!” Would like to raid Hortense 
Wild's “sack of adjectives.” 8 for 6.00 each 2.25 
KATHLEEN MILLS. 3- 4 feet. 
This is the catalog-writer’s favorite among all the single-type roses. How- 
ever, I stand aside for Aulton B. Smith of Charlotte, North Carolina,— 
“Makes a tall compact bush. When the buds burst into a large semi-double single- 
type bloom of soft and satiny pink with pastel edgings, I am reminded of the sheer- 
ness of a butterfly’s wing, or a piece of delicate silken fabric. Her high centered 
bloom with a unique tier of rich red stamens blazes like a dainty and spidery jewel. 
Here is the most exquisitely beautiful bloom in our garden of 85 varieties.” 
The catalog-writer is using admirable restraint, not adding his own 
special rave to this rose! 8 for 5.25 each 2.00 
KING MIDAS. Climbing. Patent 586. ARS 67%. 10 - 15 feet. 
A large-flowered, semi-double climber which blooms profusely thru early 
summer, in clusters of golden yellow. Makes a beautiful pillar. 2.00 
LIPSTICK. Shrub. 5 - 6 feet. 
Blooms persistently all season—large clusters of semi-double, 2 inch 
flowers in “turkey red.” (Cosmetic departments please note). For a vivid 
and really startling color accent in the garden, apply Lipstick! 175
