WILL ROGERS. Patent 256. ARS 66%. Medium. 
Two dark, rich-red roses, Hadley and Crimson Glory, contributed to make 
Will Rogers, in this writer's opinion, the best velvety, 'black-red”’ rose of 
today, old or modern. Yes, agreed—it burns in the full sun, and if you 
live treeless or shadeless, pass it by, it's not for you. 
I grew it under pepper trees in one hundred degree weather—handsome 
in Spring and Fall, and one of the most profuse roses in that hot garden 
of over 200 varieties. I remain, my dear Will Rogers, ever your loyal 
friend, the C.W. 150 
YELLOW CECILE BRUNNER CLIMBER. (Cli. Perle d’Or.) 15 - 20 feet. 
This is a lively and lusty climbing sport of the popular polyantha, Perle 
d'Or, a sweetheart rose, described herein. The color leans to the apricot 
shades—hence the term “yellow” is misleading—at least to those who 
visualize farm-churned butter or the canary’s wing. Recommended where 
it has room to grow bigger and more abundant with every season. Don't 
worry—you'll like those golden-apricot shades. 3 for 3.90 each 1.50 
YOURS TRULY. Patent 697. Tall. 
Sometimes I wonder if it is the merit of this excellelnt hot-weather pink, 
which intrigues me, or its final position in the alphabet. For, if you have 
never written a rose-catalog, be assured, by the time you reach the letter 
Y, you will be exhausted. S50 
Once at a recent American Rose Society convention, a 
breathless little lady rushed up and said—Oh Mr. Tillotson, 
I go to sleep every night reading your catalog!??!” 
So, gentle reader, forgive me if you are “sleepy,” or bored 
or annoyed. The tired catalog-writer has emptied his ‘sack 
of adjectives” at your feet. 
THE C.W. IN FULL "REGALIA.”
