ETOILE DE HOLLANDE (Above) 
Considered by many authorities to be the best of the 
bright reds. The perfect buds open to somewhat loose 
flowers of rich velvety crimson, with true rose fragrance. 
A strong, healthy bush of medium height, blooming 
well all summer. Fine for cutting.

FIRST LOVE (Pont Pat. 921) 
Urn-shaped, long and slender, the rose to dawn-pink 
buds stand erect on good stems. The opening flowers are 
lovely, too, with each delicate pink petal gracefully 
pointed. The semi-double blooms of medium size have 
a light tea perfume. Vigorous and disease-resistant, 
the plant produces freely and repeatedly all season. 
FORTY-NINER (Plant Pat. 792) 
One of the brightest of the newer bicolor roses. The 
buds are delightfully formed, opening into well-shaped 
flowers of large size, mildly fragrant, with 25 to 40 firm 
petals. The outside of the petals is a rich chrome-yellow, 
sometimes overlaid with pink, changing to straw-yellow 
in the open bloom, while the inside of the petals is fire- 
wagon-red. Vigorous, 3 to 4-foot plant. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHHI (Below) 
A rose superb in every way except that it lacks fra- 
grance. Ideal hardy white, pure in color, perfect in 
form, strong growing and free flowering. Blooms in 
June and sometimes repeats in autumn. This is a very 
famous old rose that has been in the gardens of rose 
lovers for half a century. (Hybrid Perpetual.)
