FERDINAND PICHARD—One of our ‘Favorite Six.” 
EMPRESS JOSEPHINE. (Gallica.) 4 feet. 
A serene and glowing member of the ‘’mad Gallica’’ family. The well- 
formed 4-5 inch blooms are silvery-pink with a high pointed center of 
rose-pink—each great, curled petal veined with a deeper tone. Flowers 
over a long spring period only, then devotes its energies to growing lusty 
canes for the next great blooming. 220 
EVEREST. =H. Perpetual. «(1927.)**5"="6 feet: 
A rose of noble proportions, so very large and full, it must have the full 
sun to open at its handsome best. Given a place it likes, the great lemon- 
white blooms on long stems keep coming throughout the season .. . should 
feed and water heavily. This is a true aristocrat of rosedom! Could be 
“best in the show.” 3 for 4.50 ‘eacheiaeas 
FERDINAND PICHARD. H. Perpetual. (1921.) 5 - 6 feet. 
Gives the “mad Gallicas” pretty strong competition for top honors among 
striped reses. Beautiful big plants with pleasing lettuce-green foliage— 
produce abundantly and throughout the season, fragrant, crisp-looking 
double blooms striped bright red and white. Responds in a big way to 
“pegging.” Ferdinand is included by Hon. Secretary and the catalog- 
writer, in their limited list of favorite old roses. Want to join us?
