BLACK PRINCE—One of thes great pas of all time. 
BLACK PRINCE. Hybrid Perpetual. (1866.) 4 - 5 feet. 
A large, cupped, full-petalled rose of darkest crimson, shaded black; 
especially fine fragrance. Vigorous, tall-growing and regal . . . blooms 
profusely, particularly handsome in fall. Likes full sun for greatest per- 
fection. One of the great roses of all time! Honesty requires an admis- 
sion—Black Prince is not at its best under most California conditions. 
“More years ago than I care to admit, we children were permitted to pick as many 
roses as our greedy little hands could hold, in a little park, willed to our city by a 
lady whose great love had been beautiful roses. Among them was a tall, fragrant, 
velvety red which was our favorite. When I grew older we moved away—and as I 
saw no roses like it anywhere, began to suspect my memory had painted too eloquent 
a picture. Imagine my delight when my Black Prince bloomed this spring and 
turned out to be that very same rose—only twice as lovely.”—Mrs. Mildred 
Couden. Indianapolis, Indiana. 3 for 6.00 each 2.50 
BETTY BLAND. (Hybrid Blanda.) (1926.) To 6 feet. 
An interesting and ‘different’ plant of many contrasts. The blue-green 
foliage is a perfect foil for the small, well-formed, rosette-type blooms of 
blush and rose-pink which envelope the plant in spring. The foliage ripens 
and falls before frost, leaving only the pattern of the rich maroon canes.

The New Roses are for admiring, the old ones for loving.”
