KATHLEEN MILLS—"The sheerness of a butterfly’s wing.” 
KATHLEEN MILLS. 3 - 4 feet. 
This is the catalog-writer’s favorite among all the single-type roses. How- 
ever, I.stand aside for the comments of the late Aulton B. Smith of 
Charlotte, N. C., repeated here, in special deference to his memory— 
“Makes a tall compact bush. When the buds burst into a large semi-double single- 
type bloom of soft and satiny pink with pastel ed gings, 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.”

LA JOLLA. Patent 1103. Upright grower. (Hoy-yuh.) 
The latest multicolor from Herb Swim—offspring of Charlotte Armstrong 
and Contrast—union of beauty and virtue. The 5 - 6 inch blooms come 
abundantly in our growing field, on an excellent, pest-proof plant. 
R. Harkness & Co., England has this to say. for La Jella—=@ 
charming flower in pastel shades of salmon, yellow and rose. This most elegant 
variety has grown and bloomed very well indeed with us, and its shapely and 
gracefully borne flowers should give much pleasure.” 3 for 7.50 each 3.00 
LISSY HORSTMANN. 2 - 3 feet. 
A Mathias Tantau (German) creation introduced by Conard-Pyle, with 
Hadley in its parentage. This rates among the most brilliant scarlet-crim- 
son roses we have ever seen—large, cupped, very double, heavily per- 
fumed, on long strong stems. Will make any and all the latest reds look to 
their laurels. If you don't like Lissy, “double your money back.” 
“Speaking of heat, I want to add a hearty ‘yea and amen’ to the astute Mr. T’s 
evaluation of Lissy Horstmann. While most of my roses, especially the reds, cooked 
to a crisp at 104 degrees, Lissy took the full all-day sun in stride with every petal 
smartly curled and completely unblemished.”—Hortense Wild.
