WILL ROGERS. Patent 256. ARS 66%. Medium. 
Two dark, rich-red roses, Hadley and Crimson Glory, contributed to put 
Will Rogers, in this writer’s opinion, among the best velvety, ‘‘black-red” 
roses of today, old or modern. 
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 Redlands 
garden of over 200 varieties. 
I remain, my dear Will Rogers, ever your loyal friend, the C.W. 
(Supply limited until 1956) 2.00 
meuLOW 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. 1.50 
WOURS TRULY. Patent 697. Tall. 
Sometimes I wonder if it is the merit of this excellent 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. 1.50 
Once at a recent American Rose Society convention, a 
breathless little lady rushed up and said—"Obh Mr. Tillotson, 
I go fo 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.”
