Alezane (Pahissa, 1934) Plant Patent No. 116. Large urn-shaped bud of reddish brown—the open flower is cupped, the color being sorrel, passing to rich apricot, reverse of petals being sorrel, stripped with yellow veins. The petals have great substance and are unaffected by hot or wet weather.  The foliage is good, the plant is vigorous, upright and unusually beautiful buds and flowers are carried on fine stems for cutting. It starts blooming very early and keeps it up right on through the season. You'll like this Rose. Each $1.25. Doz. $12.50.

Austrian Copper (Austrian Brier) This is not a Rose to be planted in your Rose garden, but to be given a place among your shrubs or used as a specimen plant— for it makes a shrub 4 to 6 feet high and as much across. Although it blooms but once in a season, it is much desired because it is positively the most vivid combination of colors in existence—brilliant copper-scarlet on the inside of the petals and deep orange- yellow on the reverse. Do not prune it—just leave it alone for best results.

Catalonia A new color in Roses. The buds are a deep shade of rich carmine stained orange. The 50 petaled flower is of velvety orange-scarlet. This may not describe the colors exactly, but it is the most vivid color we have ever seen in a Hybrid Tea Rose. The plant is thrifty and healthy and produces the wonderful flowers on stems of good length. The growth is spreading. Heavy grade 75c each, Medium grade 50c each.

p3.  "Something Entirely New — CHIQUITA (LITTLE GIRL) — the Baby Rose You Have Always Wanted •
CHIQUITA. (Little Girl) Miniature. [Moore, 1937.] (All rights reserved.) Something different in baby Roses—a Rose that flower lovers have wanted for years. One florist, when shown this Rose, exclaimed, "Florists have waited twenty years for that Rose!" In general the type is climbing Cecile Brunner but the form is better and the buds are somewhat smaller. But such a combination of colors! The outside of the petals are deep orange-yellow at the base, passing to orange-copper-pink on the outer edge. The open flower is an entrancing' combination of coppery-orange and salmon-pink with yellow at the base. And such fragrance!—it compares favorably with expensive imported perfumes— dainty, yet intense and penetrating. It is perfect material for corsages—it holds up marvelously well, the colors and fragrance intensifying with age. The plant is of medium climbing habit, the foliage is good and it produces the exquisite little flowers in clusters right through the season from spring to fall. What more could we ask of a Rose. To grow it and know it is to love and cherish it as you do no other Rose. $1.00 each".

p15.  Note.   'Sierra Snowstorm'  is an important step in a line of breeding that has given us some new baby Roses that will, without doubt, turn the eyes of the Rose world toward California. These lovely little miniatures, which combine the shades of yellow, orange, copper and pink, will soon be available in both bush and climbing form, the first of these, a climber of Cecile Brunner type, is being released this season under the name of "Chiquita" (Little Girl).  This exquisite little miniature is described on page 3 of this catalog.

Condesa de Sastago  This unusual Rose has won certificates and medals in all the important American and European shows since its introduction in 1932.
