Apricot Queen H. & S. 1940 (Patent Applied For) A lovely combination of colors is to be noted in this glorious new Rose. Orange and apricot at the base of the petals, merging to salmony-rose and phlox-pink in the fully developed bloom is descriptive as to color. The bud is long pointed. The fully developed flower shows a regular, well placed petal arrangement. A good strong grower, with handsome, leathery foliage which serves as a splendid foil to the perfectly formed buds and open bloom. In general character the Rose reminds one of Mrs. Sam McGredy, but with an intensified color combination.

A Superb Collection of Novelty Roses for the Season of 1927
Frank Reader. This is a 1927 novelty and one of the finest two-toned yellow roses that we have ever had the pleasure of sending out. Most people are acquainted with the old variety Sunburst. This new variety might be referred to as a glorified type, of the same color. In the 1926 Summer show of the Royal Horticultural Society of England, it was awarded the well deserved homor of a first class certificate. It has a large massive bud with a high pointed center which opens to a flower of very large size. The heart of it is golden apricot and shades lighter toward the exterior of the petals. Deliciously apple-scented. This rose will prove a splendid variety for cut flower purposes. It is one of the most profusely blooming roses of its color that we know of. The plants are of strong upright growth with splendid clean-cut foliage. A rose for everybody's garden. Price each $2.50.

Indian Summer H. & S. 1937 (Patent Applied For) The most sensational Climbing Rose of the decade.
Its color is unlike any other climber in existence. The name is suggestive — wonderful shades of copper, old rose, strawberry pink, burnished old gold, etc., are manifest in this rose in the progressive developing stages of the blooms. Buds of exquisite formation. Open flowers crinkled and ruffled. Foliage like leather, absolutely mildew-proof. In addition, a continuous bloomer and a rank grower. A Climbing Rose for the million. Indian Summer is one of the very few roses that make a satisfactory screen over an unsightly fence, or that can be used to mask an unpleasant vista. Its blooms are by far superior to most climbing roses regarded from a standpoint of value for cutting purposes. $1.50 each

Poinsettia H. & S. 1939 We have no hesitancy in stating that this rose is the most brilliant red rose ever produced. “Crimson Glory” is admittedly a magnificent piece of color, but the color is dull by comparison. The name of this rose is a descriptive one, and was suggested by Dr. J. Horace McFarland of the American Rose Society. It is close to a Poinsettia scarlet. The buds are ideal in form, long and pointed; fairly full petalage, a good grower, and fine as a cut flower. This rose was awarded a Certificate of Merit by American Rose Society, 1938. Letter from the Secretary: “The Trustees of the American Rose Society at their recent meeting awarded a Certificate of Merit to your rose “Poinsettia.” This appears to me to be a real rose which, because of its good growth and brilliant color, is going to go places. ” $1.00 each
