To Our Friends and Patrons
HIS, our Illustrated Price Catalogue for the season of 1914-1915, contains, with pies
descriptions and correct illustrations, the very best Fruits, Ornamental Trees an
Shrubs, Palms, Roses, etc., for planting in the extreme western part of our country.
We desire to extend to our many satisfied customers our sincere thanks for
their patronage, and the assurance that we are better able than ever to supply
their wants. To those who have never dealt with us, but whom we should like to
include among our friends, we shall be glad to demonstrate the high quality of our
stock. our ability to handle all orders, and our high-class methods of doing business.
Our president and manager, Mr. George C. Roeding, is known the country over
for his exhaustive research and untiring experiments in California horticulture. It is due to his
personal efforts that Smyrna Fig culture has become such a prominent feature of the fruit-growing
industries of the Pacific coast.
Our business principles may be summed up in the following:
To give our very best personal attention to all orders.
To ship goods promptly and insure their reaching our patrons in good condition.
To send out no tree or plant we would hesitate to plant ourselves.
To invite correspondence on any subject pertaining to our business. en
To place our services at the disposal of our patrons, and furnish advice on anything pertaining
to our line.
At our local sales yards, L and Fresno streets, Fresno, we will carry a fine line of ornamental
plants to meet the demands of our customers who have found it inconvenient to visit our nurseries.
Our main office is located on third floor Holland Building, No. 2137 Fresno street, in very commo-
dious quarters. From here we are in telephonic communication with all of our nurseries and de-
partments.
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS
In growing and furnishing all nursery stock every care and precaution is exercised to have it
true to name; still with all cur care, mistakes are liable to be made, but we hold ourselves in
readiness, 9n proper proof, to replace all stock that may be untrue to label, free of charge, or to
refund the amount paid. This statement is due notice to purchasers of nursery stock of the extent
of our liability after the same has been accepted by the buyer.
To Intending Purchasers
Things to Observe
1. Ail orders should be legibly written on a
separate sheet of paper, and not mixed up with
the body of the letter.
2. Im ordering please state whether substitu-
tion will be permitted, as we feel at liberty when
no instructions accompany the order to use
other varieties as nearly similar as Dossible.
It very often happens on orders of small as-
sorted varieties, for a home orchard, that it is
necessary to make substitutions. In making
same, it is our invariable rule to consider our
customer’s best interests. On orders for com-
mercial planting, substitutions are never made
without first corresponding with the customer
and making our recommendations before any
alterations are made in the order.
3. Our packing and labeling are as perfect
as possible, and we charge for the same only
to cover the cost of material. Cartage -to, the
railway or express office’ free of: charge.
4. State distinctly how you wish us to ship—
by freight or express; also designate the Youte,
otherwise we use our own discretion im for-
warding.
5. After delivering to the carriers we cannot
hold ourselvés responsible for any loss or in-
jury to trees or plants.after they have been
carefully pae@ked and shipped, but we will do
everything in our power, if any loss should oc-
cur, for the protection and recovery of our cus-
tomer’s property.
6. Orders to bé sent by express, C. O. D., will
be filled, provided one-half of the amount is
sent with the order.
%. If any mistakes are made in filling orders,
we will cheerfully rectify the same, but must
respectfully request our customers to notify us
at once, or, at the most, within ten days after
receipt of the goods.
8. Orders from unknown correspondents must
be accompanied by a remittance or satisfactory
reference.
9. We uniformly tie our trees in bunches of
10, and grape-vines in bundles of 50; and we
Suggest to our patrons to make their orders for
assortments as far as possible in multiples of
these numbers.
10. Articles mentioned in the following list
will be furnished at prices named as follows:
Five at the 10 rate; 50 at the 100 rate; 500 or
more at the 1000 rate. Less than five of a va-
riety at the single rate. This does not mean, as
an illustration, that 10 pears, 10 apples, 10
plums, 10 nectarines would be charged at the
100 rate. To secure this rate it will be neces-
sary to order 50 trees of one sort.
11. For the convenience of those who cannot
be reached by railroad or express, packages of
small trees, if in stock, not exceeding eleven
pounds in weight, can be forwarded by parcel
post, such articles to be charged at single rates,
postage additional.
12. Please remember to write your name,
postoffiice, county and state as distinctly as pos-
sible; also give your nearest express office and
railway station, er if on a stage route, send us
special directions,. giving us the name of the

tries to be accompanted by draft or internationa]
money order.

TO INTENDING PURCHASERS—Continued
About Weights and Shipping
The question of freight charges to distant
points is a matter of serious consideration to
such customers, and we are therefore submit-
ting a few figures to give a clearer insight into
the subject.
The general run of deciduous fruit trees. either
in bales or cases, average about as follows: 6 to
8 ft., 2 pounds each; 4 to 6 ft., 1% pounds each;
3 to 4 ft., 1 pound each; 2 to 3 ft., one-half of a
pound each. Grape-vines, one-third of a pound
each.
Deciduous ornamental trees from 6 to 8 ft
and up to 12 to 15 ft., 3 to 6 pounds each.
Potted plants in from 3 to 6-inch pots, packed
in boxes, weigh from 4 to 12 pounds each.
boxes, 40
Citrus trees, balled, packed in
pounds each, and with naked roots, 3 pounds
each.
Palms, packed in boxes, with ball of earth,
2 to 3-ft. plants, 40 pounds, and gradually in-
creasing to 110 pounds each on 5 to 6-ft. plants.
Grape cuttings 14 to 16 inches long, 80 pounds
to the thousand cuttings, in either bales or
boxes.
Eucalyptus, Cypress, about 100 to the flat, 50
pounds per flat; hedge plants from 50 to 100 to
the box, according to size, 50 pounds per flat.
Approximate Packing Charges
It is difficult to give these charges accurately,
as they will vary more or less, according to the
condition of the trees; however, the figures given
are taken from our records of charges for the
run of shipments for sizes specified: 6 to S-ft.
trees in bales, $3.00 per 1000; 4 to 6-ft. trees,
$2.50 per 1000; 8 to 4-ft. trees, $2.25 per 1000;
6 to S8-ft. trees completely boxed, $6.00 per 1000;
4 to 6-ft. trees, $4.00 per 1000; 3 to 4-ft. trees,
$3.50 per 1000.
Grape-vines, in bales, 75c per 1000 vines; in
eases completely boxed, $3 per 1000 vines.
Deciduous ornamental trees, 6 to S ft. and up
to 2 torih Et in’ bales; from’? >0e) to-91200) per
100, and completely boxed, $1.00 to $2.00 per 100.
Potted plants in from 38 to 6-ineh pots, from
3e to 10¢ each.
Citrus trees, balled, packed in boxes, tops pro-
tected with burlap, 10c per tree (boxes hold
from 10 to 12 trees), in cases, completely boxed,
20c per tree; naked roots, packed in moss in
boxes, tops burlapped, 2c per tree; completely
boxed, 3c per tree.
Palms, balled, in boxes, tops burlaped, from
10c to 20e per plant, according to size.
Grape cuttings packed in bales, 50c per 1000
cuttings, and in cases, completely boxed, 75¢ per
1000.
Eucalyptus, Cypress and hedge plants,
covered with burlap, in flats. 15c per flat.

As has been previously stated, the weights
and packing charges given are merely a general
average, and this data is supplied for the pur-
pose of placing our customers in position to fig-
ure out about what their stock will cost them
delivered at destination. We desire to assure
our patrons that we only charge for ‘packing to
cover the cost of material used.

Freight Classification
It may not be generally understood that the
method of packing a shipment of trees or plants
is the basis on which freight charges are made.
Nursery stock in bales or boxes completely cov-
ered with tule or burlap take a first-class rate,
while in cases completely boxed the third-class
rate applies. When trees are shipped without
packing, the classification requires the payment
of the double first-class rate.
In carload lots with a minimum of ten tons,
class C applies, and this is as a rule from 50 to
75 per cent less than the first-class rate.
For local shipments in California, trees are
either packed in bales, wrapped with tule, or in
boxes, tops protected with burlap; for the differ-
ence between the first and third-class rates is
so slight that nothing would be gained by box-
ing, for the increased cost would more than off-
set the saving in freight charges.
To distant points in Texas, Mexico, Colorado,
and to other states and countries outside of
Celifornia, when stock is to be a long time in
transit, it is packed in paper-lined cases, not
only with a view of having the trees carry
better, but also because of the saving in freight
charges, the difference in classification being in
many cases $1 per 100 pounds.
We have made a very close study of traffic
conditions, and our knowledge is used to secure
in all cases the very lowest freight rates for
the benefit of our customers.
No accurate data can be given as to freight
charges on orders for export, except that in a
general way a shipment by water to Australia
or Japan from San Francisco will cost about
one-third less than it does from Fresno to San
Francisco, a distance of 206 miles.

Square Method—Multiply the distance in feet
between the rows by the distance the plants are
apart in the rows, and the product will be the
number of square feet for each plant or hill;
which, divided into the number of feet in an
acre (43,560) will give the number of plants or
trees to an acre
Equilateral Triangle Method—Divide the num-
ber required to the acre “square method” by
the decimal .S66. The result will be the number
of plants required to the acre by this method.

Certain varieties of trees grow stocky, making it impossible to grade them on a basis of their
height. We reserve the right on such trees to grade them on a diameter or ealiper basis, as ‘o!-
lows: The measurements are made one inch above the intersection of the bud with the stock.

The difficulty of selecting varieties is a problem which no doubt confronts many of our cus-

BEAUTY. Another of the Burbank introduc-
tions, having been accorded a leading place
by the growers of shipping plums. Tree a
most remarkably vigorous upright grower,
with large healthy foliage. Fruit beautiful,
oval crimson with amber crimson flesh. The
largest of the early plums and ripening ten
days earlier than Santa Rosa.
*FORMOSA. This Japanese plum possesses such
a combination of good qualities that brings it
prominently to the front as a grand shipping
fruit. Tree is a vigorous upright grower wiih
large cherry-like foliage; fruit of the largest
size, heart-shaped and of light cherry-red
color. Flesh pale yellow, usually firm, sweet,
rich, delicious, with delightful flavor. Ripens
July.
*GAVIOTA. This beautiful plum has qualities
which are sure to make it a highly esteemed
table and shipping fruit. Ripens two weeks
after Formosa; is of a deep reddish purple
color; flesh honey yellow; fragrant and sweet
to the pit, which is so small in comparison
with size of fruit that it might almost be
called “seedless.”
APEX PLUMCOT. This new fruit ripens with
the earliest plums. Tree a strong, compact,
upright grower and good bearer even where
apricots cannot be grown, and in seasons
where some plums are failures. Fruit very
large and handsome, globular, color deep pink
or light crimson, free-stone; flesh honey-yel-
low, firm, rich, aromatic, . apricot-like; un-
equalled in size, beauty, productiveness and
quality by any other early fruit.
SANTA ROSA. [ff there is any one fruit whose
characteristics are individualized, they are
markedly pronounced in this one plum. To
begin with, it is extremely early, ripening the
middle of June; it is very large; of a deep
purplish crimson color, with pale blue bloom;
flesh near skin is a purple shaded with rosy
searlet and pale amber toward the stone,
which is quite small. Has a slight acidity
next to the skin, merely enough, however. to
relieve fruit from cloying. Its qualities may
be summed up briefly by stamping it as a good
grower, good bearer, fine shipper, good Keeper.
and in every way a money-maker.

Standard Prune
This late introduction of Burbank is a cross
between Tragedy and Sugar Prune. It has been
tried in a commercial way now for several
years, and it undoubtedly has great possibilities
as a high-grade Prune.
Burbank writes of it as follows:
“The trees are enormous and never-failing
bearers, and strong, healthy growers. Well-
grown fruits measure four and a half inches
around one way by nearly six inches the long
way. Skin dark reddish purple, with a heavy
blue bloom; flesh honey-yellow, fine-grained,
juicy, yet firmer than most other drying prunes.
Is very sweet and a perfect freestone.
“This is without doubt the best combination
drying and shipping prune ever grown. The
final test as to the value of this prune is that,
when dipped, the result is a quickly dried prune
which is larger than any heretofore grown.”
New Prune, “Conquest’’
One of Burbank’s late introductions. The tree
is a vigorous, healthy, rapid grower: and unusu-
ally productive. The fruit is very similar to the
French Prune in form, size, color and golden
sweet rich flesh. The stone has been eliminated
with the exception of a tiny speck. The fruit is
valuable and the tree is very productive. Ripens
with the common French Prune and is in all re-
spects very much like it in size, quality and ap-
pearance. Price $1 50 each; $10.00 per 10; $75.00
per 100.

To term it anything else would simply be mis-
leading. One of our leading growers called our
attention to an orchard of this variety at Suisun,
Solano County, in which extending over a period
of years, large sizes were the rule rather than
the exception. Growers in this section insist on
having this variety in preference to the regular
French Prune, knowing from years of observa-
tion that without exception the fruit produced
on the sport is identical in every particular, ex-
cept in size, and in this there has never been
any variation, the prunes averaging from 30s to
40s from year to year without exception. Care-
ful investigation on our part convinces us of the
merits of this improved type of French Prune
which to all appearance is the genuine sort with
the exception that the branches are inclined to
droop some and that it produces without fail
every year large crops of fruit, all of which are
of the largest sizes. This demonstration of se-
lection must appeal to every fruit grower.

Burbank Introductions
“The Leader’’
Price, 75c each; $6.00 for 10.
This and the following, originated by Bur-
bank and described by him the earliest of all
the Muir X Crawford types, ripening near the
coast in July. Unusually vigorous trees which
never fail to produce a full crop of beautiful,
smooth, globular, bright yellow fruit with deep
crimson blush; flesh pure yellow, meaty, firm,
very sweet and delicious—far superior to any
other. Freestone—exceedingly small stone. Has
never shown any trace of curl leaf.
“The National’’
Price, 75c each; $6.00 for 10.
A giant Muir X Crawford Peach which, like
the “Leader,” is yellow, but is half covered
with deep crimson-blush and crimson dots. Tree
a strong grower and never-failing producer of
very firm, nearly globular fruits. Freestone—
small stone. Flesh pale yellow, firm, superior
quality, far excelling either parent. Ripening
from ten days to two weeks after the ‘‘Leader,”’
and before the old Muirs and Crawfords. En-
tirely free from curl leaf.
A firm and most delicious Peach when canned,
and unexcelled for drying and shipping. Extra
handsome and extra good, also as a market or
home peach.
New Peaches
A new strain of peaches valuable on account
of their extreme earliness, average flavor and
shipping qualities. Trees are all strong growers
and heavy and regular bearers.

Eureka Almond
*EKUREKA (New). .This is a novelty only in
the sense that it has never been offered for
sale before last season. Blooms with Non-
pareil, usually in full bloom March 1. Nuts
mature September 1. One of the leading firms
in San Francisco has bought the crop from
this one orchard for a period of years and
writes of it as follows: “The Eureka, on ac-
count of the similarity of the Kernel in shape
and flavor to the famous Jordan, commands
the very highest price, and confectioners pay
a premium to secure it.’’ It differs in two es-
sentials to the Jordan, being somewhat smaller
in size and is a papershell. The tree is not
only an exceptionally strong grower but is an
unfailing heavy cropper. Originated on the
farm of A. M. Newland, Colusa, Cal. Trees
are eighteen years old and a failure of crop
has never been known. The commercial value
of this nut has been established by years of
trial. Mr. Newland’s orchard of this variety
is extensive and he recommends it above any
other variety. To the prospective fruit grower,
our words of commendation must be summed
up by advising the extensive planting of this
valuable variety which has so much to com-
mend it.’’

Too much cannot be said in praise of the im-
proved types of the Pecans. The Paper-shell
types, which we are offering for sale. are so far
superior to the common Pecans, that they can-
not be considered in the same category. The
Pecan thrives and produces fine crops of nuts
in all localities throughout California, except in
the immediate vicinity of the coast, where, on
account of the fog and cool breezes they would
be rather late in maturing, and it would, there-
fore, be inadvisable to plant them except for
avenue purposes or specimen trees.

The Pistachio
The Pistachio. Pistacia vera is the botanicai
name for the Pistachio nuts of commerce,
sometimes called green almond. Very exten-
sixely used for coloring and flavoring confec-
tionery, imparting a peculiar but agreeable
flavor which cannot be acquired from any
other source. In the domains of the Sultan
of Turkey, it is sold on the streets by vendors,
who simply prepare the nuts for consumption
by boiling them in salt water.
It thrives best in the warm interior valleys
and gives promise of assuming important com-
mercial proportions when the many new and
valuable varieties introduced by the United
States Department of Agriculture become
more widely disseminated. The tree is dioeci-
ous, that is the male and female flowers are
on different trees. It is therefore necessary
to have trees of both sexes to produce nuts.
The nuts are borne on the female tree in
clusters somewhat like grapes, but more scat-
tering and are covered by a thin, purplish
light green husk.
We list the grafted varieties as male and
female—

Walnuts Grafted on California Black
We have practically discontinued the growing
of the recognized leading varieties of walnuts
from seed, for the reason of the variation in the
seedlings which even the most carefui selection
cannot overcome. Standardization of the estab-
lished varieties can only be maintained by the
selecting of grafting wood from trees which are
known to be true to their type. Grafted trees
worked on the California Black Walnut have so
many points in their favor and one in particu-
lar is that they come into bearing several years
earlier than the seedlings, making the differ-
ence in price in favor of seedling not worthy
of consideration.

one of the leading commercial varieties. Im-
ported under the trade name Grenoble; size

*Coneord. This popular variety originated from
a seedling planted years ago by the fa-
ther of Mr. George Westcott in Walnut Creek.
Contra Costa County, Cal. The fact that the
tree has. been a strong grower, enormous
bearer, producing large, smooth, round nuts,
well filled, has placed it in the front rank as
the sort to plant by all Walnut growers in this
district. It is certainly worthy of trial in
other sections of the state.
*Neff’s Prolific. A rapid-spreading grower with
smooth and clean bark. Blooms late but
ripens its nut early. Nuts large, oval, slightly
ribbed and tightly sealed. Trees fifteen years
old in orchard form have produced 215 pounds
of fine, large nuts. Highly resistant to
blight. Hspecially suited to Southern Cali-
fornia conditions.
*Kureka. Regarded as one of the coming wal-
nuts of the state. Tree is remarkably vigor-
ous, upright grower, leaves and blooms fully
three weeks later than seedlings of the Santa
Barbara Soft-Shell, and is therefore very de-
sirable in localities subject to late frosts. An
immense producer and one of the most resist-
ant to blight. Nuts large, elongated, smooth
and tightly sealed.

*Willson. Originated by F. C. Willson and prob-
ably a seedling of the A’Bijou, to which it
bears a very close resemblance as to size,
which is, of course, exceptionally large. The
shell is much smoother. If there is any crit-
icism of this new introduction it is in respect
to the nuts not filling as well as they should,
but possibly this may be overcome by a
closer study of the traits of the tree. The
quality of the kernel is excellent. The va-
riety is noted for its precocity, even in
the nursery row being loaded with nuts. Val-
uable for planting in the confines of the home
grounds.

New Mandarin. Buds of this were forwarded
te us several years ago by Dr. Trabut, the
famous hortieculturist in charge of the French
Government Experiment Station, Algeria. The
tree is not quite as vigorous as the ordinary
Mandarin or Satsuma. It is more of a dwarf-
ish habit and in addition to this is very strik-
ing on account of its willow-like foliage,
making it a very handsome ornamental tree
as well as being a heavy producer of mest
luscious oranges. The fruit is of the true
Mandarin type with a few more seeds. The
flavor is of the best and the fact that it
ripens fully a month earlier, combined with
the fact that it is exceedingly ornamental,
as well as being very prolific will make it a
valuable acquisition for small gardens.
New Tangerine. A _ vigorous, upright grower
like the Dancy Tangerine. The fruit bears
very close resemblance to the ordinary Tan-
gerine, is almost seedless and ripen fully three
months egrlier. It gives every promise of
being one of the most valuable of our late
introductions in the citrus line and we take
pleasure in recommending it.

sirable variety. The bunches are large, heay-

*Gros Guilliaume. Among the Grapes of recent
introduction this of the black type is the
show fruit of them all. Bunches are of me-

decoration that makes them look as if molded

inches long, never too close; berries long,
olive-shaped, greenish amber, slightly brown
on side exposed to sun; crisp, firm, with a
neutral flavor. Vine very abundantly fur-

have propagated this variety for several years

worthy of a trial and we can recommend it

EVERGREEN TREES
We invite inspection of our evergreen stocks
as it often happens we have an assortment of
large sizes in specimen plants on which it is
difficult to make quotations in this list.
This list includes trees that do not shed all
their foliage at one time, thereby remaining
green after deciduous trees are bare.
All stock quoted in tubs and boxes are speci-
mens which have been well established in their
containers.

EUCALYPTUS
(The Gum Tree)
The tree is a native of Australia and serves a
variety of purposes—for example, it is often
planted in damp, swamp places, where it acts
as a sort of drain, absorbing excess moisture and
frequently improving an otherwise malarial lo-
cality. The ornamental value of the Eucalyptus
is considerable; its merits should not be over-
looked.
All varieties planted in flats contain about 100
plants to the flat. As it is necessary to cut the
flat in case a smaller quantity is ordered, part
flats will be charged at 1% cents per tree higher
than the hundred rate. Each 10

No plants are more decorative, for indoors
or out. The smaller and more tender varieties
“set off’’ interior decorations, while the larger
and hardier varieties are invaluable for garden,
lawn and avenue. We ecarry a large stoek in
boxes and tubs, which have been taken from
the open ground, and are well established. These
ean be used either for porch decorations or
planted out in the open. Such plants give an
immediate effect, and never go back, when
transplanted.

Newest in Roses
We take pleasure in caling attention to a few
varieties of roses which our Mr. Geo. C. Roeding
saw in a number of different nurseries while on
his recent trip to Europe. Many of these sorts
are entirely new and have never been offered
for sale before in the United States.
Among the immense list of new roses, it is a
source of satisfaction to us to be in a position
to offer for sale a few of the very best varieties.
Bach
TBAT GREY dh Gra gay 6 LOS Ie chgee aOR CRG CERISE Sate cee $0.75
CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT (H. T.). The
eolor is varied from a deep velvety scarlet
shaded to bright red and then to dark velvety
erimson, as the flowers expand. Its fragrance
is very pronounced.
ERNA TESCHENDORFF (Dwarf Poly.). Best
of the roses of this type. The color is a bril-
liant carmine red, similar to Gruss an Tep-
litz. It is not only a very free bloomer, but
in addition to this, the originator has instilled
into this variety a permanency of color which
has always been wanting in other roses of this
family.
EXCELSA (H. Wich.). Flowers double, pright
searlet, produced in clusters; a fine novelty.
EDWARD MAWLEY (H. T.). One of the best
of the new roses; flower large, dark velvety
erimson, almost continuously in bloom.
FARBEN-KONIGIN (H. T.). The color is a
earmine rose, inclined to somewhat deeper
color on the outside of the petals; flowers very
large and full.
GEO. ARENDS (H. P.). Called by the originator
“Red Frau Karl Druschki.’’ Flowers bright
red carmine, borne on long stems; an extra
good forcing rose.
HEINRICH MUNCH (HH. P.). It has every char-
acteristic of the Druschki with the exception
that the plants are somewhat stronger grow-
ers and the flowers are more striking, both in
bud form and when fully open. The petals
are beautifully reflexed. It is sure to be ac-
corded a high place among the list of new
pink roses.
Juliet
HELVETIA, (H. T.). Fine cut flower rose; in-
side of petals bright pink, outside flery red;
very free bloomer.
HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE
One of the finest of the yellow roses;
long, orange gold, opening well.
HIAWATHA (H. Wich.).
with white centre.
JONKHEER J. L. MOCK (H. T.). This stands
out as a leader among the immense assort-
ment of new roses and is so distinct that it
will win its way permanently as a standard
when many other sorts are long forgotten. It
is fine in bud, being full and well formed, and
is equally good when it opens up. In color,
it is a mixture of bright red and salmon pink
As a grower, it is among the best.
JULIET (Hybrid Briar). A distinct type of
rose. It is a wonderful grower, sending up
long strong stems surmounted by flowers of
most unique color; the outside of the petals is
old gold; the interior, rich rosy red, changing
to deep rose as the flowers expand; very large
and full; delicious fragrance.
KONIGIN CAROLA. (H. T.). A seedling from
Caroline Testout. Satiny rose with reverse of
petals silvery rose. Very striking and free
flowering. Even more so than its parent.
LAURENT CARLE (H. T.). Brilliant velvety
carmine: flowers very large, of perfect form,
not too full, always opening freely.
LIEUTENANT CHAURE (H. T.). Vigorous
grower; long buds borne on long stems. Will
become a very valuable sort for forcing and
as a cut rose. A cross between Liberty and
Etoile de France. Velvety crimson shaded
garnet.
LADY ASHTOWN (H. T.). This is recognized
as being one of the best of its type in culti-
vation: very free bloomer and keeps a splen-
did color; pale rose shading to yellow at base
of petals, reflex of petals silvery pink; buds
long and pointed; flowers large and full.
LADY HILLINGDON (T.).
Gontier and Mad Hoste. <A grand rose for
either pot work or garden decoration. Blooms
continuously, buds very long with a most
pleasing shade of orange yellow. Particularly
fine in the bud state.
LEUCHTFEUER (Bengal). Among the new
roses for bedding or massing, there is prob-
ably no variety grown today which is more
eflective than this rose of very recent origin.
Its free blooming qualities and brilliant blood
red color combine to place it among the top
notechers.
MADAM EDOUARD HERRIOTT (Pernetiana).
A very strong grower; flowers a unique blend-
ing of shrimp pink, copper, orange, and apri-
cot.
MADAM JULE GROLEZ (H. T.). Another rose
of very highest quality and entitled to a place
at the head of the list among the roses de-
serving of the greatest recognition. Color a
beautiful satiny China rose; flowers of large
size; very double; of good form and very free
flowering. Deserves to be planted extensively.

A cross of Papa
SUNBURST (H. T.). (Pernet Ducher, 1911).
May be described as a glorified Mrs. Aaron
Ward. Few roses have so many favorable
points all combined in one plant. Its bronzy
foliage; absence of thorns; its long pointed
orange-yellow buds becoming deeper towards
the center, carried on long, stiff stems, place
it in the front rank among the new roses.
RAYON D’ OR (H. T.). There is probably no
yellow rose in existence today that possesses
the remarkable coloring of this grand new
rose. <A vigorous grower, of fine branching
habit, with fine bronzy green foliage and oval
shaped buds; tinged coppery orange. It is not
only very attractive in this form but equally
so when the flowers are expanded, on account
of its fine substance and magnificent golden
yellow coloring; in every way a superb rose.
