American Beauty. H. Perpetual (1886) No modern rose has equalled its rich fragrance, none are likely to take its place in the sentimental memories of the older generation. When planted in part shade, or cut and opened indoors, color is deep, live rose shaded smoky carmine, --if must be planted in the full hot sun the faded color will not remind you of those old-time florist beauties. In this case, best you retain your nostalgia and leave the plants with us. A large, full-bodied and heavily perfumed rose, recurrent bloom. $1.75

“ ‘Angels Mateu’ is a must. I saw it blooming here last summer and I'm still blinking," writes Mary Jose, Lancaster, Ohio. . . and she's not the only one! Everyone who sees it blinks, and when I say "smell it," they stop blinking and close their eyes the better to savour its intense fruity fragrance. The large, many petaled flowers are flame brushed gold. 3 for 5.25 each $2.00

Arrillaga. H. P. I.(1929) This is a giant among pink roses, with Mrs. John Laing and Frau. K. Druschki in its parentage. Bears in great, all-season profusion, fat buds, singly on long stems...so "fat" in bad weather, they have difficulty in opening to perfection. Not recommended for the seashore--elsewhere hard to beat. Plant with the white Everest and you will have "a pair of aces to draw to".

"Last spring, thanks to your catalog suggestion, I pegged down the long canes of my Arrillaga, --result: dozens of plate-size, pulchritudinous shining, pink blooms, --many six inches across on stems fully a foot long. " --St. Clair Garwood, Xenia, Ohio $1.75

Rated an "A" in the catalog-writer's field notes. $1.50

‘Baby Faurax’. Polyantha. (1924). 8 – 12 inches. Flowers repeatedly.
A dwarf plant that puts all its energy into flowering. Blooms in clusters of tiny buds opening to violet ¾ inch double flowers. Much of the color tones of the violet depend upon the mineral content of your soil – turns more violet where more iron is present, and will have tones of reddish-pink violet otherwise. The blossom cluster often has 50 buds – a miniature bouquet arranged by nature. Excellent for a garden border.
