ROSES California s Best EIGHTEEN OUTSTANDING VARIETIES—Cont. Mrs. Henry Morse. A bright flower of two contrasting tones of pink, with an underlying yellow glow; double, high centered, large, moderately fragrant. Plant tall and branching; foliage a little sparse. Very free blooming and has proved quite hardy. Padre. An exquisite new variety in a color that is distinct from any other. The bud is long and pointed, borne on a strong stem with dark foliage. The color is a beautiful shade of coppery orange crimson with yellow shadings at the base of the petals. Souvenir De Claudius Pernet. Both bud and bloom are clear sunflower-yellow, unstained by any other color, and are attrac- tively formed. As the flower ages, the outside petals become light sulphur-yellow. This rose performs best in hot, dry. bright weather. Flowers often appear in clusters. It is best to cut them when in bud form. A vase full of these glorious yellow- blooms is like a bouquet of captured sunshine. Souvenir De Georges Pernet. Produces massive blooms of deep carmine pink, often referred to as cochineal red but carmine pink we believe describes it better, yellow shadings at base of petals. Blooms when open measure 5 to 6 inches across. Souvenir De H. A. Verschuren. A fine orange-yellow which we believe is far superior to Sunburst. Does not fade in hot weather and keeps well as a cut flower. Stems are stiff, carry- ing buds well above the heavy leathery foliage. Queen Alexandra. A remarkable color combination is seen in this rose. Color is two toned, outside of the petals vermillion, reverse side old gold. The base of the flower is golden yellow. The plant is low growing and foliage Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digi
