It is a great pleasure to be able to offer such a meritorious new Rose, particularly so, one of Amer- ican origin, and we believe that this splendid variety is only the forerunner of other equally good sorts ''Made in ; We have not only seen the originators' great field of it in California, but have also had the opportunity of watching the behavior of a dozen plants in our own trial beds the past Summer, under what has been one of the most trying seasons we have ever experi- enced, and it has given a most satisfactory account of itself in strong, vigorous growth and in freedom of bloom in which it was not equalled by any other variety in its first season after planting. Even at this late date (October 20th) after several sharp frosts we have before us some splendid flowers over four inches across, as perfect in form as those shown on our colored plate, but with a life and fire of color that makes our color plate which we consider very good appear dull and lifeless. Following is the originators' description: "Los Angeles is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses ever introduced. The growth is very vigor- ous, and produces a continuous succession of long- stemmed flowers of a luminous flame-pink toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity the finest Marechal Neil. The buds are long and pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth proportions, while the beauty of form and ever increasing wealth of color is maintained from the incipient bud until the last petal ; Unlike many of the new imported Roses the plants are extra heavy two-year-old stock, which should give a full crop of flowers this season. Price, $ each. Tipperary. (McGredy& Son, 1917.) In color stands between Lady Hillingdon and Melody, showing an attractive shade of soft golden yell
