Favorites All Over America Fiesta Colors Fiesta. 2833. Dazzling is the only word that describes this remarkable variegated Rose. The color scheme consists of stripes and flecks of bright yellow on a background of rich vermilion. The flowers nestle in dark green, glossy foliage of large size and make a great show on the plant, as well as pro- viding most unusual cut flowers. A modest grower, requiring a little extra water and fertilizer to secure the finest blooms. Slightly fragrant. You and your friends will exclaim over this bizarre yet daintily colored Rose when it blooms in your gar- den. Plant Pat. No. 389. $1.50 each. Floradora A>^ki Floradora. 2865. Call it cinnabar- iffi^jflff red, orange-scarlet, scarlet-ver- HI* » milion — whichever sounds the most dazzling and attractive to you. Car- ried in sprays of from 6 to 12 blooms, each slowly opening miniature bud is exquis- itely formed, and the fully double, open flowers look like perfect little camellias, 2 inches across. Perfect for corsages and small bouquets. The tall, glossy-foliaged plants reach 3 feet with ease. No fragrance. If you leave the old blooms on too long, they will fade to a most disreputable col- or. But you'll probably want to cut them before they get to that stage to enjoy their beauty in the house. Plant Pat. pend- ing. $1.50 each. Old Frau Karl Frau Karl Druschki. 2867. (Hybrid Perpet- ual.) Pure white, with immense long buds and very double flowers, wax-like in tex- ture. Hardy everywhere, with long upright growth up to 6 feet. Put it where it has plenty of room to grow. $1.00 each. Order Early Wartime conditions have again made the crop of roses short this year. Be sure to get your order in as early as possible so thai you'll not be disappointed. During the lat- ter part of the planting season many vari- eties will be sold out, but we will till all orders according to the date they are re- ceived. If you live in Southern California, slop at one of our four Salesyards in On- tario, North Hollywood, Culver City or Long Beach and take your rose plants di- rectly home with you. They are easily carried, and you'll avoid shipping delays. Fred Edmunds Fred Edmunds. 2869. (Meilland.) This new orange-colored rose won an All-America Regional Award for the Pacific Coast (1944). It's the best orange-colored rose yet, in our opin- ion, with a color so rich it will startle you when you see it. It is exceedingly vivid in the bud, slowly changing to a softer apri- cot-orange shade in the older blooms. Probably at its best in the cooler sections. The plants have been vigorous with us, with glistening, glossy, large foliage and the flowers have a delicious fruity frag- rance. Lacks perfection in form, but the vivid color makes it well worth growing. Plant Pat. pending. $2.00 each. Girona. 2871. A fragrant multi-color in pink, carmine, yellow. See page 32. $1.25 each. Golden Rapture Golden Rapture. 2877. This Rose has pro- duced some of the most perfectly formed bright yellow buds that we have ever seen —not a pale yellow, but a glowing shining rich yellow without any shadings and the color seldom fades. Has a mild but pleas- ant fragrance. The growth is medium. In our opinion there is no finer yellow Rose in its color class and its perfection of form and richness of color make it popular with everyone who sees it. Also offered as a climber and illustrated on page 35. $1.25 ea. Grande Duchesse BMja^f Grande Duchesse Charlotte. 2879. iiiiSrT The interesting buds are a rich * claret color (you may call it brick-red), which changes as the flowers age to a lovely begonia-rose. The flowers are not always perfect in form, but they are always beautiful because of that rich color, never seen in roses before. The plant is big, strong and free-branching. To us the fragrance is like that of ripe fruit. When the container grown plants came into bloom in our Yards last spring, they were snapped up as fast as the customers could take one glance at those richly colored buds. A 1943 All-America Rose. Plant Pat. Pending. $1.50 each. Heart's Desire. 2883. page 33. $1.50 each. Fragrant red. See

Crimson Glory (at left), one of the top three red roses throughout the entire coun- try. Richly fragrant, too.
