Armstrong Select DAME EDITH HELEN Immense Size. Delightful Fragrance. Constance. The bush forms a rich nest of bright green glossy foliage profusely covered all through the growing season with its beau- tiful orange-yellow buds lavishly streaked with crimson, opening to full flowers of various shades of yellow. 50c each. Crested Moss. This old Moss Rose has a crown of lacy moss upon the stems and sepals. The flowers are sweetly fragrant, very double, pale rose-pink in color, and the bush is very large and vigorous, thriving anywhere, but should be left unpruned for best results. 75c. Dame Edith Helen. Though there are many fine pink roses, this one remains a leader. Big full double flowers of glowing pink, freely produced on a vigorous upright, long-stemmed bush. Its immense size, fully double blooms and delightful fragrance, combined with its unusual lasting qualities when cut, make it a rose for every garden. See color illustration above. 50c each. FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS

A Charming Single Maid Dainty Bess. Words fail us when we try to put into words the delicate charm and elusive loveliness of this dainty single rose, which is, in our opinion, the finest single rose grown. The five-petalled flowers are borne in clusters of three or more, each flower three inches across, delicate pink in color, with a brown- ish-red overcast and contrasting center of wine-red stamens. The flowers are very last- ing when cut, and the bush is strong and tall, blooming continuously. Everybody likes Dainty Bess, and the demand for it has grown steadily each year. 75c each. Dazla. A big, spreading, 4-foot bush, pro- ducing quantities of large, semi-double, terra cotta or scarlet-orange flowers of dazzling in- tensity. The brilliant little buds are perfect for the buttonhole and the bushes make a great splash of color in the garden. 75c each. Duchess of Athol. For novelty and intensity of coloring, this rose is outstanding. The full, double flowers on their heavy stems possess an extremely rich shade of copper-bronze flushed with orange and old rose. The color is similar to that of Angele Pernet, but greatly intensified. Exceedingly vigorous with bronzv- green foliage, and stiff, erect stems. 50c each. Edward Mawley. A big, bold, handsome rose of very dark crimson with enormous pet- als. Its great buds open out to great cup- shaped flowers. 50c each. E. G. Hill. Immense flowers of very lasting, dazzling scarlet, never fading or turning blue, but actually becoming deeper red as it opens. The flowers are borne on long stems, and are deliciously fragrant. The foliage is abundant. Its brilliant color, extraordinary freedom of bloom, and lasting qualities have made it a popular rose everywhere. See colored illus- tration next page. 50c each. Etoile de Hollande. This magnificent red rose is ranked among the first three of its color by everyone who knows roses, and many will place it first. The perfect buds are of medium size, opening beautifully and cleanly into glorious great flowers with incomparable fragrance, holding its brilliant color to the end. The bush is strong, free branching, and healthy. A rose that actually has no serious fault, and every new red rose is automatically compared with it. 50c each. Edith Nellie Perkins. We fell in love with this rose when we first saw it and our opinion has not been changed. The flowers are two- toned, orange-buff inside the petals and a rich salmon or coppery-pink outside, the orange tint giving a bright glowing effect to the entire bloom. The long stems are splen- didly shaped, have excellent stiff stems for cutting, and are produced in great quantities on the strong, vigorous bush. The only thing it lacks is fragrance, and we can for- give that for its other fine qualities. 75c each. Etoile de Feu. Translated into English, the name is "Star of Fire" which describes it exactly, for its big, wide-spreading flower is crowd- ed with stiff petals to the very cen- ter, radiating out to make a great star-like flower of flaming pinkish- orange. Dwarf and bushv, with glistening healthy foliage. 50c each. Etoile de France. A sparkling red rose which has long been a favor- ite in its color because of its con- tinued bloom, beautiful color and rich fragrance. It is par- ticularly good in hot dry weather, and we recom- rmend it for the interior sections. 50c each. Florence Pemberton. Has long been a satis- factory rose because of the extremely strong growing bush and long, upright flower stems. The color is creamy white suffused with pink, and the bud is perfect in form, with a high- pointed center. Particularly good for Arizona and interior valleys. 50c each. Feu Joseph Looymans. This wonderful Dutch Rose has always been a favorite of ours, as it is of everyone who knows it. Produces quan- tities of great long slender buds of buff-yellow, shaded vivid apricot in the center, opening to large, fairly full flowers, and the bushes are seldom without blooms during the growing season. Growth tall and upright. There is probably no finer rose of its color. See illus- tration in color at left. 50c each. Gaiety. This little known rose has all of the soft reds and smoky yellows of an Indian Summer, and it is particularly fine in the fall. The plump, gaily colored little bud opens eventually to a full salmon-pink flower, and it is a most satisfactory grower and bloomer, and the only thing that it lacks is fragrance. 50c each. General McArthur. If you want the red rose with the sweetest fragrance, this is it. For a long time was the leading red rose and is still deservedly popular, with its flat, full per- fumed blooms. The bush is exceedingly strong and free-blooming, and the flowers are par- ticularly fine in early spring and early autumn. 50c each. Golden Dawn. Rose fans the country over have been raving about the beauty of this newcomer from Australia. We think there are better yellow roses, but Golden Dawn has made thousands of friends. The oval buds are rich sunflower yellow, heavily diffused with cerise before opening, developing into high-centered double flowers of light lemon- yellow, with the original old Tea scent. 50c each. Two Old Favorite Red Roses Hadley. Everybody knows this old favorite, which, with its brilliant rich crimson color, vigorous growth, long stems, mildew-proof foliage, full blooms and rich fragrance, is close to the top in red roses. It suffices to say that if you like red roses you must not be without Hadley. 50c each. Hoosier Beauty. An intense rich daz- zling scarlet with darker shadings, and acknowledged to be one of the best and most highly colored red roses. The beautifully formed flowers have a tex- ture like velvet and possess a delicious fragrance. The plants are never with- out flowers in the blooming season and the blooms never fade or turn blue. 50c each. Golden Emblem. The lovely long buds of golden yellow are beautifully tinted with crimson on the outer petals, but offering a delightful contrast at all times. Opens to a full golden yellow flower. The glossy green foliage is particularly fine, does not mildew, and the buds are borne on long stiff stems above the strong growing, vigorous bushes. Blooms freely and continuously. Has long been the most popular yellow rose on the Pacific Coast. See colored illustration next page. 50c each. Golden Gleam. It may be heresy to say that Golden Gleam is a better rose than Gold- en Emblem, but there are those who persist in saying it. The buds are longer and of a better shape, and the color, while similar to that of Golden Emblem, is richer and with more carmine on the buds. The growth, while not as strong, is more consistent, and the foliage is a brighter, more shining green. 75c each. Price Reductions for Quantities Quantities may consist of assorted varieties. Each Rate 10 or more 50 or more $1.00 $ .90 each $ .80 each .75 65 each .55 each .50 45 each .35 each Postage extra. See page 1. 58 —
