The beautiful PERSIAN YELLOW Rose is commended highly, especially to those living in the colder sections of our country.

Its rich coloring and hardiness, combined with its early season of bloom and fragrant young foliage, give it a value among Roses comparable to the value of gold among metals.

A cousin to this Rose is HARISON'S YELLOW; like it in color but less double in bloom and more able to care for itself wherever planted. Both bloom earlier than even the Rugosas though not so early as HUGONIS.

La France. Beautiful on the lawn; just as fine in vases Roses for Various Purposes and Uses Twelve Star Varieties In selecting the best roses, there are so many qualities to be considered that it requires a large collection and unusual opportunities to watch and study them under every possible condition they are likely to encounter. We have been fortunate in having unusual facilities for this experimental work. Furthermore, our observation extends over a long period of years, during which, each season, we have obtained and tried out all new sorts of promise, and thus aim to have the best obtainable constantly on trial. We also travel extensively and visit rose-gardens in many states of the Union. Due regard has been given to the published experiences of other dependable rose-lovers, in reaching our own conclusions.

To pass our severe test, a rose must prove itself a vigorous grower and an abundant bloomer, and must also excel its rivals either in size, color, form, fragrance, or habit. So many friends ask us to select their roses that we believe they must have read Pemberton's advice. (See page 38.) These pages answer your questions before you ask them; they save you the expense of experiments; and, if you do your part, you can count on a reward of good bloom.
