"Strong grower with large green foliage. Flowers produced singly on stems one-half to one foot long [ca. 1.5-3 dm]; when in bud hardly distinguishable from 'Perle [des Jardins]', bright yellow, and when open cream color, three to three and one-half inches in diameter [ca. 7.5-9cm], incurving towards evening to perfect imitation of [ the] Gardenia, or Cape Jasmine, hence its name. Flowers are delightfully fragrant, and produced freely.”[CAO1]

The Famous "Golden Emblem"
(Shown in all the beauty of its natural colors on the opposite page.)
Golden Emblem.  Hybrid Tea.  Most wonderful in bud and flower.  The buds, close wrapped and full, are of golden yellow striped with crimson on the outer petals.  When open the rose is of the purest Cadmium yellow.  The evenness and purity of the color tone in this rose is most remarkable, and it seems destined to become one of the world's most popular varieties among those who love to have a gold rose in their garden.  The foliage is bright elm green and the stems are strong and upright.  Do not fail to include this variety in your rose garden.
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75; 10 for $9.00.  All postpaid.

The "Niles Three"
These three superb roses- Los Angeles, Mme Edouard Herriot ("Daily Mail") and Hoosier Beauty- are shown in the color plate on page 14.
Hoosier Beauty.  Hybrid Tea.  One of the most distinctive crimson roses grown.  The dark red buds are long, slender and of almost perfect form.  The open bloom which ranges in color from a velvety red to brilliant crimson is of such size and substance that one is surprised that it has opened from a bud so slender and elegant.  The fragrance of this rose is of that fresh spicy quality that has made the red rose the flower of love and poetry.
These three roses, postpaid, for $2.35.  Any one of these roses, price 85 cents, postpaid.  The four above [including Golden Emblem], postpaid, for $3.25.

Improved Rainbow Entirely distinct in its markings.  The 'Improved Rainbow' instead of being broadly marked like its parent, the 'Rainbow', is pencilled with brightest '[Papa] Gontier] color, every petal in every flower, and base of petals of bright amber color, making a very distinct and charming flower.
