Roses.
Los Angeles. (Hybrid Tea)  The following is the originator's description which, after carefully testing out this variety in our specimen grounds, we find to be true in every respect: "A rose which, through its own intrinsic worth and beauty will eventually find its way into the gardens of rose lovers throughout the world.  The color is absolutely new in roses.  Luminous flame pink toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals.  Buds long and pointed, expanding to a flower of mammoth proportions.  Beautiful from the opening bud until the last petal drops.  A rose which will furnish you, from plants grown in your own garden, better flowers than can be produced from the finest of under-glass grown stock."  The plants are extra strong, two years old, pruned back to eighteen inches high and will bloom freely this next summer.  Price $1.50 each.

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.
Mme Edouard Herriot.  Hybrid Tea.  A most individual rose with unsurpassed and unique coloring. Though named in honor of the wife of a Premier of France, it is better known as "Daily Mail" by reason of winning the famous Gold Cup offered by that newspaper for the best new variety.  As a bedding rose it stands supreme, not only for its profusion of blooms but for the vivid color tones and shading.  A rose of medium size and semi-double form.  The old-rose colored outer petals curl back at the edge, disclosing a riot of color from coral red to flame scarlet and the base of the petals touched with pure gold.  The foliage is bright green and forms a fitting setting for this garden gem.  Towards late afternoon when viewed in the glancing rays of the setting sun this rose glows as if illuminated by some inner flame.  No modern rose garden is complete without one or more plants of Mme. Edouard Herriot.
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.
