THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



NOVELTY ROSES FOR 1913 



Tuliet. This, perhaps, is the most distinct Rose ever introduced 

 * for color, which is unique. It is of the same type as So- 



leil d'Or, Rayon d'Or and other Austrian Briers and their hybrids. 

 It was introduced by VVm. Paul & Son, in igio. These types require 

 very little pruning; simply remove dead and useless wood. The fol- 

 lowing is the raiser's description : " Outside of petals old-gold, inte- 

 rior rich rosy red, changing to deep rose as the flowers expand. A 

 very distinct and attractive novelty, blooming both in summer and 

 autumn. Large and full, of powerful and delicious fragrance ; most 

 beautiful." 50 cts. each, $2.25 for 5, $40 per 100.

 5, S60 per 100. 



"Wm. R. Smith. This is, in our 



opinion, the 



greatest late summer and fall Rose ever 

 introduced. While a true everbloomer, 

 it is not so perfect in early summer ; but 

 after most other Roses are gone, this 

 begins to come out strong and con- 

 tiiiues to improve until, in October 

 (here), it is cut down by frost. The 

 ucneral color effect is a peachy blush, 

 with j-ellow at base of petals. This 

 Rose has all the characteristics of the 

 man Cochet, from which it is descen- 

 1, and is absolutely immune from 

 disease. Foliage is dark green, heavy 

 and leathery; young growth bronzy red. 

 In this latitude (New York City) it 

 will go through an ordinary winter with- 

 out protection, but protection is advis- 

 able as with other Roses. 50 cts. each 

 $2. 25 for 5, S40 per 100.
