Late Rose Introductions 



SOUVENIR de Claudius Pernet, a Pernet'mna seed- 

 ling, is a rose that has been long waited for. It 

 IS a golden yellow rose which will stand our vigor- 

 ous requirements and 

 will not turn white 

 around the edges as does 

 most every yellow rose. 

 The orange yellow shade 

 so prominent in such 

 sorts as Mrs. Ward or 

 Sunburst is entirely ab- 

 .sent here, and Souvenir 

 de Claudius Pernet with 

 its clear shining yellow 

 color has created a ver- 

 itable sensation among 

 all visitors to the 

 numerous exhibitions 

 where it has been shown. 

 Max Graf has at- 

 tractive, single, bright 

 pink flowers, with petals 

 even more crimped than 

 the pink form of Ru- 

 gosa. While an excel- 

 lent climber, or pillar 

 rose, it is even more ap- 

 pealing as a ground 

 cover, surpassing, in this 

 respect, any of the Wi- 

 churaiana varieties. It is 

 especially attractive 



when planted on a steep bank, 

 wall. 



Mrs. William C. Egan, a new 



or trailing over a stone 



hybrid tea rose, is named 

 in honor of the wife of 

 William C. Egan, well 

 known and appreciated 

 for his love of horticul- 

 ture. It is an extremely 

 vigorous, healthy grow- 

 er, and popular for indi- 

 vidual plantings m small 

 gardens as well as for 

 massed effect in large 

 gardens. The reverse 

 of the petals is of a 

 pleasing shade of light 

 pink, the interior a deep 

 flesh color with a golden 

 line at base of petals. 

 Its long pointed buds 

 are of perfect form, de- 

 veloping into flowers of 

 good shape.
