Wyoming emd California, with a H. P. (Paul Neyron), i)r()duced 

 Schoener's Nutkana. This variety was combined by J. H. 

 Nicolas with Souvenir de Mme. BouUet, a Hybrid Tea, from 

 which cross the rose called Leonard Barron originated. This 

 may perhaps be considered the forerunner of a new strain of 

 Hybrid Tea roses. 



Condesa de Sastago (1933). Coppery-red petals with golden- 

 yellow reverse, fragrant and a good grower. 



Eclipse (1936). Slender yellow buds which have been de- 

 scribed as "streamlined." The opened flowers hold their color 

 well. 



Hinrich Gaede (1931). Flowers of orange-yellow flushed with 

 nasturtium-red. 



McGredy's Yellow (1933). One of the best of the new roses, 

 with color described as canary yellow. 



Signora (1934). A tall plant with long buds of burnt sienna, 

 paling as the flower opens. 



Texas Centennial (1935). A sport of President Herbert 

 Hoover, with flowers of bright red changing to deep pink. 



Will Rogers (1936). A man's rose. Flowers fragrant, of rich, 

 dark, velvety crimson. 



Anyone studying this group of Hybrid Teas — there are about 

 two hundred varieties planted he^re- will notice several interest- 

 ing things about them. One is the scarcity of good red and good 

 white H. T. roses. As a matter of fact, there is no really satisfac- 

 tory white H. T. rose in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Kaiserin 

 Auguste Viktoria (1891) has a good reputation as a white rose, 

 but is more or less a failure with us; Mme. Jules Bouche (1911) 

 is perhaps the best here. 



Another point of interest Is that roses with glowing yellow and 

 orange coloring do not appear until after the advent of the flrst 

 Pernetianas in 1900. Previous to this, all the yellow coloring in 

 H. T. varieties came, a])parently, from Rosa odorata var. ochro- 

 leuca, whose flowers are soft, pale yellow. 



It will be noticed that some varieties, notably Cn'uss an Teplitz 

 (1897) and Fcarlate (1907), look quite different from the general 

 run of H. T. varieties, which, although varied in size, form, and 

 color, do have a general family resemblance. We have followed
