NEW INTRODUCTIONS AND SPECIAL CLASSES 



Mrs. Bertram J. Walker; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1915. 

 Clear bright cerise pink. Of attractive color, but has not grown 

 well for the first year; loses its foliage, and gives practically no fall 

 bloom. Undoubtedly only a collector's rose. 



Mrs. Franklin Dennison; Hybrid Tea; McGredy, 1915. 

 Porcelain white, veiled primrose yellow deepening to ochre at the 

 base. Showing good growth for the first year; attractive coloring, 

 but with only fair foliage. A rose worth watching. 



Mrs. George Gordon; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1915. 

 Bright rosy pink, flushed silvery pink at the edges of the petals. 

 Good growth and good blooming qualities; fair foliage; semi-double 

 and fades quickly. Needs to be tested further. 



Mrs. Hugh Dickson; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1915. Deep 

 cream with heavy suffusion of orange and apricot. A rose which 

 has not shown up well, but which is attractive in color and foliage. 

 Worthy only of a place in large collections. 



Mrs. MacKellar; Hybrid Tea; Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1915. 

 Solid deep citron or delicate pure canary, passing to pearly primrose. 

 A rose of perfect form in bud; somewhat shy in petals and does not 

 open as well as the best; foliage holds well; the color is clear and 

 attractive. Undoubtedly a variety which will need consideration 

 in a short time if its improvement continues. 



Mrs. Mona Hunting; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1916. Deep 

 chamois yellow, opening to pure fawn. A very attractive color; 

 fair form, with a good stem. Will probably not give enough growth 

 to be included in the list, but is promising as a collector's rose. 



Muriel Dickson; Pernetiana; Hugh Dickson, 1915. Deep 

 reddish copper in the bud state, paling with age to cherry red with 

 coppery shadings. Of wonderful color, but very weak growth; three 

 plants out of four died during the past winter. When established, 

 however, it may prove to be hardy. 



National Emblem; Hybrid Tea; McGredy & Son, 1915. Dark 

 crimson, overlaid velvety crimson shading to vermilion towards the 

 edges. A rose of beautiful and distinct color, and fine form for a 

 red; good foliage and fair growth for the first year, combined with 

 hardiness. This rose may go a great deal further. 



Nellie Parker; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1916. Pale 

 creamy white, with deeper cream center. Shows fair growth for 

 the first season; good form; some fragrance; of medium size; usually 

 having a good stem. 



Panama; Hybrid Tea; J. Cook, 1916. Rich peachy pink, inside 

 of petals creamy white. A rose well spoken of, but not yet thoroughly 

 tested outside and therefore cannot be recommended as an all-round 

 rose. Plants tested by J. N. Richardson, Baltimore, planted May, 

 1916, gave twenty-six blooms throughout the season. 



Prince Charming; Hybrid Tea; Hugh Dickson, 1916. Deep 

 reddish copper, with old gold base. Semi-double, of attractive 

 color, with lasting qualities. Showing enough growth the first year 

 to make it worth while considering further. Promises to be a good 

 bedding variety.
