Kroilicrtf Zwci nnil riitlipr Itiitror tlian Dniscliki : 

 liKiks like a valuablo Kardou rose; I'lee in iioorer 

 hoil. 



Uixiliattc — A pi>Ijaiitlia; Koiiiidaiihlc: red; looks 

 like an extreinely valuable polvanllia. 



Kraii Uiulolt Scliiiiiilt — Ked Jessie; Kimilar t.i 

 Jessie in every respect, oxeeiit tliut it is a elear, 

 liery red, 



S. S. I'ennock— Hybrid tea (Mr. Kordes' de' 

 seriptioii); KeedlinK of Lieiiteiuiiit Cliaure's Mrs. 

 • ieorKe Sbawyer. The bud comes pointed loiij; 

 and tliick. Ojjena well in every weather to a 

 bi;.', bi^jhcentcred, well shaped llower. Its keep 

 int,' (pialities are at least those of .Shawver, but 

 (he color is clear pink with intense apricot shad- 

 ings. 11 is as full as Slinwyer, but freer; we 

 counted si.\ to ten sinKle-steninied Kood llowers 

 on the plants iit the same time, as they stood in 

 the Held, as against Shuwyer, four to si.Y. Tin; 

 llower always stands single on lonj;, stiff stems; 

 KoimI in spring under Klass; probablv a kocmI 

 forcer also; Kordes seedliui,', to be distributed in 

 fall of lUi-J. 



Wilhclm Kordes — Pernctlana; seedling of Adolf 

 Koschel and (iorgeous; the bud comes long, point- 

 ed, almost always single; bud color is a little 

 yellow, with scarlet red; the llower is medium- 

 sized, bud of ideal shape, iiud opens in the worst 

 of wi'alber; color, dillleult to describe, in cool 

 weather glowing siarlet, with gold yellow center; 

 in hot. sunny weather golden yellow, with deep 

 red stripes and veins; perhaps up to now the most 

 distinct of all the bicolored roses; distribution 

 in fall of ltli;2; no mildew or black spot. 



Camillo Schneider — A seedling of I^ieutenant 

 Chaiire and Comte O. do Itochennor; bud thick, 

 pointed, dark red; opens to a well-built, medium; 

 sized, clear, cromson-colored flower. Good in 

 every weather; will be much admired on account 

 of its well-formed, clear-colored, erect-borne, 

 freely iiroduced (lowers; makes strong, healthv 

 plants; fall of 1U21.'. 



Hortiilanus Fiet — Verschuren, remetiann. A 

 Wonderful rose; bud thick, pointed, mostly white. 

 upening to a splendid clear, massive golden yel- 

 low; ideal shape and strong iM'tals make it a rose 

 that is perhaps one of the most admired when 

 known; jierfectly pest-free. 



Miss AVilmott — Hybrid tea; a distinct white or 

 suliiluir white rose; bud thick, pointed, greenish- 

 white; opens to a well-formed fidl Uower; most 

 of the buds have a light pink center on the ti)) 

 of the oiieniug llower, but this disappears and 

 the open Uower has a reall.v line color. 



(;ioire de Holland — Hybrid tea; a much needed 

 rose for beds in the open; blaekisli crimson; rare 

 color; biuls dark; opens to a well formed, cup- 

 sliaped big flower; it never blues anil the color 

 does not fade or burn in the sim; will be much 

 wanted when known. 



Covent (iarden — A rose for the trade. Others 

 have perhaps more glowing colors, but this 

 brings the necessary number of perfe<'t buds on 

 long, stiff stems ami a stI^^ng neck; c-olor about 

 the same as (ieniTal Mac.\rlhur; pest free. This 

 rose and Ktoile ile Holland will h.ive to ni.ike a 

 run for the markets of the (dd world and. doubt- 

 less, also in the new. It will remain with the 

 rosi' lovers to decide whether oni- or the otlnT 

 shall be favorite or both. Iladley rose is pi r 

 haps still unbeaten, but it blues etisily and that 

 is a gre.at fault. 



lios .\ngcles and Columbia -They are both line 

 outside ami will be in great <lemanil. 



Mrs. H. II. Karlington It is a rose for a good 

 climate; it is a marvel, iK'st desiriU'd as a giant 

 Kaikeriii Augusta Victoria. 



I'adre — This will alsft soon have a pla<*e on ac- 

 count of its growing capacity and its fine color, 

 t'<»piiered with carmine. 



,^iiss ('. A. van ItossemMonthly rose hvbrid; 

 at the moment an iinbe.itcn winner, biul long. 

 Iiointed. dark red. opi'us to an ideal shaped, vel- 

 vet.v dark crimson llower, mi diiun size, im- 

 nii'iisely free; pi'st proof; a ganlen rose par ex 

 cellelK-e. 



Tlicre riro many nioro varieties tliat I 

 did not liavo time to go over. Mr. 



Kord(>s .s.'iy.s tli;it Claudius PeriU't is a 

 rose tliat lie tliiiik.s could he forced. Cer- 

 tainly it is one of the tinest of all in 

 their fields and is in wonderful shape. 

 Jt impressed me more than ever,' as this 

 Wiis tlie second or third time I had seen 

 it in quantity. Each time it stood out 

 distinctl.y as the finest of all. I should 

 like to see it tried out as a forcer ,in 

 America and, if it can be forced success- 

 fullv, it will be one fine vellow rose.
