THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES— Continued. 



-yea 



GOLDEN EMBLEM (H. T.) — It is so perpetual 

 flowering that as a garden and bedding Rose 

 it is without a rival. At its best it surpasses 

 Marechal Niel in shape and formation, and 

 with its wonderful coloring is a most wonder- 

 ful Rose. The coloring is yellow cadmium 

 toning to sunflower-yellow. Altogether the 

 most striking as well as the most remarkable 

 variety among modern Roses. Awarded the 

 gold medal of the National Rose Society of 

 England, also the American Rose Society's 

 medal at Philadelphia, April, 1917, for the best 

 Rose not yet in commerce. 50 cents. 



GOLDEN MEYER (H. T.) — A most charming 

 Rose of a deep golden-yellow. A fine garden 

 Rose and is also valuable as a cut flower. Very 

 free. 35 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



GORGEOUS (H. T.) — Flowers large and full 

 quisitely formed and produced in endle 

 fusion. Deep orange-yellow and heavily 

 with reddish copper, the most charmii 

 gorgeous coloring which has yet been 

 duced. The most striking Rose in existe 

 Gold medal, N. R. S. 35 cents; two 

 plants, 50 cents. 



HADLEY (H. T.) — In color 'it is a deep 

 velvety crimson, retaining its bril- 

 liancy at all seasons of the year. The 

 variety is double and buds are well 

 formed. The fragrance is excelled 

 only by American Beauty. It is a 

 strong, rapid grower, and the flowers 

 are borne on long, stiff stems. It has 

 proven itself under thorough trial to 

 be an all-the-year-round forcing va- 

 riety. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 

 cents. 



HARRY KIRK (T.) — A splendid Rose, 

 of most robust growth, with free- 

 branching habit, flowering freely and 

 continuously; the blooms are large, 

 ■with large, smooth petals of great 

 substance; the form is perfect, the 

 buds long and elegant. Color, deep sulphur- 

 yellow, passing to a lighter shade at the edges 

 of the petals. Awarded a gold medal by the 

 National Rose Society of England. This Rose 

 is difficult to propagate, and will always, for 

 this reason, remain high in price, although 

 when once rooted and established, is a good 

 grower. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 



HELEN TAPT (H. T.) — A rich cerise-pink. 

 Flower very large. A free bloomer and will 

 become as famous as a bedding Rose as is the 

 variety President Taft. Growth very strong. 

 Keep your eye on this variety. 20 cents; two- 

 year plants, 40 cents. 



HERZOG JOHANN ALBRECHT (H. T.) — Cop- 

 pery-orange on a yellow ground, outer petals 

 changing to clear salmon-rose; large, very full, 

 of fine form, fragrant. Altogether a desirable 

 Rose. 



H. F. EILERS — Outer petals carmine-rose; center 

 carmine and slate-blue-red. Buds very long 

 and pointed; flowers large and full with high 

 center. 



H. V. MACHIN (H. T.)— A dazzling Rose of gigantic 

 size. Its intensely black grained scarlet-crimson 

 blooms we consider unique amongst all Roses. 

 Awarded gold medal, N. R. S., and several other 

 medals for best bloom. 25c; two-year plants, 50c. 



HOOSIER BEAUTY (H. T.) — New red Rose. Tex- 

 ture like velvet, glowing crimson-scarlet, with 

 darker shadings. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cts. 



IMOGEN (H. T.) — Orange-yellow in center, shading 

 towards the edge of petals to pale yellow and 

 creamy-white. A great acquisition to Roses of 

 its color. 35 cents; two year plants, 60 cents. 



JOSEPHINE (H. T.) — Rosy-flesh, base of petals sal- 

 mon-yellow, large and full, of fine shape; fine 

 both for exhibition and decorative purposes. 25 

 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT — The introducers are to 

 be congratulated sixteen years after the advent 

 of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty 

 which is undoubtedly the best of the Killarney 

 type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of 

 growth and the same freedom of bloom as its 

 parent, while the flower is more double. The 

 color is very brilliant pink and varies like Kil- 

 larney. In the garden in bright weather is clear 

 pink, and in dull weather almost a crimson. Ex- 

 tra. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



Francis Scott Key. (See description on page 3.) 



LADY BOYVATER (H. T.) — Creamy-white suffused 

 pale apricot ; blooms very large, of conical form, 

 and carried erect. Extra fine. 50 cents; two- 

 year plants, $1.00. 



LADY GREENALL (H. T.) — Intense saffron-orange, 

 heavily zoned and overspread on deep creamy- 

 white, reflex of petals faintly suffused delicate 

 shell-pink; a truly magnificent Rose. 20 cents; 

 two-year plants, 50 cents. 



LADY PLYMOUTH (Tea) — The color is a pearly, 

 delicate but deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed, 

 giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult to 

 describe. Awarded gold medal National Rose 

 Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal 

 Palace Show, London. 35 cents; two-year plants, 

 60 cents. 



LOS ANGELES (H. T.) — Los Angeles is, by all odds, 

 one of the finest Roses ever introduced. The 

 growth is very vigorous, and produces a contin- 

 uous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a 

 luminous flame-pink toned with coral and shaded 

 with translucent gold at the base of the petals. 

 In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity the 

 finest Marechal Niel. The buds are long' and 

 pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth 

 proportions, while the beauty of form and ever 

 increasing wealth of color is maintained from 

 the incipient bud until the last petal drops. 35 

 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



LITCIEN CHAURE (H. T.) — Flesh illuminated with 

 clear rosy-cream; very large, of regular form: 

 free flowering. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 

 cents.
