MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 7 
THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Continued 
MRS. FRANK BRAY. (Alex. Dickson, 1912.) — This is 
claimed to be a great advance on the lovely and justly 
esteemed ‘“Mme, Ravary,” which until now has the best 
of its color amongst the decorative or garden varieties. 
“Mrs. Frank Bray” during its several years’ trial pre- 
ceding its introduction, has proven immensely superior to 
its prototype, not only in vigorous growth, but also in 
color, which is a deep rich, coppery-ecru, developing as 
the flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn, with a 
shading of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; two-year plants, 
60 cents. 
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (McGredy, 1913.)— 
Deep orange-red shaded with bronzy apricot-red; growth 
vigorous and very free flowering ; blooms large, of good 
habit and substance. Very fragrant. Silver medal N. 
R. S. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 3 
MRS. G. W. KERSHAW (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—Glowing 
deep glossy pink; large, very full flowers; of fine form 
and very sweet; very floriferous; a superb and distinct 
variety. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. GORDON SLOANE (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)—Pearly 
flesh-white which, as the flower develops, becomes a deli- 
cate coppery shrimp-pink in the center with creamy outer 
petals; reverse of petals electric copper on pure deep 
salmon-pink. The blooms are produced in marvelous pro- 
fusion; has a delicious fruit perfume. A truly charming 
Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. ‘ 
MRS. HERBERT STEVENS (McGredy, 1910.)—In this mar- 
yelous variety we have probably the most important ad- 
dition to this class yet raised. The bloom is as long, and 
even more pointed than any of the ““Maman Cochet” fam- 
ily; faultless in shape and form; a flower of exquisite 
grace and refinement; color, white with a distinct fawn 
and peach shading towards the center; a sterling novelty 
of distinct tea fragrance; unsurpassed. Awarded the gold 
medal of the National Rose Society of England in 1910. 
20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (McGredy, 1912.)—This is a Rose 
of very special merit. In all the range of colors among 
Hybrid Teas, it stands unique and quite distinct; bright 
carmine-crimson, without shading. A grand, bold, well-- 
built flower, perfect in shape and form; of the most 
modern type. Extra perpetual flowering. Everything 
about this Rose is pleasing and attractive; fragrant. 20 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. SAM ROSS (Hugh Dickson, 1912.)—Very large, full 
-flowers. Petals large, smooth, shell-shaped and slightly 
cupped, beautifully reflexed at the edges. A flower of the 
largest size and great refinement. A novel and uncom- 
mon shade of color. At once distinct and pleasing, but 
difficult to describe. It may be said to shade from pale 
straw color to light chamois-yellow, with a distinct flush of 
buff on the reverse of the petals. Very sweetly scented. 
Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society, 
Regent’s Park, London, July 7, 1911. 25 cents; two-year 
plants, 60 cents. 
MRS. 7. HILLAS (Pernet Docher, 1913:)—Flower large and 
full, of elongated cup shape. Color deep chrome-yeilow, 
very bright and effective...A fine Rose of hardy constitu- 
tion. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
MRS. WALTER E. MARTIN (Reymond, 1918.)—A most beau- 
tiful flower of clear bright pink, reverse of petals rosy or 
blush-white; large, double, cupped shape. A very fresh 
color. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
NATALIE BOTTNER (Bottner, 1911.)—Color, delicate cream- 
yellow; a flower of wonderful finish in the way of “‘Kaiserin ;’ 
very vigorous, but nevertheless most floriferous. It combines 
the prominent qualities of the two celebrated Roses “‘Druschki’”’ 
and ‘‘Kaiserin.’”? This novelty is much superior to them. 20 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912.)—This Rose was given an award of 
merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. Why 
they did not give it a gold medal is beyond our ken. Golden- 
yellow, flushed white. An enormously large, full flower of 
fine shape, making a magnificent effect in the garden. Growth 
vigorous. This isa great Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c. 
OLD GOLD (McGredy, 1913.)—Vivid reddish-orange with rich 
coppery-red and apricot shadings; a continuous free bloomer, 
mildew proof. Very sweetly fragrant. Gold medal N. R. S. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
OPHELIA (W. Paul, 1912.)—When Ophelia was sent out on its 
message of Rose beauty to entrance the world, there was 
placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to Wm. Paul & Son 
that will grow brighter as the flight of time goes on. Its 
lustre will never tarnish or grow dim. A more enduring 
memorial than anything else in the world can give. Think 
what joy and happiness, yea, peace, this Rose will produce 
as the ages go by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in 
their description, which we give verbatim: ‘‘Salmon-flesh, 
shaded with rose; large, and of perfect shape; of excellent 
habit, the flowers standing up well on long stiff stems and 
produced in great profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine 
decorative variety. Growth vigorous.” Certainly a glorious 
Rose. Be sure to have “Ophelia” fixed in your memory. 35 
certs; two-year plants, 75 cents. 
PRESIDENT VIGNET (Pernet Ducher, 1911.)—Flower large, 
full and globular; on long stem. Color, deep carmine-red, 
shaded bright poppy-red. A charming garden Rose. 20 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents, 
Sao 
Sunburst. 
OTHELLO (Paul & Son, 1912.)—Deep blackish-crimson, with 
pronounced maroon shades; distinctive coloring; large, well- 
formed flowers. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
PRIMEROSE (Soupert & Notting, 1913.)—Melon-yellow dur- 
ing spring and summer, deeper in autumn, with apricot shad- 
ings, a most distinet coloring; large, double, of perfect form, 
with long. pointed buds; deliciously fragrant. Magnificent 
bedding Rose. Unsurpassed. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60c. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (Soupert & 
Notting, 1910.)—Without doubt the most promising red fore- . 
ing Rose in sight, a grand Rose of vigorous growth and 
freedom of bloom unapproached in any other variety; buds 
perfectly formed, developing into a perfect open flower of 
ideal form; no deformed buds. The color is a clear and 
lively red without tone of purple that kills all the other red 
forcers. The color is most pleasing and under artificial light 
wonderfully brilliant. Growers will make no mistake in 
planting this Rose heavily. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60c. 
QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A uniquely beautiful 
Rose which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and ever 
holds them in its lovely sway. Its pure rich colorings, which 
are zoned deep, bright canary-yellow, on plenteous well- 
shaped petals which are crayoned with pure deep carmine. 
This extra touch of color gives a gloriously warm effect as 
the yellow and carmine do not commingle, the petals are ar- 
ranged in tip-tilted globular formation. It is most florif- 
erous and fragrantly primrose-tea perfumed. Awarded silver 
cup Festival of the Empire, Crystal Palace, London, and sil- 
ver gilt medal, N. R. S. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 
RECUERDO DE ANTONIO PELUFFO (Soupert & Notting, 
1910.) —What Soupert & Notting say about this fine Rose: 
“Madame Melanie Soupert crossed with Madame Constant 
Soupert, light diaphanous yellow with pink edged petals, ex- 
ceedingly large, very double and of irreproachable form; 
free flowering until late in autumn; opens freely; combines 
all the delightful and prominent qualities of the parents; a 
strong, hardy Rose with nice long buds. A classical Rose 
and a wonderful Rose in many ways.’’ We indorse every 
word of the above. Our individual opinion is that this Rose 
has unquestionably come to stay. It is in the way of 
“Madame de -Watteville,” except that it has pronouncedly 
yellow shades and tones. A grand, beautiful Rose. Be sure 
and try this, it will please you. 20 cents; two-year plants, 
50 cents. 
ROSE DU BARRI (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1911.)—-A very free and 
constant blooming garden Rose, of a beautiful pure ‘‘Rose du 
Barri’ color; exceedingly sweet scented. Extra fine. 20. 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.
