THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES 
We here offer what is good in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. 
They are the best that England, France, Luxemborg, Germany, 
Ireland, Italy, Holland and America can produce. 
you must try these New Roses. 
ALEXANDER HILL 
GRAY (Alex. Dick- 
son, 1911.)—The re- 
spect of all Rose 
lovers warrants the 
issuing of a cham- 
pion Rose, and a 
Tea at that, to pay 
due homage to one 
of the world’s great- 
est Tea Rose grow- 
ers. It is wonder- 
fully floriferous, ev- 
ery shoot being 
crowned with a 
flower bud, which 
develops into a 
bloom of very large 
size, great substance 
and perfect forma- 
tion, with high 
pointed center from 
which the _ petals 
gracefully reflex. 
The best and largest 
pure yellow Tea 
Rose yet introduced. 
Its color is a solid 
deep throughout. 
“Marechal Niel’’- 
like lemon-yellow ; 
strongly tea scented. 
Gold medal N. R. S. 
20 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents. 
AVIATEUR MICHEL 
MAHIEU-— (Soupert 
& Notting, 1913.)— 
Coral-red with vivid 
center, large, of 
perfect form; very 
fragrant; growth 
vigorous, very florif- 
erous. An _ invalu- 
able Rose for all 
purposes. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
BRITISH QUEEN (McGredy, 1912.)—We quote the introduc- 
er’s description: ‘‘Experts who have seen British Queen 
growing, agree that it is the finest white Rose in existence, 
surpassing in beauty and elegance of form all other white 
varieties. The freedom with which it blooms is remarkable. 
It is in flower from June until winter, and on well cultivated 
plants the blooms are a model of perfection. The type of 
flower is between White Maman Cochet and Frau Karl 
Druschki, with Tea Rose form and refinement; frequently in 
the bud state it shows a slight flush; this disappears as the 
flower opens into purest whiteness. It is a good grower and 
sweetly scented. Awarded a gold medal by the National 
Rose Society of England. Those who have had the pleasure 
to see this magnificent Rose blooming at Portadown will 
never forget the sight. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
CHANOINE BINET DE ROYS (Perdriolle, 1913.) — Brilliant 
crimson, shaded velvety crimson. Hardy and _ floriferous; 
one of the very best of this shade. Congratulations of the 
jury at Lyons. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEAT (Pernet Ducher, 1908.) — 
Words are inadequate to describe, and pigments are not 
made which could reproduce the wonderful coloring and 
texture of this truly remarkable Rose. You have all been 
looking for the black Rose, and here it is. The most won- 
derful color and texture even seen in a Rose; looks as if 
cut out of heavy velvet with a color shading from deepest 
velvety maroon-red to blackish-crimson. We are sure it 
will become one of the most popular of garden Roses, quite 
in a class by itself, blooming continuously in crops closely 
following one another. It is of fine shape, good size and the 
richest colored of all Roses, being fifty per cent. darker than 
Prince Camille de Rohan and Jubilee; quite fragrant. With 
us the foliage of this Rose is absolutely resistant to black 
spot and mildew; in a class by itself for this reason alone. 
Keep your eye on this Rose, as it is a wonder; named after 
a vintage of famous old French wine. 25 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents. 
CHRISSIE MACKELLAR (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A gorgeously 
beautiful Rose, combining in charming combination the fol- 
lowing tones, tints and colors: Crimson-carmine, deep rich 
ochrey-madder, becoming a delicate but bright orangey-pink 
as the flower develops. It is one of the most delightfully 
color-toned Roses we have had the pleasure of seeing. It is 
strongly and deliciously pure primrose-tea scented. 25 cents: 
two-year plants, 50 cents. 
Double White Killarney. 
To have what is good 
COLLEEN (McGredy, 
1914.) — Brilliant 
rose, shaded _ rose- 
pink with deeper 
rose-crimson veneer- 
ing and _ distinct 
ereamy - yellow 
ground, never fad- 
ing until the petals 
drop. The flower is 
quite full with enor- 
mous petals and 
high pointed center, 
forming the noblest 
and most remark- 
able flower among 
Roses. Very free 
blooming and 
smooth. Gold medak 
Rose of the National 
Rose Society of Eng- 
land 1913, 35 cents; 
two-year plants, 75 
cents. 
COLONEL GRUAU 
(Perdriolle, 1912.)— 
Vivid red in the 
center, outer petals 
shaded a_ glorious 
Bridesmaid - pink; 
large flowers pro- 
duced in profusion. 
Certainly a glorious 
Rose. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents. 
COUNTESS OF 
S H AF TESBURY 
(Hugh Dickson, 
1911.)—This_ splen- 
did Rose is the most 
perfect type _ of 
Hybrid Tea. Its large 
and perfectly formed 
flowers are produced 
in endless profusion. 
In color it is bright silvery-carmine, flushed pale shell-pink 
at the edges of the petals, giving a delightful picotee effect ; 
the color at the base of the petals deepens with age to light 
cochineal-carmine. Fine for massing in beds. Awarded the 
gold medal by the National Rose Society. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents. 
CRIMSON QUEEN—A very strong upright grower, flower large 
and full. Color a rich bright velvety crimson. A grand 
garden Rose as it is always in bloom. 25 cents; two-year 
plants, 60 cents.

rose tints; flowers large, globular and double, opening into an

yellow. Double, full flowers and continuous bloomer. 20 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY—(Scott, 1910.) — The Killarney 
that will supersede the Killarney now grown. We have con- 
fidence in recommending this variety as a distinct improve- 
ment on the normal type, as it possesses from ten to twelve 
more petals than its parent. Awarded certificate of merit by 
the American Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c. 
DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY—(Budlong, 1912.)—A_ pure 
white sport from White Killarney; has a much larger bud,

flesh overlaid with yellow. A grand Rose-viewed from any 
standpoint. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60. cents. 
EARL OF GOSFORD (McGredy, 1912.)—Color dark crimson,

climates ; very fragrant and destined to become a very pop- 
ular Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
EDITH PART (McGredy, 1913.)—Rich red with a suffusion of
