MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 7 
THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—cContinued. 
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL—(Montgomery, 1912.) This won- 
derful new American Rose has taken the country by storm. 
No other forcing Rose except “American Beauty” can com- 
pete with it when it comes to counting points. Stems three 
feet long, stiff and surmounted by grand rosy-pink blooms of 
the largest size and build. Keep your eyeon this Rose. 25 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. CORNWALLIS WEST—(Alex. Dickson, 1911.) A truly 
magnificent and absolutely distinct Rose of huge size and great 
substance, with exquisite imbricated globular form. The 
petals are very smooth, shell-shaped, leathery and entrancingly 
beautiful. The purity of the transparent delicate pink, 
which is between a shell and a rose-pink—on the purest white, 
gives it an attraction all its own that it is difficult to con- 
vey. Awarded the gold medal, N. R. S. 20cents; two=year 
plants, 40 cents. ; 
MRS. DAVID BAILIE—(Hugh Dickson, 1912.) Strong, free 
branching growth, making an ideal plant for massing in beds, 
fer which it is exceptionally well adapted. The flowers are 
beautifully Camellia formed, with petals nicely and evenly 
reflexed and high pointed center. The color is very pleasing 
and novel, being bright madder-carmine, with the delicate 
veinings of the petals penciled with a deeper shade. Very 
sweetly perfumed. A decided acawisitign among bedding Roses. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. EDWARD J. HOLLAND—(McGredy, 1910.) The color 
is a beautiful deep salmon-rose, shaded lighter towards the 
edges; perfect in both shape and form, with an unusually high 
pomted center. The petals are of great substance and beau- 
tifully arranged, forming a model flower of exquisite beauty, 
because of the marvelous freedom with which it produces its 
blooms throughout the whole season. Will prove one of the 
finest and most striking garden Roses yet produced. 20 cents; 
two-year plants, 40 cents. 
MRS. FRANK BRAY—(Alex. Dickson, 1912.) This is claimed 
te bea 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’’ dur- 
ing its several years’ trial preceding 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, develop- 
ing as the flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn, with 
a shading of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 
cents. 
MRS. FRED STRAKER—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) It would be 
difficult, if not impossible, to either speak or write in too eulogis- 
tic terms of ‘this unique creation. The blooms are produced 
in most extraordinary profusion throughout the entire season. 
The color in the young flower is orange-crimson. As the bloom 
develops it becomes silvery-fawn on front of petals, and delicate 
erange-pink on back; buds long, and with a perfectly spiral 
finish. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 
MRS. GEORGE PRESTON—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) A most 
beautiful and thoroughly distinct Rose, flowering in the great- 
est profusion. The blooms are very large, full and of globu- 
lar form; the color is a very delicate warm silvery rose-pink, a 
truly delightful color; sometimes in autumn it is lighted up with 
delicate orange. Very fragrant. 20 cents; two-year plants, 
40 cents. 
MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER—(Lowe & Shawyer, 1911.) This 
variety is a wonder for freedom of growth and bloom. No 
other forcing Rose can touch it on these two points. It throws 
up strong breaks in rapid succession, and a bench soon shows 
dense growth, every shoot tipped with a bud. The color is 
bright peach-pink and is carried on three and four-foot stems. 
This Rose has won awards every place shown, and in the past 
two years it has been exhibited in practically all the shows, 
especially in the East and abroad. A fine garden Rose. 25 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. é 
MRS. HERBERT HAWKSWORTH—(Alex. Dickson, 1912.) 
A glorious Rose of generous size and almost globular form. 
with very smooth, shell-shaped, massive petals, which are 
very beautifully arranged, perfecting a flower of the highest 
standard. The growth is vigorous and marvelously free flow- 
ering. The-color is deeply zoned ecru on milk-white, which, 
as the blooms expand, become silky, creamy-white; delicious 
tea-rose perfume. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. HERBERT STEVENS—(McGredy, 1910.) In this mar- 
velous variety we have probably the most important addi- 
tion to this class yet raised. The bloom is as long, and even 
more pointed than any of the ‘Maman Cochet”’ family; fault- 
less in shape and form; a flower of exquisite grace and refine- 
ment; color, white with 1 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, 40 
cents. 
MRS. JOSEPH H. WELCH—(McGredy, 1911.) The color of 
this wonderful Rose is a rich, brilliant rose-pink. So distinct 
and rich a color has not yet been attained in any Rose. When 
known, we are certain it will be placed right at the top of its 
class. It is undoubtedly the largest Rose in cultivation, and 
the most perfect type of Rose the world has yet seen. Its rich, 
brilliant color, perfect shape and gigantic size will compel at- 
tention in any Rose garden. Awarded the gold medal of Na- 
tional Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 
{ 
MRS. MAYNARD SINTON—(McGredy, 1910.) In this grand 
variety we have the masterpiece of perfection in a Rose. In 
size, we have the largest; in shape it is perfect, and in form, 
the most beautiful of all Roses. The color is silvery-white, 
with porcelain shading, suffused pink towards the edges. In 
color quite the most distinct among Roses. A truly glorious 
variety. This Rose, along with “Mildred Grant,” represents 
a distinct type among Hybrid Tea Roses. Awarded the gold 
medal of the National Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 40 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-crim- 
son, without shading. A grand, bold, well-built flower, per- 
fect in shape and form; of the most modern type. Extra per- 
petual flowering. Everything about this Rose is pleasing and 
attractive. Fragrant. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS. RICHARD DRAPER—(Hugh Dickson, 1911.) A mag- 
nificent Rose; of robust branching growth. Flowers very large 
and full. Color a glossy, satiny-pink on the outside of the 
petals; inside of the petals silvery-flesh. A glorious Rose for 
the garden, being always covered with flowers. Awarded the 
gold medal, N. R.S. 25 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 uncommon 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 7th, 1911. 25 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
MRS.WALTER EASLEA—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) A distinct 
and charming Rose; of imbricated form and robust, vigorous 
and erect growth. The blooms are large, full and are most 
freely produced. The color is a glowing crimson-carmine, which 
as the flower expands, deepens to intense crimson-orange, the 
back of the petals, being an intense satiny-crimson, lends addi- 
tional charm to this lovely variety. It is deliciously perfumed. 
20 cents; two-year plants, 40 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. 
This is an absolutely first-class Rose. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 40 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. An enor- 
mously large, full flower, of fine shape, making a magnificent 
effect in the garden. Growth vigorous. This is a great Rose. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
POLLAERT ROSE—(Pollaert, 1910) This is the much heralded 
improved La France. The claims made for it are that it is a 
stronger grower, and that the fragrance is more pronounced. 
We have tried this Rose in the fieli and we find it identical 
with La France, except it is a stronger grower and the flowers 
are sweeter. These two quaiities stamp it as a Rose of the first 
water. 20 cents; two-year plants 40 cents. 
PRESIDENT TAFT—(McCullough, 1908.) This Rose was 
raised in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say 
tight here, while some of you may not admire the President 
himself, you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. 
It is without question the most remarkable of all pink Roses. 
It has a shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other 
Rose. It is a fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, 
fragrant, and in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank 
Good, who is probably familiar with more Roses than any man 
in America, says: “Talk all you want to about the Rose Presi- 
dent Taft, and then you will not say enough.’”’ Do not con- 
found this Rose with Leuchtfeuer, which some have attempted 
to rename President Taft. 25 cents; two-year plants, 
50 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: 25 cents; 
two-year plants, 50 cents. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG—(Soupert 
& Notting, 1910.) Erect, vigorous growth; buds and flowers of 
large and perfect form, being long and pointed; massive petals. 
Color, brilliant fiery scarlet. We think well of this Rose, and 
\it is bound to have a future. 20 cents; two-year plants, 
40 cents. 
RADIANCE—(Cook, 1909.) A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying 
beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The 
form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms 
constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 
20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.
