DAME EDITH HELEN (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1926)—Awarded 
Gold Medals by the National Rose Society of England and at 
New York and Philadelphia Flower Shows. Wonderful new 
pink variety. The plant possesses a strong, vigorous constitu- 
tion, the flowers are produced singly on well-foliaged strong 
canes throughout the season, these are of immense size, com- 
posed of very substantial broad petals which curl back prettily 
forming a wonderful long pointed bud which develops into a 
full double flower, and is absolutely perfect in every stage of 
development. The color is a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri 
Pink and is delightfully and strongly sweet scented. One 
year only, 60c each. 
FRANK READER (Verschuren & Sons, 1927)—A large massive 
flower with high-pointed center with nicely reflexing petals of 
great substance, the long buds in first developing are a light, 
lemon-yellow while the flowers in their half-expanded form 
Teveal a heart of golden apricot; it has a delicious rose-apple 
scent. One year only, 60 cents each. 
MONSIEUR JULIEN POTIN—This is M. Pernet’s latest 
achievement which will probably become better known as 
“The Golden Pernet.” It is unqtiestionably the most gorgeous 
and brilliant yellow Rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow 
that grows richer and deeper as the flowers mature. The buds 
ate long and shapely, and develop into large, full flowers of 
beautiful form, delightfully sweet-scented. Habit of growth 
upright with ample attractive, glossy, bronzy-green foliage, 
very free flowering. One year plants, 75 cents each. 
LADY MARGARET STEWART (1927)—Another marvelous 
introduction of Alexander Dickson & Sons awarded the Gold 
Medal of the National Rose Society of England at the 1926 
Spring Show. A Rose of unique and distinct color, the flowers 
in the young stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined 
and splashed with orange-scarlet with the reverse of the petals 
deeply suffused with carmine, as the flowers develop these 
colors intermingle forming a most beautiful cadmium orange 
effect. The bud is long and pointed, opening to a full double 
flower, of most pleasing decorative form of delightfully sweet 
scent. One year plants, 60 cents each. 
ROSE HILL (H. T.)—A brilliant sport of Columbia, with strong, 
upright, thornless stems, making it superb for cutting. The 
color is more brilliant pink than the parent Rose, the full open 
bloom is more imbricated, and the buds do not ‘‘bullnose” in 
unfavorable weather. Remarkable for its freedom of bloom. 
One year, 35 cents; two year, 65 cents. 
MRS. A. R. BARRACLOUGH (McGredy & Son, 1927)—Un- 
questionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out and winner 
of a Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. 
In this new variety we have a most distinct and valuable addi- 
tion of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an even 
tone passing to yellow at the base of the petals. The color 
does not fade as the flower ages, but appears to become brighter. — 
The bud is long and perfect and develops into a full double 
flower of great size and substance; very fragrant. One year, 
plants, 60 cents each. 
MRS. J. C. AINSWORTH (Clarke Bros.)—This is a fine grower, 
with stout thornless canes coming freely from the base of the 
plant. Color beautiful peach-pink with silvery suffusions, a 
shade which makes many other pink roses look commonplace. 
Remarkable for its lasting qualities either cut oron 
the bush. One year plants, 60 cents each.
