The CreamliOf the New Roses 



We here offer what Is grood in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. 



ALEXANDER HILL, GRAY (Alex. 

 Dickson, 1911.) — The respect of 

 all Rose lovers warrants the Is- 

 suing of a champion Rose, and a 

 Tea at that, to pay due homage 

 to one of the world's greatest 

 Tea Rose growers. It ij wonder- 

 fully floriferous, every shoot be- 

 ing crowned with a flower bud. 

 which develops into a bloom of 

 very large size, great substance 

 and perfect formation, 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 

 Neil"-like lemon-yellow; strong- 

 ly tea scented. Gold medal N. R. 

 S. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 

 cts. 



AVIATEUR MICHEL MAHIEU 



(Soupert & Notting, 1913.)— Cor- 

 al-red with vivid center, large, of 

 perfect form; very fragrant: 

 growth vigorous, very florifer- 

 ous. An invaluable Rose for all 

 purposes. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 60 cts. 

 BRITISH QUEEN (McGredy, 1912.)— We quote the introducer'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. 

 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 CHANOINE BINET DE ROYS (Perdriolle, 1913.)— Brilliant crimson, shaded velvety 

 crimson. Hardy and floriferous; one of the very best of this shade. 25 cts.; two- 

 year plants, 60 cts. 

 CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEAT (Pernet Ducher, 1908.)— You have all been looking 

 for the black Rose, and here it is. The most wonderful 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. 25 cts.; two-year 

 plants, 50 cts. 

 CHRISSIE iMACKELLAR (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)— A gorgeously beautiful Rose, com- 

 bining in charming combination the following 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 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 COLLEEN (McGredy, 1914.) — Brilliant rose, shaded rose-pink with deeper rose- 

 crimson veneering and distinct creamy-yellow ground, never fading until the petals 

 drop. The flower is quite full with enormous petals and high pointed center, 

 forming the noblest and most remarkable flower among Roses. Very free blooming 

 and smooth. Gold medal Rose of the National Rose Society of England 1913. 35 cts.; 

 two-year plants, 75 cts.
