MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT 



THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES— Continued 



KING OF SI AM (Brauer. 1913.)— Bright red of fine form and of exquisite fragrance 

 Carried on long stiff stems, growth very vigorous : hardy ; very free and perpetual 

 flowering. Fine all around Rose; none better. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts. 

 LADY DE BATH (Benj. Cant. 1911.)— A grand garden Rose. Color, creamy-white, 

 with golden-yellow markings in the center petals; extra fine. 20 cts.; two-year 

 plants, 50 cts. 

 LADY DOWNE (W. Paul, 1911.)— A splendid bedding Rose, with large handsome 

 flowers on stout stems. For a Rose the color is quite peculiar, being a beautiful 

 shade of buff. When fully open the center is deep yellow, and it matures finely 

 into a pleasing light yellow shade. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 LADY DUNLEATH (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)— A Rose with long pointed chaste petals, 

 an intermingling of deep ivory, creamy-white, with egg-yolk yellow zoned petals 

 of extreme beauty. Intense but delicately and deliciously Persian tea fragrance. 

 Especially valuable for garden decoration, being marvelously free and continuous 

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

 LADY HILLINGDON (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.)— At the Detroit Rose show in Janu- 

 ary. 1912, this was awarded the sweepstakes over all yellow Roses. It has long 

 willowy stems that are in no sense weak, as the buds are held upright ; has a long 

 slender pointed bud of brilliant deep golden-yellow, and a striking peculiarity of 

 this Rose was that each day of the show this golden-yellow color became deeper 

 yellow and more intense, unlike all other yellow Roses with which we are familiar, 

 as invariably the tendency after being cut is to get lighter in color. This Rose at 

 no stage of its development shows this lighter color as does Sunburst and other of 

 the yellow Roses, but is always an even, deep intense golden-yellow; forces well. 

 Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts, 

 LADY KATHERINE ROSE (Bide, 1911.)— A direct cross between "Antoine Rivoire"' 

 and "La Fraicheur." The color of this Rose is of the same delicate pink as 

 "La Fraicheur," with the same unique markings in the petals characteristic of 

 this beautiful Rose, retaining the delicious scent. This variety was growing in the 

 midst of known varieties during the summer, and several leading Rose growers 

 who saw it blooming were quick to pick it out. 20 cts. ; two-year plants. 50 cts. 

 MADAME LUCIEN BALTET (Fernet Ducher. 1911.)— Rosy -flesh, shaded yellow. 

 Petals bordered carmine, large, full and globular. A very free blooming garden 

 Rose. Distinct and useful. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 MADAME MAURICE RAFIN (Bernaix, 1913.)— Center of flower bright carmine with 

 beautiful ponceau-red reflexes, outer petals clear rose. Very large and carried on 

 long, stiff stems. Growth vigorous. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts. 

 iMADAME P. EULER (Guillot, 1908.) — We place this Rose among the newer varieties 

 so that particular attention may be called to it. Out in California and the Pacific 

 Coast this Rose is so well thought of that it has been rechristened "Prima Donna.'" 

 The color is a lovely shade of vermilion-pink, changing to silvery-pink; petals 

 undulated or waved on the edges; in a class b.v itself. We have every confidence 

 in it as a sterling variety with an individuality that was bound to command atten- 

 tion, and time is proving same not unfounded. Its size, fragrance, wonderful lasting 

 qualities, freedom of growth and bloom with a distinctiveness from any other Rose 

 could not help but win a commanding place. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 MADAME RAVARY (Fernet Ducher, 1889.)— Not a new Rose, but not largely dis- 

 seminated in this country. It is probable that more of this yellow Rose is planted 

 in England. Ireland and the Continent than all other yellows combined. In growth 

 and habit it is much like Madame Caroline Testout. and will always command a 

 good price, being difficult to propagate. Long pointed buds of beautiful golden - 

 yellow, opening to large, full orange-yellow flowers; very free flowering. Superb. 

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

 MADEMOISELLE DE VALLE DE QUINTELLA (Schwartz, 191.3.)— A very large and 

 full flower of magenta -red. reverse of petals rosy-white striped carmine, base of 

 petals golden-yellow. Growth very vigorous. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts. 

 MADISON (Brandt Hentz, 1912.)— This is the "money maker" among the cut flower 

 Roses, and is a greatly improved Bride, and when we say improvement, we mean a 

 genuine improvement. The best feature of Madison is that the foliage does not 

 mildew. All know how badly the Bride mildews. Well. Madison is mildew- proof. 

 Then after being planted and well established. Madison will cut as many flowers as 

 Killarney, cutting steady each month in the year. Madison is a grand addition to 

 our list of forcing Roses. Remember, that "Madison" is the money maker. 20 cts.; 

 two-year plants, 50 cts. 

 LADY MARY WARD (McGredv, 1913.)— Rich orange, shaded deeper apricot-orange, 

 with a decided metallic flush. Very free flowering, with fine habit of growth. 

 Sweetly perfumed, attractive and decorative. Gold medal N. R. S. 25 cts.; two- 

 year plants, 60 cts.
