R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. ROSES 



Killarney Queen Rose 



SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 



Mme. Melanie Soupert. (Pernet-Ducher, 1905.) A delicately 

 colored and exquisitely formed Rose of giant size and great 

 substance, pale salmon-yellow, tinted with pink and cream. 

 This is one of the most beautiful Roses grown. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) A dainty little 

 Rose of soft fawn-yellow, occasionally paling to faint pinkish 

 cream, usually very double but varies somewhat. The plant 

 is dwarf, bushy, and especially valuable for edging beds of 

 taller Roses. 



Mrs. Ambrose Ricardo. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) A favorite 

 variety with Rose connoisseurs because of its giant golden 

 cream blooms of unusual incurved form which last well and 

 improve after cutting. 



Mrs. A. R. Waddell. (Pernet-Ducher, 1908.) A vigorous, 

 branching plant producing great quantities of large, semi- 

 double copper-pink and yellow flowers in sprays and clusters. 



Mrs. Charles Lamplough. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) A 

 vigorous bush, producing large, full, fragrant flowers of a 

 refined shade of soft lemon-yellow. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles. (ChapHn Bros., 1921.) The large, dark 

 pink flowers are freely borne on good stems. One of the leading 

 pink Roses. SI. 25 each. 



Mrs. Henry Morse. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) The dwarf, 

 branching bushes produce freely their finely formed flowers of 

 bright pink with a suffusion of silvery pink. $1.25 each. 



Mrs. Lovell Swisher. (Howard & Smith, 1926.) A choice, new 

 variety with large, full flowers borne on strong stems. The 

 color is a pleasing shade of soft flesh-pink. $1.25 each. 



Mrs. S. K. Rindge. (Howard & Smith, 1919.) Semi-double 

 blooms of pure sunflower-yellow, developing pink edges and 

 shadings as the flowers open and mature. A very free-flowering 

 and satisfactory Rose when it is happy. 



Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) 

 Large, peony-like flowers of light pink and rose, produced 

 very freely on the tips of stout branching canes. One of the 

 most satisfactory Roses for garden decoration, enduring for 

 many years. 



Mrs. Wemyss Quin. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Excellent 

 buds and well-shaped blooms of strong lemon-j'ellow, keeping 

 their color until the petals drop. A wiry, branching bush 

 usually quite healthy. An especially fine Rose. 



Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the most popular 

 Roses ever grown, having pearly white blooms of inexpres- 

 sibly lovely form. In cool weather it is tinted with gold 

 »nd pink. 



Padre. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Handsome buds and large, 

 semi-double blooms of flashy, reddish copper, paling a httle 

 with age to glowing copper-orange. The plants are tall and 

 slender and should be grown close together in considerable 

 quantities to make a stunning show. $1.25 each. 



Patience. (S. McGredy & Son,^ 1927.) The splendid, pointed 

 buds open charmingly to fully double, fragrant blooms of 

 orange-scarlet, suffused rich pink. $2.00 each. 



Pharisaer. (Hinner, 1903.) A charming old variety of rather 

 loose form with delicately fluted and ruffled petals varying 

 from blush-white to pale rose-pink, and is one of the most per- 

 sistent and liberal bloomers we know. 



Radiance. (John Cook, 1908.) It seems scarcely necessary to 

 describe this most popular Rose in America. The blooms are 

 large, silvery pink and deep rose, fragrant, and borne with ex- 

 ceptional freedom on a strong plant. Perhaps the easiest varie- 

 ty to grow of those which produce blooms of good cutting 

 quahty. 



Rapture. (Traendly & Schenck, 1926.) An elegant sport of 

 Mme. Butterfly with more vigorous habit and flowers of a 

 deeper tone of pink. 



Red Radiance. (A. N. Pierson, 1916.) A Hght crimson sport of 

 Radiance, which it resembles in all particulars, and many con- 

 sider it superior to that variety in blooming qualities. This 

 variety. Radiance, and Mme. Butterfly are the backbone of 

 many Rose-gardens. 



Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Golden yel- 

 low buds and blooms of the most glorious form, tinted on the 

 outside of the petals with reddish copper and bronze. An ex- 

 ceptionally fine variety in the autumn and early in the season 

 and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Roses in 

 America. $1.50 each. 



Richmond. (E. G. Hill, 1905.) A glowing scarlet-crimson Rose 

 of the same general type as Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, and 

 General MacArthur. It was a popular florists' Rose years 

 ago, and it is still grown in the garden for its cutting 

 quaUties. 



Rose Marie. (F. Dorner & Sons Co., 1918.) A fine bedding 

 Rose of pleasing habit, bearing big, double blooms of excellent 

 form and rich glowing pink, usually edged a trifle fighter. The 

 flowers are delightfully fragrant and last well when cut. 



Roselandia. (W. Stevens, 1924.) A glorified sport of Golden 

 Ophelia which it resembles m form of bloom. The color is 

 rich saffron-yellow, shaded apricot at the centre, sometimes 

 tinted red on outside of petals. $1.25 each. 



Sensation. (J. H. Hill, 1922.) A giant, rich, blackish crimson 

 Rose originally intended for the florists' trade, but it has done 

 so well in the garden that it is being recommended by informed 

 Rose-growers as one of the best recent red varieties. The flow- 

 ers are massive and borne on good stems for cutting. 



Shot Silk. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1924.) Large blooms of 

 cerise-pink, overlaid with golden yellow and orange tints. A 

 Rose of very striking color and gorgeous decorative effect. The 

 plant is dwarf, robust, and has glossy, foliage. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) Light 

 lemon-yellow buds of exceptional form sometimes paling to 

 white at the edges and deepening to gold in the centre. A very 

 free-flowering, true yellow variety, which fikes full sunshine 

 and warm, dry weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Giant 

 reddish pink buds and blooms of globular form with a pointed 

 centre and a touch of orange at the base of the petals. Re- 

 markable for its great size and comparative freedom of bloom. 

 The plants are dwarf and stocky. 



Ville de Paris. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) The vigorous plant 

 produces profusely very double, bright yeUow flowers resem- 

 bling Radiance in form. $1.50 each. 



William F. Dreer. (Howard & Smith, 1920.) Tvluch on the 

 order of the more famous Los Angeles, especially in shape. It 

 is more yellow, and its tints of gold and pink are deficate and 

 charming. A somewhat erratic plant, seeming to enjoy half 

 shade where the sun is very strong, and worth considerable 

 attention for the extreme deUcacy of its bloom. 



Willowmere. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Long-pointed buds and 

 blooms of glowing pink, suffused with yellow at the base of the 

 petals. Erect, vigorous growth. One of the showiest and most 

 prolific bedding Roses which produces high-quafity blooms.
