•AMI L. CRETTE. H.T. (C. Chambard, 1930; 

 introduced in U. S. by The Conard-Pyle Co.) 

 Rose-red. This is a distinct bedding Rose. The 

 bud is very attractive when its wavy petals reflex 

 and show bright rose-red, blending to rose-pink 

 with yellow at the base, the reverses being light 

 coral-rose and yellow. Semi-double blooms come 

 cupped and colored crimson in hot weather; re- 

 verses have an egg-shell finish. Generally, several 

 blooms appear at the end of each long, husky 

 stem. Abundant leathery foliage covers the 

 thorny canes up to the flowers themselves. 

 Growth is upright, branching, and vigorous. A 

 prolific variety, beautifully tinted. $3 each. 



•AMI QUINARD. H.T. Maroon. See descrip- 

 tion and color illustration on inside front cover. 



•DIANE DE BROGLIE. H.T. (C. Chambard, 

 1929; introduced and offered exclusively in U. S. 

 by The Conard-Pyle Co.) Geranium-pink. The 

 novel color of this Rose is its great attraction, and 

 it blooms so freely that it has a great future before 

 it as a tall-growing bedding variety. The long- 

 shaped buds are very beautiful, coral color, some- 

 times flaked with pink on a golden base. When 

 opening, the outside petals are geranium-pink 

 with the inside hydrangea-pink. The 

 flowers, which are borne on sturdy, up- 

 right stems, are large, double, moderately 

 fragrant, and very lasting when cut. 

 Foliage is large, shiny dark green, and 

 disease-resistant. This exquisitely colored 

 Rose was awarded the Grand Gold Medal 

 of the King at the International Contest 

 of New Roses, Pedralbes, Barcelona, 

 Spain, in 1929. $3 each. 



•DIRECTOR RUBIO. H.T. Cochi- 

 neal-pink. See illustration on front 

 cover and description on page 1. 



•E. G. HILL. H.T. (E. G. Hill Co., 

 1929.) Crimson-scarlet. The illustration 

 shows the perfect formation of this beau- 

 tiful red Rose, which makes one of the 

 largest and most perfect flowers in this 

 color for cutting. Each enchanting, 

 delightfully fragrant bloom comes singly 

 on an erect, heavy pedicel which is such an 

 important requisite in a cut-flower Rose. Abun- 

 dance of bloom throughout the entire growing 

 season is one of its grand characteristics and practi- 

 cally every Rose is without a flaw. The color is 

 crimson with a scarlet glow that shows little ten- 

 dency to fade or blue like many of the old-time 

 reds. Its foliage is large and, in our experience, it 

 has proved absolutely free from mildew and black- 

 spot. It had to be good to be worthy of being 

 named for Mr. E. G. Hill, the dean of American 

 Rose-hybridizers. $2 each. 



•FEDERICO CASAS. H.T. (P. Dot, 1929; in- 

 troduced in U. S. by The Conard-Pyle Co.) Cop- 

 pery orange. This beautiful Rose of warm color 

 comes, appropriately, from sunny Spain. We 

 have found in our test-garden that the very large, 

 semi-double, coppery orange blooms are pleasingly 

 fragrant. They come on erect pedicels on vigor- 

 ous-growing bushes, with abundant foliage, and 

 are very lasting when cut. In the autumn, fuller 

 blooms are produced. $3 each. 



•FRAU DR. SCHRICKER. H.Ben. (Fel- 

 berg-Lederc, 1927.) Carmine. The Bengal blood 

 in this Rose gives it greater hardiness than the 

 Hybrid Teas, so this recommends it to people in 

 the North who want a continuous-flowering Rose 

 that is hardy. The luminous, carmine-red flowers 

 are of medium size but well formed. They come 

 abundantly throughout the entire season. Fra- 

 grance also noteworthy. $3 each. 



E. G. Hill 



• JOANNA HILL. H.T. Yellow. This perfectly 

 formed Rose makes long, shapely buds of orange- 

 yellow that open to large, double flowers with an 

 orange center, paling to cream color at the edges 

 of the petals. $1.50 each. 



•JULIENPOTIN. Pernet. Golden yellow. This 

 Rose is known to many as "Golden Pernet." In 

 color it resembles the vivid buttercup-yellow 

 Ville de Paris, but the blooms are larger and have 

 twice as many petals. Long, sturdy pedicels and 

 a moderately vigorous bush. $1.50 each.
