‘The Front Cover Rose 
*Syracuse. 17. 
Charles Mallerin, France, 1930. Introduced in the U. S. Fall, 1930, by The Conard-Pyle Co. 
YRACUSE ROSE has been named im honor of the city of Syracuse, N. Y., 
S which city has become increasingly beautiful because of the quantities of 
Roses grown in gardens there, largely as a result of the continued interest and 
education of the Syracuse Rose Society and citizens who desire to make Syracuse 
“The Rose City of the Empire State.” In fact, this Rose society, the largest of its 
kmd in the United States, sponsored and subscribed to the municipal Rose garden, 
thus providing an object-lesson, in a thoroughly practical way, to show that Rose- 
growing, even in northern New York, is possible for everyone. 
In the tight bud, this new Syracuse Rose has the grace of Mrs. Aaron Ward but 
more waving petals and a large, firm cone in the center. As a semi-open bloom, it 
is remarkable (see the two lower blooms on the front cover). The fully opened 
flower is medium to large in size and very double; even the heart of the bloom is 
; chockfull of petals. The outer petals recurve and give the bloom the appearance of a 
great scarlet-crimson ball. Because of the heavy petalage, the blooms last unusually 
long and the brilliant color holds equally well. There is a mild fragrance. Those 
who know Hadley, a grandparent of Syracuse, will find its good qualities retained 
in this Star novelty. 
Each crimson bloom is borne singly on a long, stiff stem, making it fine for 
cutting. In growth, it is upright, tall, and very vigorous, with perfect winter hardi- 
ness. This Rose will do unusually well m warm sections of the country, too. The 
foliage is abundant, large, and healthy and the plants active and prolific. 
This is a husky Rose and an appropriate symbol for a lively, up-and-doing city.

*Ville de Paris. (Pernet.) 
In a bed of various Hybrid Teas, the dandelion- 
yellow buds of Ville de Paris stand above the others, 
a vivid symbol of the City of Paris which honored 
the Rose by bestowing its name upon it in 1925, 
over 77 competitors from eleven countries, when it 
won at the same time the Bagatelle Gold Medal. 
The bud is generally of the pointed form with 
broad base; the open bloom is of medium petalage, 
fairly large and fragrant; the center does not turn 
black. It does not give a profusion of blooms at any 
one time followed by a long rest, but is a steady 
doer throughout the season. Stands rain and ex- 
treme heat better than most other yellow Roses, 
and the foliage is notably.-resistant to diseases.

Bedding and cut-flower variety. The bud is long- 
pointed, of a very artistic form, deep im color, ap- 
proaching maroon. The flower opens large, semi- 
double, with immense petals of a brilliant crimson- 
scarlet with a velvety sheen; it is deliciously per- 
fumed. Its long stems make it a very useful cut- 
flower variety, and when picked early in the morning 
in the bud, it will last a long time in the house where 
it will open slowly. 
The plant habit is ideal, being very vigorous, and 
the foliage is handsome and disease-resistant. As 
a cross between Gen. MacArthur and Hadley, it 
has the best qualities of both without the weaknesses 
of either. Unusually winter-hardy. $1 each; 12 for 
$10.80; 25 for $20.
