AUTUMN, 1930 - Rose PLANTING TIME 

Hybrid Perpetuals, concluded 
* JOHN RUSSELL. Velvety crimson. See 
illustration. Classed by some as a Hybrid Tea, al- 
though it does not bloom continuously. A globe of 
glistening scarlet-cerise petals resting on a crimson 
cushion formed by the recurving outer petals, 
heavily penciled with maroon—such is the half- 
open bloom. The large flowers are borne singly on 
strong, erect stems. A beautiful Rose, both in bud 
and in the fully expanded flower, but scentless. 
Plant exceptionally hardy, vigorous in growth, 
and of good upright habit. Subject at times to 
mildew in the late fall. A Rose worth growing 
for its form and color alone. $1 each. 
*MME. ALBERT  BARBIER. 
Cream-yellow. Illustrated in color on 
page 26. While this Rose is genetically 
a Hybrid Perpetual, in performance It 
is a Hybrid Tea deserving a first-row 
place in the “‘everblooming”’ class. A 
Hybrid of Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. 
Aaron Ward, and a Pernetiana, It 
shows the imprint of each: the hardi- 
ness of the H.P., the continuity of 
bloom and color of Mrs. Aaron Ward, 
and a blended Pernetiana foliage. 
The bloom is best described as a mag- 
nified Mrs. Aaron Ward, tawny yellow 
in the center with a cream collarette. 
The plant is upright and robust, of the 
height of a tall Hybrid Tea, with hand- 
some foliage. It Is a distinct acquisi- 
tion for those sections where truly 2 
hardy everblooming Roses are very 
few. $1 each. 
* MRS. JOHN LAING. Pink. II- 
Justrated in color on page 26. An erect | 
plant, of strong growth. It is very 
hardy and its delightful flowers of cup- 
like form are very sweet. It is a 
lively tone of solid pink, and so dis- 
tinct in form that It can never be mistaken. This 
is about the most popular pink Hybrid Perpetual 
Rose because it can be depended upon for recur- 
rent bloom. $1 each. 
* PRESIDENT BRIAND. Pink. [Illustrated in 
color on page 26. Named for Aristide Briand, ex- 
President of the French Senate, to commemorate the 
Kellogg Peace Pact, of which Briand was the insti- 
gator. President Briand is ‘‘Perpetual’’ in the full. 
meaning of the word, sending out in quick succes- * 
sion crop after crop of mammoth “peony’’ Roses. 
The bud is globular and for a Jong while the open 
flower retains the globular form of a peony of the 
bomb type and bears a delicate fragrance. In color 
it is a bright clear pmk with a salmon suffusion, and 
the bloom ts long-lasting, either on the plant or cut. 
The plant is vigorous, extremely hardy, and, when 
once established, will make a large bush seldom 
out of bloom throughout the season. A splendid 
example of the new strain of Hybrid Perpetuals. 
$2.50 each. 
Order No. 7228 May ro, 1930* 
I received an order of your collection of five Hybrid Perpetuals, 
including Red Druscbhki, President Briand, etc., together with 
one Prince Camille de Rohan. All have strong, healthy growth, 
perfect foliage, with each stem showing a beautifully formed bud 
(from 4 to 10 per bush). It’s a pleasure to look at them.—J. S. H., 
M.D., Wilmington, N. Dak.

* PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. Dark 
velvety purple-crimson, and doubtless the nearest 
“black” Hybrid Perpetual Rose in commerce. 
Should not be confused with Black Prince, an inferior 
Rose, for Prince Camille has larger flowers, intensely 
fragrant. $1 each. 












John Russell. 
Velvety crimson 
*S. M. GUSTAVE V. New. Pink. The bud is 
ovoid and the bloom very large, double, cupped, and 
beautifully imbricated, solid Paul-Neyron-pink and 
sweetly perfumed. The color does not fade and the 
blooms have excellent substance as cut-flowers. 
With large, healthy foliage, vigorous habit, and 
hardiness, this is one of the most finished Roses of 
the Hybrid Perpetual class. Blooms recurrently at 
brief intervals. $1.25 each. 
* SOUV. DE MME. THURET. A new and very 
interesting tint in Hybrid Perpetuals. The bud is 
long-pointed, coppery when the sepals divide, and 
the bee is semi-double and fairly recurrent. 
Throughout the day the color is a blend of shiny 
salmon, copper and pink, drawmg to each one 
according to time of day and angle of the sun’s 
rays. Quite perfumed. $1.25 each. 
%* ULRICH BRUNNER. Cherry-red. A healthy- 
growing, thornless bush of moderate size, buried in 
June beneath big and fragrant blooms of bright 
cherry-red. It is one of the most extravagantly 
blooming Roses of this class, and a plant m the 
height of the season is a thing of unequaled splendor. 
One of the finest of the Hybrid Perpetuals for cut- 
ting if pruned low, and blooms cut with long stems. 
$1 each. 
(UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED), *2-YEAR, FIELD-GROWN, STAR SIZE ROSES, $1 EACH;
