Kinds Underscored — Introduced in America by The Conard-Pyle Co. 



• MME. CLARA D'ARCIS. h.T. (J . Gaujard, 



1931.) Carmine-pink. large, pointed bud and full, 

 double bloom of fine form, making it excellent for 

 cutting. The petals have great substance and show 

 venations of deep carmine. \\ hen open, the flower 

 Js high in the center with rolled petals, making a 

 cushion effect. Spicily fragrant, dependable, hardy. 

 Foliage is dark green, leathery, and disease-resistant. 

 $3 each. 



• MME. LOUISE TREMEAU. p crnct . (Q 



Mallcrin, 1931.) I Icrmosa-pink. Genteel Hermosa- 



}>ink is the predominant color in this flower, with a 

 leart of vivid yellow, enriched with golden stamens. 

 The open flower is cup-shaped, with all the charm of 

 a wayside wild Rose, yet it is 33^ inches across and 

 has four rows of petals. The bush is erect and low- 

 growing but as hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual. $2.50 

 each. 



• MME. VAN DE VOORDE. h.T. (C. Mal- 

 lcrin, 1928.) Bright scarlet. A boutonniere Rose 

 par excellence as it makes exquisite, long-pointed, 

 perfect buds, an incli in length, of dark crimson, 

 almost maroon. The open flower, of medium size, is 

 semi-double and flashing bright scarlet in color, with 

 pale gold anthers to heighten the brilliance of the 

 red. Blooms come almost continuously from June 

 until frost, and several plants should provide a 

 buttonhole flower every morning. Delightful, true 

 Rose fragrance. $1.50 each. 



• NICOLE. h.T. (J. Gaujard, 1930.) Ecru. A 

 notable addition to the everblooming light yellow 

 class. The blooms come individually on strong- 

 growing plants on which the flowers are carried erect. 

 Buds are long, tapered, and richly colored with 

 copper at the base, lightening to ecru at the tips. 

 The open, fragrant bloom has large, upright, shell- 

 like petals that recurve slightly but do not flatten 

 out until ready to drop. A heavy mass of golden 

 anthers springing from a base of reddish copper adds 

 greatly to the beauty of the flower. This constant- 

 blooming, firm-petaled, fragrant beauty keeps for 

 days when cut. $2.50 each. 



• PRESIDENT PLUMECOCK. h.T. (J. Gau- 

 jard, 1931.) Coppery buff. Mons. Jules Gaujard, 

 successor to the late Pernet-Ducher, is the producer 

 of this magnificent Rose. It resembles the famous 

 Rev. F. Page-Roberts in form and general coloring. 

 The ovoid bud is coppery yellow and opens to a 

 cupped bloom with every broad, firm petal slightly 

 reflexed. The inside of the flower glows like fiery 

 apricot, and the color ensemble of the open bloom is 

 coppery buff with an overglow of deep salmon. It is 

 an upright grower, and the majority of the blooms 

 are produced singly on strong, erect stems. Has a 

 rich, fruity fragrance and is very lasting as a cut- 

 flower. $3 each. 



• SCEUR THERESE ( S i s ter Therese). Pernet. 

 (F. Gillot, 1930.) Chrome-yellow and carmine. The 

 ideally shaped, long-pointed buds are unmatched in 

 color by any other Rose we know. At the base of the 

 petals is rich daffodil-yellow which becomes heavily 

 flushed with carmine-red, ending at the tips like a 

 reddish sunset glow. The petals have great substance 

 and in opening they curve back at the tips, making a 

 goblet-shaped flower with the center petals a glowing 

 chrome-yellow. Use this Rose to win prizes at your 

 local Rose show, for it blooms singly on erect, rigid 

 pedicels, and both form and color are about perfect. 

 Fresh Sweetbriar fragrance. $2.50 each. 



• SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. h.T. (C. 

 Chambard, L931.) Coral-rose. This Rose has a 

 radiant personality. It shows quality from the form- 

 ing of the buds, on long stems, until deflorescence and 

 is charmingh attractive in every stage. The long, 

 tapering buds have a rich chrome-yellow base and 

 the opening petals recurve in delightful fashion. In 

 the full, open (lower the color is luscious coral-rose- 

 pink with a glowing, satiny sheen, and the golden 

 stamens are merely seen glinting through the peta- 

 Ioids. The flowers generally come singly. $3 each. 



• THE NEW DAWN. Everblooming Dr. W. 

 Van Fleet. The first plant patent ever issued has 

 been granted the originators of this new variety. It 

 is a sport of the universally known Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet climbing Rose, and it blooms continuously 

 throughout the summer and fall months. The 

 blooms are identical in every way with the parent 

 Rose, retaining the perfect Tea Rose form and the 

 dainty apple-blossom-pink color. It is also delicately 

 fragrant and the exquisite blooms come on long 

 stems for cutting. $2 each. 



•Li Bures. Marvelous coloring in the fall 



• LI BURES. Pernet. Multicolored. See in color 

 above. The bud first shows maroon, gradually 

 lightened with orange and yellow as the flower ex- 

 pands. As a slowly moving kaleidoscope, these tints 

 blend into new ones until toward the end when the 

 outer petals assume a velvety purple-crimson while 

 the center becomes old-rose suffused with yellow. 

 Fragrant and spectacular. $1.50 each.

 two pages that were previously introduced)
