 Rose fragrance. The bush is low-growing and 

 sturdy, with handsome olive-green foliage that is 

 notably disease-resistant. A dependable leader 

 among the deep pink Hybrid Tea Roses. $1 each.

 buds are long and massive, bright satiny pink with a 

 carmine sheen on the reverse of the petals. The

 long-pointed buds open to brilliant, shining, pink 

 high-centered blooms with a golden underglow, the

 and always satisfactory. $1 each.

 Georges Pernet

 column below

 blooming freely and continuously. $1 each.

 blooms, tinted with salmon; fragrant. $1 each. 



• MRS. WARREN E. LENON. H.T. Rich pink. 

 One of the newer pinks, with vigorous growth and 

 good foliage. The well-formed, rich cerise-pink 

 blooms do not fade, but come on long stems con- 

 tinuously, and are long-lasting when cut. $1 each.

 ment on Columbia, and does not bull-nose in bad 

 weather. Long-pointed buds and full, double 

 blooms of a brilliant pink that does not blotch; 

 fragrant. Long cutting stems; nearly thornless. 

 $1 each.

 color. Its long buds of rich Oriental red are tipped

 yellow which blends slowly into the cochineal-old- 

 rose. The flower is very large, perfectly formed, and 

 unusually long-lasting when cut. Plant is low and 

 spreading. See illustration above. $1 each.
