Everblooming Star * Roses, continued 



• DAME EDITH HELEN. M.T. PauI-Ncvron-pink. 

 Sec illustration. An exhibition and cut-llower Rose. Tlie 

 large, ovoid bud, with recurled petals, gradually opens 

 into a full, big Rose of a solid PauI-Neyron-pink, long 

 lasting and very sweetly scented with the true old-Rose 

 perfume. The blooms are so large, full, and perfect 

 t!'-at you cannot expect many. They are very long 

 lasting when cut. $1 each. 



•DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. H.T. Orange- 

 yellow. See color, page 2i. The long-pointed buds 

 change from deep orange-yellow to lemon. When 

 half-open the deep, cupped bloom shows an abun- 

 dance of coppery gold anthers. This delightfully 

 fragrant garden Rose is everlastingly dependable. 

 Oftered in the Star Dozen, page 21. $1 each. 



•DIANE DE BROGLIE. H.T. New. Geranium- 

 pink. Long buds of coral color, sometimes flaked 

 with pink on a golden base, open to geranium- 

 pink flowers on sturdy, upright stems. A novelly 

 colored Rose and very lasting when cut. S2 each. 



•EDITH NELLIE PERKINS. H.T. Salmon- 

 pink. The long-pointed buds are cream and blush 

 outside, with salmon-pink and a golden orange 

 base inside. Sweetly scented. Long stems; fine 

 for cutting. $L50 each. 



•EDEL. H.T. White. An astonishingly majestic 

 Rose, very large, fully double, and sweetly fragrant. The 

 open blooms have a dehcate tinge of lemon in the depths 

 between the petals. The blooms open slowly and are 

 best in dry weather. $1 each. 



•ETOILE DE FEU. Pernet. Flame color. Remarkable 

 in color and always a center of attraction. The globular 

 buds of glowing flame (hence its name, meaning "star 

 of fire") gradually open to blooms of coral-pink and 

 glowing reddish salmon, which are full and very large; 

 especially fine in hot sunshine. Its foliage is rich, glossy, 

 dark green and more resistant to disease than most 

 other Pernetianas. $1 each. 



•Kardinal Piffl. Orange-pink. Blooms continuously 



•Dame Edith Helen. True old-Rose perfume 



•ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. H.T. Crimson. 

 See illustration in color, page 20. Ofl^ered .in 

 the Star Dozen, page 21. 



• GRUSS AN AACHEN. Ben.-Bour. White 

 to carmine. A hybrid of the two extremely 

 hardy strains Bengal and Bourbon, hence its 

 unusual robustness. A splendid bedding or 

 border variety. It makes more nearly a mass 

 effect in bloom than any other low-growing 

 type of light color, with an assemblage of 

 carmine, yellow, fawn, and white shades. 

 Blooms are large and full. In the fall the colors 

 are fascinating. $1 each. 



• GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. H.Ben. Deep 

 crimson. One of the brightest-colored Roses 

 we know. It is too strong in growth to plant 

 in a bed with Hybrid Teas, but it makes fine 

 specimen bushes, continuously blooming, or a 

 lovely, hardy hedge for a dividing-line. The 

 flowers are very fragrant but not suitable for 

 cutting. $1 each. 



•IMPERIAL POTENTATE. H.T. Deep 



pink. Rich, sparkling pink buds unfold to large, 

 double, well-shaped flowers, pretty at all stages, 

 with true Rose fragrance. Bushes are sturdy 

 and hardy, with handsome olive-green foliage 

 that is notably disease-resistant. After several 

 years' testing in our Rose-garden we find this one 

 of the most dependable pink Hybrid Teas. $1 ea. 



• KARDINAL PIFFL. (Named for the Pri- 

 mate of Germany.) Pernet. Orange-pink. A 

 very active bloomer, generally in clusters, but 

 when disbudded to one bloom to the stem 

 produces mammoth flowers. The bud is ovoid, 

 orange-pink, with gold at the base, opening to 

 well-arranged, double flowers holding their 

 color well to the end; fruity fragrance. This 

 Rose keeps up a continuous succession of 

 bloom. Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1926. See 

 illustration. $1 each.
