New Hybrid=Tea Roses. 



We offer on this and the two following pages a selection ot che recent 

 introductions of various prominent European and American Rose 

 specialists. 



Celia ( Win. Paul & Son, 1916). A fine bright satin pink, shad- 

 ing deeper towards the centre; flowers large, full, double, of perfect 

 form; fragrant; especially remarkable for the freedom with which its 

 flowers are produced. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; §7.50 

 per doz. 



Chateau de CIos Vougeot (Pernet-Ducher, 1903). An ideal 

 Rose, of a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, shaded fiery red, chang- 

 ing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers expand, not unlike in color 

 the popular Prince Camille de Rohan. Nothing in our trial beds 

 equalled this variety for richness of color, and it was in bloom con- 

 tinuously throughout the season. Strong two-year-old plants, Si. 00 

 each; §10.00 per doz. 



Comtesse Icy Hardegg (Soupe.ri & Rotting, 1905). A 

 large, full, double flower of perfect form; buds long and pointed, 

 color a bright carmine-rose, a strong, vigorous grower, producing its 

 flowers very freely on long, stout sterns; splendid for cutting. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Countess of Gosford (McGredy, 1906). A splendid extremely 

 free-flowering Rose, of large size, of perfect form, and full, long, 

 pointed buds of a beautiful salmon-pink rose, the base of petals suf- 

 fused with saffron-yellow. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; 

 $7.50 per doz. 



Cynthia Forde (Hugh Dickson, 1909). Flowers of great sub- 

 stance, color a deep, brilliant rose, shading on the back of the petals 

 to a light rosy-pink. The flowers are very large, full, and of perfect 

 form and very free-flowering and fragrant. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, §1.25 each; §12.00 per doz. 



Deuilde L. Compagnon (Guillot, 1908). The darkest colored 

 Hybrid-Tea yet introduced; a deep purplish-crimson, large, full, 

 cupped flowers; a moderate grower. Light two-year-old plants, 75 

 cents each. 



Ecarlate (Boytard, 1907). Produces only medium-sized flowers, 

 but is such a brilliant scarlet in color and such an incessant bloomer 

 that we count it among the best bedding varieties. Strong two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each; §'>. UO per doz. 



Ellen Wilmot [Bernaix, 1908). Pure white on the outer petals, 

 with a fresh flesh-pink centre; a beautifully formed flower, full double 

 and produced freely throughout the season, holding its quality during 

 most unfavorable weather conditions. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



Entente Cordiale (Pernet-DucTier, 1909). We have been very 

 favorably impressed with this new French variety, and on account of 

 its very free-flowering habit it will probably, as a bedding variety, 

 supercede the popular Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, which it closely 

 resembles. The habit of the plant is moderate, but very branching, 

 every shoot producing from one to five fragrant flowers, which are 

 perfect inform, large, full, globular, with long, pointed buds; splendid 

 for cutting; in color it is a soft creamy or sulphury-white. A limited 

 stock of two-year-old plants, §1.00 each. 



General MacAurthur {Rill & Co., 1905). As an all-round 

 garden Rose, we know of no variety of its color, crimson-scarlet, 

 which we can so unhesitatingly recommend, its sweetly-scented flowers 

 being produced in great profusion, even under the most unfavorable 

 weather conditions. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; §5.00 

 per doz. 



H. Armytage Moore (Hugh Dickson, 1907). Great shell- 

 like petals, forming very long buds and large flowers of a pleasing 

 rose-pink, passing to a silvery-pink. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each; §7.50 per doz. 



Hector Hackenzie ( Guillot, 1908). Especially valuable during 

 hot summer weather, when it continues in perfection, producing lar<*e, 

 perfect blooms in profusion; it is delightfully fragrant; color dark 

 pink when first opening, changing to a silvery crimson. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 75 cts. each; S7. r >0 per doz. 



His Majesty (McGredy, 1909). A fine dark crimson, shaded 

 deep vermilion-crimson towards the edges, frequently with a deep 

 velvety shading. When seen at its best, it reminds one in form of 

 flower and strong growth of that grand Rose, Frau Karl Druschki. 

 It is also delightfully fragrant. §1.25 each; $12.00 per doz. 



Institateur Sirday (Per net- Due her, 1906). A strong grow- 

 ing variety, with large, full, double flowers of perfect form, the buds 

 of a deep orange, opening a golden yellow. A splendid free-flower- 

 ing bedding variety. 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz.
