New Hybrid=Tea Roses. 



(Continued.) 



Mme. Segond Weber (Sovpert & Notting, 1908). 

 The most desirable Rose of its color in our collection. It is 

 a vigorous grower, free-flowering, large, perfectly formed, cup- 

 shaped, fragrant flowers of marvellous beauty. In color it is of 

 that soft shade of slight salmon-pink which appeals to everyone. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, §1.00 each; §10.00 per doz. 



Marquise de Sinety (Pernet-Ducher, 1906). Everyone 

 •who has seen this beautiful Rose is enthusiastic over it. The 

 buds are of a rich yellow-ochre, suffused with carmine; the ex- 

 panded flower, which is of good size, is fairly double, of perfect 

 ■cupped shape, and of a rich golden yellow or Roman ochre, 

 shaded with bright rosy-red, delightfully fragrant. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 81-00 each; §10.00 per doz. 



Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell (Pernet-Ducher, 1908). 

 An attractively colored variety that meets with universal favor, a 

 delicate, soft, rosy-salmon, suffused with a golden sheen; flowers 

 of medium size, especially handsome in half expanded form; a 

 free-flowering garden variety that should be in every collection. 

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



Mrs. Alfred Tate (McGredy, 1909). Entirely distinct 

 And very beautiful ; in color a coppery red, shaded fawn, with ochre 

 shading at the base of the petals; a wonderful long pointed 

 flower with heavy petals, just double enough to make a perfect 

 form; very floriferous and sweet. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 $1.25 each; §12 00 per doz. 



Mrs. Edward J. Holland (McGredy, 1909). The in- 

 troducer describes this as the nearest approach in form to that 

 popular white Rose, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, but in color a 

 beautiful deep salmon-rose, shading lighter towards the edges; 

 a model flower of exquisite beauty, which comes perfect under 

 the most adverse climatic conditions; delightfully fragrant. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, §1.25 each; §12.00 per doz. 



Mrs. Wakefield Christie=Miller (McGredy, 1909). 

 Soft pearly blush shaded salmon, the outside of the petals a clear 

 vermilion rose, a marvellous color combination; the flowers are 

 of extra large size, with petals of great substance. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, §1.2) each; §12.00 per doz. 



Otto Von Bismarck {Schmidt, 1908). In competition 

 for a prize of 3,000 marks (§750.00), offered at a German Exhib- 

 ition in 1908, for the best new Hybrid-Tea Rose, it was 

 awarded to this variety, which is a cross between La France and 

 Caroline Testout. In habit of growth it somewhat resembles 

 the latter, while in color it has the soft, silvery pink of La France; 

 it is a vigorous grower and a free and continuous bloomer. 

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



Reine Marguerite D'ltalie (Soupert<& Hotting, 1905). 

 Attracted great attention in our trial grounds, especially dur- 

 ing July and August, when it appeared to be in its glory, pro- 

 ducing masses of intensely bright carmine-red flowers with ver- 

 milion centre. These are of good size and delightfully fragrant. 

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



Rosa Verschuren ( Verschuren, 1905). The only variety 

 with variegated foliage, the leaves being dark green, marbled 

 and striped with creamy white; quite distinct, novel and interest- 

 ing. The flowers are of a lively, soft rose-color, of good size 

 and form; very sweet scented. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



The Lyon (Pernet-Ducher, 1907). The most sensational 

 Rose yet introduced. It was illustrated in colors in our 1910 

 Garden Book, but neither words or artist's brush can do justice 

 to its wonderful coloring; it must be seen to be appreciated. 



It is of very vigorous habit, with excellent foliage of a rich 

 reddish green. The buds are long, tipped coral-red and chrome- 

 yellow at the base. The flowers when expanded are large and 

 full, with broad petals of a superb color, being a coral-red or 

 salmon-pink, shaded with chrome-yellow in the centre, toning to 

 a shrimp-pink at the tips, a most happy and charming contrast 

 of colors. Very free, fragrant and hardy. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz. 



White Killarney (Waban Rose Co., 1908). A pure 

 white sport of the popular Killarney Rose, identical in every 

 way with its parent, excepting in color, which is a pure white. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; §5,00 per doz.
