NINE FRENCH HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Novelties and Recent Introductions of J. Pernet-Ducher 



We are indebted to the veteran French grower, Pernet-Ducher for many of our finest garden Roses, among these being the popular 

 Mme. Edouard Herriot or better known as the "Daily Mail Rose," also the sensational varietyfso extensively shown at the Flower Shows 

 during the past few years. Souvenir de Claudius Fernet which in naming Mr. Pernet-Ducher dedicated to his oldest son-^hoselife was given 

 in the Worlds' War. We are also offering for the first time this new yellow variety VQle de Paris (City of Paris), which was awarded the 

 Gold Medal at the trials at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, the past summer. 



Angele Pernet. Entirely distinct and novel in color, described 

 by the raiser as a vivid orange-yeUow shaded fiery deep reddish- 

 apricot, but "tango color" we believe describes it better. It is a 

 good grower producing a long bud opening to a moderately full, 

 beautiful sweet scented flower that at once attracts attention. 

 Awarded Gold Medal at the Bagatelle Paris trials in 1924. 

 S3. 00 each. 



Etoile de Feu. Very substantial globxdar buds opening to large 

 cupped flowers of a rich salmon-pink with flame colored shadings, 

 entirely distinct, dwarf, vigorous, free habit with attractive 

 glossy foliage. $1.50 each. 



La Belle Cuivree. Beautiful semi-double cupped flowers of a 

 distinct shade of reddish copper passing to a deep salmony rose 

 as they mature, free, vigorous growth and bloom, entirely dis- 

 tinct from all others. §1.50 each. 



Mrs. Beckwith. An erect grower of splendid habit, with glossy, 

 light green foliage, long shapely buds, medium sized, full, grace- 

 fully shaped flowers of a buttercup yellow, shading lighter at the 

 edges of the petals. SI. 50 each. 



President Cherioux. Long pointed buds developing very 

 large, fuU, globiflar flowers, color prawn-red with coral centre 

 shaded with yellow at the base; growth vigorous and free, one 

 of the choicest of its type. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower of 

 erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 

 pointed buds of exquisite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, fuU flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautifully 

 formed bloom. Color most striking sunflower-yeUow, deeper in 

 the centre, without any color blending, and which is retained 

 without fading even in the warmest weather. No other Rose 

 ever introduced has attracted so much attention at the shows 

 as this sunflower-yeUow and which we illustrate in colors on the 

 plate opposite. SI -50 each. 



Souvenir de George Beckwith. A strong and vigorous 

 grower of erect branching habit with large full globular flowers 

 on good stiff stems; color shrimp-pink tinted chrome-yellow 

 shading to deeper yellow at the base of the petals. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. We have felt enthusiastic about 

 this variety ever since its introduction and are convinced that it 

 stands at the head of the list of the many valuable garden Roses 

 that have been produced by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and produces its large flowers which are beauti- 

 ful in both bud and fully developed bloom, which are of an in- 

 tense oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine at the margin of 

 the petals, the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. $1.50 

 each. 



Ville de Paris (City of Paris). This latest introduction of Mr. 

 Pernet-Ducher's, which is offered for the first time this season 

 was awarded the Gold Medal at the BagateUe Garden trials last 

 summer. It is of a rich buttercup-yellow, much in the style of 

 Mrs. Beckwith but with longer buds and larger flowers and with 

 purer color, there being no lighter shadings in the color. The 

 plant is of vigorous growth and very free flowering. $2.50 each. 

 We will supply one each of the 9 French varieties for S12.50.J
