Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Gaiety (E. G. Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, de- 

 veloping to a large shapely semi-double, cupped, lasting 

 flower composed of ruffled petals which as they unfold 

 show various shades of orange, Indian red, yellow, and 

 pink or fawn. The plant is of strong branching habit, 

 with good healthy foliage and very free. $1.50 each. 

 Gladys Benskin (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Large 

 long pointed buds and high centred full flowers, well 

 built, with heavy, broad, slightly serrated petals. Color 

 very distinct, the reverse of the petals salmon cerise over 

 golden yellow, with deep yellow veining, inside bright 

 rose cerise shaded orange, with deeper orange shaded base 

 and very rich fruity fragrance. Vigorous, hardy, free 

 branching upright habit, very free and perpetual flower- 

 ing. Awarded Certificate of Merit National Rose Society 

 of England. $2.50 each. 

 Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new Rose of 

 Australian origin with which we have been most favorably im- 

 pressed during the past two years and in which we believe we 

 have an ideal garden Rose of great merit of an exquisite light 

 lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid form, heavily- 

 splashed with crimson before opening and develop into splendid- 

 ly shaped full double fragrant flowers. The plant is of strong, 

 vigorous branching habit, with large glossy healthy foliage, 

 very free flowering $1.50 each. 

 Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1920). A novelty which on ac- 

 count of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double flow- 

 er, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first un- 

 folding are cardinal red with orange suffusion and develop into 

 very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good 

 shape and which are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused 

 with a luminous golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous 

 upright grower with dark green glossy foliage and exceptionally 

 free and continuous flowering. Delivery of this variety will be 

 made after March 1st. $2.50 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Golden Dawn 



DorinaNeave (Pemberton, 1926). A meritorious bedding 



Rose of a delightful silvery pink with large, full, pointed, 



globular, fragrant flowers carried erect on stiff stems. 



Plant of strong, bushy, compact habit. $1.50 each. 

 Duchess of Athol (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of 



this new variety is uncommon and delightful, an old 



golden orange flushed with peach pink, particularly at- 

 tractive in the bud and open state, growth vigorous, a 



continuous profuse bloomer. Awarded Certificate of 



Merit by the National Rose Society of England. $1.50 



each. 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). A 

 new combination of colors, cream and blush as a bud, 

 when the guard petals open they disclose a perfect 

 pointed flower of rich carmine pink. The inside of petals 

 are flesh with a golden suffusion, running to pure gold at 

 the base of the petals; a very striking bloom. The flowers 

 come singly on long canes on a very vigorous plant. 

 Spicy fragrance. $1.50 each. 



Everest (Easlea & Sons, 1927). One of the largest Roses 

 yet raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flowers of im- 

 mense size with long broad petals of firm texture, fragrant 

 ivory-white with creamy suffusion and when fully devel- 

 oped resemble a large Peony borne on long stems. While 

 awarded a Gold Medal by the National Rose Society of 

 England in 1927 as a Hybrid-Tea, it has the characteris- 

 tics of a most vigorous growing Hybrid-Perpetual and is 

 admirably adapted to grow as a pillar Rose. $1.50 each. 



Frank Reader (Verschuren, 1927). A large massive 

 flower with high pointed centre with nicely reflexing 

 petals of great substance, the long buds in first developing 

 are a light lemon-yellow, while the flowers in their half- 

 expanded form reveal a heart of golden apricot; it has a 

 delicious rose apple scent. A vigorous grower and free 

 bloomer. $1.00 each. New Hybrid-Tea Rose. Duchess of Athol
