This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The following is an 

 _ extract of Messrs. McGredy's description of this beautiful 



new variety: "The color is quite distinct from anything yet 

 seen in Roses, a wonderful dual combination of vivid shades. 

 A beautiful scarlet coppery-orange is heavily flushed with 

 Lincoln-red on the outside of the petals, and these colors 

 together give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The flowers 

 are of large size and beautiful form, and they possess the 

 proper fullness to make them useful for all purposes. They 

 are very freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant 

 has a vigorous and exceptionally free habit and is for all 

 Rose growers the best all-purpose variety we have raised." 

 $3.00 each. 

 Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (McGredy, 1927). An extremely 

 vigorous growing, very free-flowering Rose. The splendidly - 

 formed buds are of an entrancing new color, the exterior of 

 the petals heavily veined with rose d'or and shaded orange- 

 cadmium, the interior a deep chrome-yellow on the lower 

 half passes to a warm rich rosy-salmon. $1.00 each. 

 Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of very 

 recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds are of a 

 deep scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant double perfect 

 blooms that shade from orange at the base of the petals to 

 rich carmine at the edges, and extremely free flowering. 

 $1.50 each. 

 Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most 

 enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crimson with 

 velvety sheen which they de- 

 scribe as having large, full 

 beautifully formed flowers. 

 Habit vigorous and bushy, a 

 continuous free bloomer. Cer- 

 tificate of Merit National 

 Rose Society, England. $2.50 

 each.

Dime. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This splendid 

 Rose in the formation of its large, full flowers, strong, vigorous, 

 healthy growth and freedom of flowering reminds one of the same 

 raiser's popular bedding variety, Souvenir de Georges Pernet, 

 excepting in color which is much lighter, being a pretty shrimp 

 or coral pink on an orange-copper base. $1.50 each. 



Marquise d'Andigne (Leenders Bros., 1927). 

 Buds large, long pointed, developing to very large, 

 very full, double, long lasting, fragrant, velvety 

 scarlet-crimson flowers borne singly on long strong 

 stems. Growth very vigorous, bushy and a pro 

 fuse bloomer with dark green healthy foliage. 

 Awarded Gold Medal at Saverne. $1.50 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 

 1926). A marvelously beautiful Rose with a 

 unique color combination not found in any other 

 variety, a most striking blending of dark vivid 

 orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground 

 with frequently touches of bronze on the reverse 

 of the petals. The sweet-scented flowers are very large, of per- 

 feet formation both in the bud as well as in the fully developed 

 flower and are produced very freely on vigorous upright growths. 

 Gold Medal at The Hague and Certificate of Merit with Con- 

 gratulations of the Jury of the Royal Dutch Horticultural 

 Society. $3.00 each. 



Mrs. Beatty (Cant, 1926). An exquisite self-colored light lemon- 

 yellow with the delightful perfume of the old favorite Marechal 

 Niel. Habit of growth good, with disease-immune foliage, < 

 always in flower with large, long, oval-pointed buds. A Rose 

 that is destined to become a popular favorite. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. Lovell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). A remarkably \ 

 vigorous grower of branching habit, well furnished with excellent i 

 foliage, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely buds with" 

 nicely rellexing petals that develop into good double flowers. 

 The color of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at base merging 

 to salmon-pink at the tips. The developed flowers are also 

 salmon-pink, deepening towards the centre. Delightfully tea- | 

 scented. $1.00 each.
