Hybrid-Tea Rose, Wilhelm Kordes 



Select Hybrid -Tea Roses 



Sir David Davis. See page 139. 



Souvenir de Alexander Bernaix. See page 144. $2.50 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, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautifully 

 formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper in the centre, without any 

 color blending. 

 Souvenir de Georges Pernet. Unequaled in color by any other variety; its long 

 pointed buds of rich Oriental-red tipped with carmine and suffused with a rich 

 golden sheen expand to full double flowers of elegant form. Strong vigorous 

 growing and profuse in flowering. 

 Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. This has quickly found its place among the 

 best bedding Roses. In color it is a two tone yellow, the centre a beautiful apricot- 

 yellow. 

 Swansdown. See page 144. $2.50 each. 



The Queen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of intense vermilion deeply shaded old 

 gold on reverse of petals, which spring from a pure orange base, one of the most 

 remarkable color combinations seen in Roses. 



Talisman. See page 137. $2.00 each. 

 Vermilion. See page 144. $1.50 each. 

 Ville de Paris. See page 139. 



Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; 

 a rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlying a golden- 

 salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 

 conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 

 early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 

 pointed, opening to double high-centred very fragrant flowers. 

 Habit compact but vigorous, very free flowering. $1.50 each. 

 William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 

 Los Angeles, and for delicacy of coloring no other variety can 

 compare. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages are at their 

 best in the half expanded flower. These, in expanding, are of 

 a soft, silvery shell pink at certain stages of development, a 

 golden suffusion illuminates the entire flower. 



Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused 



with carmine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, hand- 

 some flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre 



and flushed carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals. 

 Patience. See page 143. $1.50 each. 

 Pink Pearl. A dainty variety destined to become a universal 



favorite even if it had nothing to recommend it but its delicious 



fragrance. In color it is a brilliant rich cerise pink the base of 



the petals touched with gold that lights up the flower wonder- 

 fully, particularly in the half expanded bloom. The flowers 



are full double, of perfect form. 

 Portadown. See page 143. $2.50 each. 

 Portadown Bedder. See page 144. $2.50 each.

high centred flower of cadmium yellow with vermilion 



shading; pretty, free flowering and a vigorous grower.

bud and flower, very free.

borne several together on long stems, growth vigorous, very 



profuse flowering. $1.50 each.
