 one, with long shapely bud that develops into a good sized sub- 

 stantial double flower with heavy shell-like petals. Color deep 

 apricot, tinted red at centre, reverse of petals shaded salmon-

 favorite garden Rose. The color is a charming salmon-pink 

 shaded orange-cerise, very distinct. The buds are of good form

 Mme. Edouard Herriot, in color a wonderful rich glowing deep 

 orange shaded apricot, the flowers are semi-double, beautiful in

 tered full double flowers of a rich deep glowing rose-pink and

 habit with attractive glossy foliage. fl.OO each. 



Imperial Potentate. Introduced only three years this beauti- 

 ful variety is quickly finding its place among the most popular 

 garden sorts. Its splendidly shaped buds develop into large, 

 sweet scented double flowers of crisp, glistening rose-pink with 

 silvery suffusion at the base of the petals. $1.50 each. 



Mabel Morse. There have been a number of yellow Roses 

 recently introduced all of which claim attention, and while in 

 Mabel Morse we have a flower that is not as large as Souvenir 

 de Claudius Fernet it has exceptional merit in color and form, 

 producing a most beautifully shaped long bud which develops 

 into a handsome good sized flower of the richest golden-yellow. 

 It is a strong vigorous grower and remarkably free flowering, 

 with rich, healthy, glossy, dark green foliage. $1.50 each. 



Mme . Alexander Dreux . While not a large flower it has become 

 prominent as a winter cut flower on account of its distinct brilli- 

 ant color and pretty shaped buds of a brilliant coppery golden- 

 yellow and which develop into high centred f uU flowers with re- 

 flexed petals of deep yellow splashed with orange. It has also 

 proven desirable as a garden Rose of vigorous, compact free 

 flowering habit. $1.50 each. 



Mme. Poincare. A most desirable garden variety which on 

 account of its healthy vigorous growth and free flowering habit 

 is certain to become popular. Its buds are long and shapely, 

 the attractive flowers are of cupped form and full double. Color 

 a pretty salmon-pink deepening, to an apricot centre. $1.00 

 each. 



Eev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 

 form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 

 stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 

 flowers of a golden-yellow, particularly high colored in late sum- 

 mer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 

 beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 

 gained great popularity in the short period since its introduction. 

 $2.00 each.

HvBRiD-TEA Rose, Rev. F. Page Roberts 



Sensation. We hesitated to endorse this large red heretofore 

 as we had seen it only under weather conditions which caused 

 the color to purple, but during the past wet cloudy season it 

 proved to be one of the very desirable varieties. The flowers 

 under these conditions were very large, of full double excellent 

 form and of a splendid scarlet-crimson color shading much 

 deeper in the autumn. A strong vigorous grower and very free 

 flowering. $1.00 each. 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & Son's 

 introductions of 1924, which was awarded the gold medal of the 

 National Rose Society of England. Color orange-rose, overshot 

 with golden-yellow and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful shape, 

 the open flowers cupped with reflexing outer petals, growth 

 vigorous and free with beautiful foliage, a sweetly scented 

 Rose of exceptional merit. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. This Holland introduction 

 of 1924, has, as we anticipated when we first offered it two years 

 since, quickly found its place among the best bedding Roses. 

 In color it is a two tone yellow, the centre a beautiful apricot- 

 yellow which shades to saffron yellow at the edges and while in 

 unfavorable weather it shades hghter, its rich color is maintained 

 better throughout the season than any other pure Hybrid-Tea 

 variety of similar color. $1.00 each. 



Souvenir de George Beckwith. A variety that is meeting 

 with much favor, flowers very large, globular and full double, 

 with petals of good substance. Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome 

 yellow shading deeper at the base of the petals, the various 

 shades blending very harmoniously, moderately fragrant. 

 $1.00 each. 



Sunstar. Has less petalage than desirable but is nevertheless 

 one of the most distinct and attractive varietie. in bud form. 

 The buds are e^xceptionally long and of most desirable form, in 

 color lemon-yellow, edged, splashed and veined with crimson and 

 vermilion in a wonderful medley. The coloring is so unique and 

 pleasing, that even if we could only have a few of these beautiful 

 buds in the season we should not wish to be without this novel 

 colored variety. $1.50 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 combina- 

 tions seen in Roses. The flowers are quite full and when half 

 blown are bewildering in their beauty, delightfully sweet- 

 scented. $1.00 each. 



We will supply one each of this Superb Collection in strong two-year-old plants for $17.50,
