The New Hybrid-Tea Roses of 1913 and 19 14. 



Every season the list of new Roses oflfered with glowing descriptions grows greater and greater. Necessarily nianv of these are 

 lacking in merit, and wilh this in mind it has been our custom to select from these novelties only such that we know either from 

 actual trial or from reliable information to be distinct and of superior merit; and while we occasionally miss a valuable variety by 

 this careful selection, and in spite of it also occasionally include a sort which on better acquaintance is found lackini^, suih instances, 

 considering the host of novelties offered every season, are comparatively few. 



While the beginner or amateur, who only wants a limited number of varieties, will find just as great pleasure in adding to his. 

 collection from the older and less expensive varieties offered on pages 157 to 161, we recommend these new sorts for trial to the 

 connoisseur who already has an extensive collection, or to those who wish to keep strictly up-to-date. 



All the Roses we offer are strong two-year-old plants. 



THE GREATEST NEW ROSE OF RECENT YEARS. 

 THE DAILY MAIL ROSE OR :>IME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. 



Winner of the Gold Cup, which was offered by the London Daily Mail, for the BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the Inter- 

 national Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, England, May, 1912 (this was the greatest horticultural exhibition ever held), 

 and to be known as the Daily Mail Rose. In competition wilh the world's greatest rosarians this much coveted prize was awarded 

 to M. Pernet-Ducher for this wonderful novelty. It was again exhibited in London on May 1, 1913, at the Exhibition of the 

 National Rose Society of England, where it was awarded the Society's Gold Medal. 



This variety is said to be the progeny of an unnamed seedling of Caroline Testout, and an unnamed variety of the Pernetiana 

 class. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of spreading, branching habit, with numerous long thorns and bronzy-green foliage. 

 M. Pernet-Ducher describes its color as follows: "Buds coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the o|)en flowers of mediun^ 

 size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp-red." One of our 

 American correspondents, a friend of the introducer, who had the pleasure of testing it in this country, says: "A wonderful Rose. 

 The bud is long, slender and pointed, the color is like sunshine on a copper-red metal."

 den variety, being a free and continuous bloomer 

 of vigorous growth. Awarded a gold medal at 

 the Itilernational Horticultural Exhibition, 1912. 

 $2.o0 each. 



BRITISH QIJEEIV. 



(McGredy.) 



Mr. McGredy describes this as one of his most 

 important introductions, and as the best white Rose 

 in existence. In our own trial grounds we were 

 disajipointed with the flowers it produced early in 

 the season; but as the summer advanced it de- 

 veloped some very beautiful blooms, which in the 

 bud form are slightly tinted with pink, becoming 

 pure white when fully expanded. It is of Tea 

 Rose form and refinement, very free-flowering and 

 deliciously scented. Awarded a gold medal by 

 the National Rose Society of England, 1912. 

 $1.25 each. 



C. W, COWAN.

 In color a warm carmine-cerise, the flowers 

 large and full, imbricated in form, deliciously 

 scented and very freely and continuously pro- 

 duced; petals of great substance; growth vigorous.
