fOr 1913— Continued. 



C. W. CO-Wail I Dickson & Sons). 



In color a warm carmine-cerise, the flowers 

 large and full, imbricated in form, deliriously 

 scented and very freely and continuously pro- 

 duced; petals of great substance; growth vigor- 

 ous. Considered by experts a great improve- 

 ment on Marquise Litta, which variety has prac- 

 tically been dropped on account of its lack of 

 vigor, which has been overcome in this new 

 sort. $2.50 each. 



Duchess of Sutherland 



(Dickson & Sons. 

 A strikingly beautiful Rose of decided merit. 

 The blooms are freely produced and are carried 

 on rigid stems; they are large, full and conical, 

 with a delightful sweet-brier perfume. The color 

 is novel, a delicate, warm rose-pink, with lemon 

 shading on the white base. $2.50 each. 



Earl of Gosford (McGredy). 



Color a dark crimson, after the style of the Hybrid 

 Perpetual Rose Victor Hugo; a fine strong grower, 

 very fragrant and destined to become a popular va- 

 riety. $2.50 each. 



King George V. rwh Didoom. 



Strong, vigorous, free-branching growth and vei v 

 large, full flowers, which open freely, resembling in 

 build of flower and shape of petal the variety Mux-. 

 Jules Gravereaux. In color it is quite unique — a rich 

 blackish crimson with deep velvety-violet flush — a 

 striking color that does not burn in the sun or turn 

 blue, as many of the very dark Roses do. Strongly 

 and sweetly scented. $2.50 each. 



New Hybkid- Tea Rose George Dickson. 



George Dickson (Dickson & Sons i. 



The introducers of this new Rose, Messrs. Dick- 

 son, say: "This is the best Rose ever raised by us. 

 We make this statement advisedly and with a full sense 

 of our responsibility. The Rose is named after the 

 senior member of our firm, who is now approaching his 

 eightieth birthday. We are quite satisfied that within 

 two years George Dickson will be the most popular 

 exhibition Rose in existence. As near as we can de- 

 scribe it, the color is a velvety-black crimson, the back 

 of the petal being heavily veined with deep pure crim- 

 son-maroon. The petals are of splendid shape; of 

 magnificent substance; delightfully smooth, and built 

 to make the form of flower perfection. We have regu- 

 arly had blooms of the highest exhibition standard 

 quite five inches across. It has wonderful lasting 

 qualities, not only as to the retention of its color, but 

 also in its shape and freshness. Awarded the Gold 

 Medal of the National Rose Society of England, be- 

 sides many other first awards at various shows in 

 England." Strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 each. 



Mrs. Charles Hunter. 



<Wm. Paul & Son.) 



A strong, vigorous grower with rosy-crimson 

 flowers, changing to a pleasing rose as they fully 

 expand; a very bold flower with large, handsome 

 petals, produced on strong, upright stalks. $2.50 

 each.
