New Hybrid-'I ea Rose, 



Verna Mackay 



Mrs. Wallace H. Rowe (McGredy). 



A superb flower of great size and substance and a shade 

 of color hitherto not seen in any Rose — a bright Sweet 

 Pea mauve — a wonderful flower in every way; of superb 

 form and finish; very free- flowering. $2.50 each. 



Nerissa i Wm. p au i & s on , 



Received an award of merit from the Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society of England. An enormously large, 

 full flower, of fine shape, of a creamy-yeltow-color, 

 the centre being tinted with peach. $2.50 each. 



Ophelia (Wm. Paul & Son). 



Salmon-flesh shaded with rose, large and of perfect 

 shape, of excellent habit; the flowers, standing up well 

 on long, stiff stems, are produced very freely; a flower 

 that has been greatly admired. $2.50 each. 



Veriia Mackay (Dickson & sons). 



This is a beautiful, delicate ivory-sulphur-buff, chang- 

 ing to bright lemon as the flower expands. The flowers 

 are carried on erect stems and are borne in marvelous profusion. 

 The growth is vigorous, of free-branching habit, every shoot being 

 terminated by a sweetly perfumed flower. $'\50 each. 



Special Offer. 



We will supply one each of the 15 New Hybrid-Tea Roses for 

 1913 offered and described on pages 175, 176 and 177, in strong 

 two-year-old plants for $33.75. 



Mrs. frank Bray (Dickson & sons). 



This is a great advance on the lovely and justly 

 esteemed Mine. Ravary, which until now was the best 

 of its color amongst the decorative or garden varieties. 

 Mrs. Frank Bray during its several years' trial has proven 

 immensely superior to its prototype, not only in vigorous 

 growth but also in color, which is a rich deep coppery- 

 ecru, developing as the flower opens to a very delicate 

 coppery-fawn with a shading of ivory shell-pink. $2.50 

 each. 



Mrs. Herbert Hawksworth. 



(Dickson & Sons.) 



A glorious Rose of generous size and almost globular 

 form, with very smooth, shell-shaped, massive petals, 

 which are beautifully arranged, perfecting a flower of the 

 highest standard. The growth is vigorous and marvel- 

 lously free flowering. The color is deeply zoned ecru 

 on milk-white, which as the blooms expand become silky- 

 creamy-white. Delicious Tea Rose perfume. $2.50 

 each. ' 



Mrs. Muir Mack can (McGredy). 



A faultless Rose in every respect; a bright carmine- 

 crimson without any shading; a grand, bold, well-built 

 flower, perfect in shape and form; extra free-flowering 

 and fragrant. $2.50 each. 



MrS. Sam ROSS (Hugh Dickson). 



Very large, full flowers of refined form, of a novel and 

 uncommon color, distinct and pleasing, but difficult to de- 

 scribe, shading from a pale straw color to a light chamois- 

 yellow, with a distinct flush of buff on the reverse of the 

 petals and very sweetly scented and free-flowering. 

 Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society 

 of England. $2.50 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Sam Ross. 



The Hybrid-Tea Roses of recent introduction offered on pages 178 to 180 are all sorts which have been thoroughly tested.
