 Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery-red in the very long,

 flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon-pink. Growth vigorous and 

 healthy, free and continuous bloomer. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The color of this beautiful 

 variety is quite distinct from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonderful 

 dual combination of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet coppery-orange is 

 heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside of the petals, and these 

 colors together give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The flowers are of 

 large size and beautiful form, and they possess the proper fullness to 

 make them useful for all purposes. They are very freely produced and 

 delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous and exceptionally free 

 habit and is one of the best all-purpose varieties. $1.00 each.
