Bedford Crimson (Laxton Bros., 192o). This grand Rose ' 

 was awarded the Clay Challenge Cup by the Royal 

 Horticultural Society of England for the best new Rose 

 with the best Old Rose Scent. Aside from its delightful 

 odor it is unquestionably the most beautiful high 

 colored full double Rose yet introduced, a brilliant 

 crimson-scarlet. It is of beautiful form both in the 

 half developed, as well as in the fully expanded 

 bloom, produced profusely on good stiff stems

 Doris Dickson (Sandy Dickson, 1926). Exquisitely | 

 formed medium-sized flowers, the base color of which i 

 is orange cream, but so heavily veined and pencilled 

 with deep brilliant cherry that it is impossible to 

 adequately describe the unique coloring. Growth 

 vigorous, very free flowering, and extremely fragrant. I 

 A variety that is sure to become a favorite. S2.50 each. 

 Duchess of Athol (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The 

 coloring of this new variety is uncommon and delightful, an 

 old golden orange flushed with peach pink, particularly' at- 

 tractive in the bud and open state, growth vigorous, a con- 

 tinuous profuse bloomer. Awarded Certificate of Merit by the 

 National Rose Society of England. $2.50 each. 

 Duchess of York (Sandy Dickson, 1925). Flowers large, full 

 and fine form. Color in the young stage deep golden yellow, 

 with deep tangerine orange centre, the color spreading from 

 the centre and suffusing the whole flower. A Rose of except- 

 ional merit for bedding and garden decoration; its freedom 

 of bloom is extraordinary, exceptionally long lasting as a cut 

 flower. $2.00 each. 

 Frank Reader (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). Among light colored 

 Roses, this variety is of outstanding merit. For full descript- 

 ion and colored illustration, see page 121. $2.00 each.

 was named in memory of our late Mr. Thilow. It is a rich

 respect. $1.50 each. 



John Russell (Dobbie & Co., 1924). One of the handsomest 

 red Roses, beautiful both in bud and in the fully expanded

 everyone admires it for its splendid form and rich color, a 

 very large double flower of a brilliant deep velvety crimson, 

 the growth is exceptionally strong, vigorous and hardy.

 habit, and deliciously sweet-scented. $1.50 each.

 variety of outstanding merit that will be appreciated in the 

 garden and for cutting. The plant is of strong vigorous, 

 upright, branching habit with good healthy foliage and very 

 prolific flowering. The delightfully fragrant flowers are 

 carried on long stiff stems, the buds are very shapely, long 

 pointed, and open to blooms of moderate fullness, with 

 broad deep substantial petals, in color a brilliant deep 

 carmine-pink. $2.50 each.
