NEw HysRID-TEA Rose, Mrs. W. E. NICKERSON 
Oliver Mee (Sandy Dickson, 1927). A Rose of great charm and 
beauty. The buds are long and pointed, of exquisite shape, and 
open to large, full high-centered flowers of great distinction. The 
color in the young state is deep salmon with a heavy 
flush of clear fawn, changing with age to deep salmon 
pink. One of the most beautiful Roses of recent 
years; sweetly scented. $2.00 each. 
Pink Pearl (Leenders & Co., 1924). A dainty, re- 
markably free flowering variety destined to become 
a universal favorite if it had nothing to recommend 
it but its delicious fragrance. In color it is a brilliant 
rich cerise pink the base of the petals touched with 
gold that lights up the flower wonderfully, particularly 
in the half expanded bloom. The flowers are full 
double, of perfect form. $1.00 each. 
Rev. F. Page Roberts (Cant & Sons, 1921). For full de- 
scription, see Dreer’s Gold Medal Dozen, page 142. $1.50 
each. 
Roselandia (W. Stevens, 1924). A sport from the popular vari- 
ety Golden Ophelia, over which it is an improvement not only in 
color but in its remarkable free-flowering habit. It is a golden- 
orange suffused with a lustrous glow of apricot in the heart and 
at the base of the petals, frequently tinted red on the reverse of 
the outer petals; the buds are long pointed, of superb build and 
substance, and very sweet scented. $1.00 each. 
Royal Scot. A variety of gorgeous coloring with large ovoid buds 
of the type of Lord Lamborne, but much brighter in coloring, a 
rich golden yellow with crimson edges, the open flowers are of 
medium size, semi-double, light yellow with crimson edged 
petals and are borne several together on long stems, growth vig- 
orous, very profuse flowering, of moderate fragrance. $2.00 each. 
Wilhelm Kordes (Kordes & Sons, 1921). For full description, 
see Dreer’s Gold Medal Dozen, page 142. $1.50 each.

panding buds and the developed flowers are models in formation,

very fragrant; a strong vigorous grower and very 
free flowering. $1.00 each.

fragrant creamy-white with light yellow tinted 
centre, large, full and of perfect form. $1.50 each.

shading; pretty, free flowering and a vigorous grower.

vigorous habit of growth. Free flowering and richly perfumed. 
$1.50 each. 
Talisman. This new American Rose, originated by the Montgom- 
ery Co. and offered now for the first time, created a sensation at all 
the shows where it was exhibited last year and was awarded Gold 
Medals by the American Rose Society at the National Flower Show 
at Louisville, Ky., at the Philadelphia Flower Festival as well as at 
the International Flower Show at New York, where it was also 
honored with the President Coolidge Horticultural Gold Medal. It 
is the most remarkable piece of coloring that we know in any Rose; 
a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink cr 
old-rose. The outside of the petals is bright yellow, gold, and pink; 
as the flower develops and the petals unfold they become bright 
apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most Roses the 
color becomes brighter as the flowers develop. The bud is long, 
perfectly formed, averaging about 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a 
strong vigorous grower with glossy green foliage and free 
flowering. Strong two-year-old plants, ready for delivery 
April ist. See illustration, page 145. $2.50 each; $25.00 per 
doz.
