shaded orange-apricot, vigorous habit and very free 
flowering. 
Rose Marie. One of the best bedding Roses grown, re-

buds, which develop into full flowers of beautiful 
form, of a most pleasing clear rose-pink, 
delicately scented.

moderately long and pointed, flowers 
large, full double, and of good form, color 
intense crimson scarlet, vigorous, free and 
fragrant. $1.50 each.

in its long pointed bud as well as in the fully de- 
veloped, sweetly scented, double flower. A 
strong vigorous grower that is particularly brilliant 
late in the autumn. 
Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. 
Dickson & Sons’ introductions of 1924, which was 
awarded the Gold» Medal of the National Rose 
Society of England. Color orange-rose, overshot with 
golden-yellow and flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful 
shape, the open flowers cupped with reflexing outer 
petals, growth vigorous and free with beautiful foliage, 
a sweetly scented Rose of exceptional merit.

two-toned yellow, the edges light buff deepening to 
apricot yellow at the centre, particularly rich in cool 
weather. Buds and flowers of capital form, growth 
vigorous and healthy, very free and 
sweetly perfumed. 
NEw Hysrip-TEA ROSE, Mrs. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM 
Souvenir de George Beckwith. A variety that is meeting with 
much favor, flowers very large, globular and full double, with petals 
of good substance. Color shrimp pink, tinted chrome yellow shading 
deeper at the base of the petals, the various shades blending 
very harmoniously, moderately fragrant. 
Sunburst. A very beautiful yellow Rose strongly suffused with 
orange at the centre, buds and developed flowers of good form, 
sweetly scented. 
The Queen Alexandra. A brilliant flower of intense ver- 
milion deeply shaded old gold on reverse of petals, which 
spring from a pure orange base, one of the most remarkable 
color combinations seen in Roses. The flowers are quite full 
and when half blown are bewildering in their beauty, delight- 
fully sweet-scented. 
Una Wallace. In color quite distinct from any other Rose, a 
beautiful soft, even toned cherry-rose without shading. In 
depth, formation, and substance it is faultless, every bloom 
coming perfect, and quite full. It is one of the freest growers 
William F.Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 
Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com 
parable to any other variety. The flowers, which are similar in 
shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all 
stages are at their best in the half expanded flower. These, in expanding, 
are of a soft, silvery shell-pink, at certain stages of development, a golden 
suffusion illuminates the entire flower. 
Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red; suffused with carmine in 
the bud state, and opens to a large, full, handsome flower of a rich shrimp- 
pink, shaded yellow in the centre and flushed carmine-pink towards the 
edges.
