POT-GROWN GARDEN ROSES 



FOR MID-SUMMER PLANTING 



We are again able to offer a splendid lot of strong two-year-old pot-grown Roses in prime condition for summer planting. 



By planting now you not only gain practically a full season's growth, but, if conditions are at all favorable, you will secure a 

 fair amount of flowers at once and during the fall, and if the cultural notes on page 170 of this year's Garden Book are followed 

 you will be laying the foundation for a grand display of flowers next spring and summer. This, while it holds true on all the 

 various types of Roses, is particularly the case with the Hybrid-Tea varieties, which, on account of their remarkable free flowering 

 qualities and comparative hardiness, have given a new impetus to Rose planting with most gratifying results. 



The plants which we supply at the present time are all strong two-year-old plants in five-inch pots in such condition that if 

 given any chance at all, will give quick and satisfactory returns. 



Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 



For Garden culture the Hybrid-Tea Roses have now taken the foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing the free- 

 flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only 

 the free-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness. 



The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to this 

 class of Rose, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is every color known in Roses now represented, but 

 there are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other types. 



Circe (Wm. Paul & Sons, 1917) . Handsome, elongated buds, developing 

 into splendid large and full flowers of flesh-white shaded carmine, the 

 base of the petals deep yellow. $2.50 each. 



Colleen (McGredy, 1915). Brilliant rose, shaded rose-pink with 

 deeper rose-crimson veneering on a distinct creamy-yellow ground, 

 never fading until the petals drop. It is quite 

 full with high pointed centre, forming a remarkably 

 sweet- scented flower. 75 cts. each. 

 Duchess of Westminster (Dickson & Sons, 

 1911). A peerless Tea-like Rose. The blooms are 

 very large, full and perfectly formed, with high 

 pointed centre. Very sweetly perfumed. The 

 color is a dainty clear rose-madder. The growth is vig- 

 orous, erect and of very free-flowering habit. 75 cts. each. 



Ecariate (Boytard, 1907). Produces only medium-sized 

 flowers, but is such a brilliant scarlet in color that it pleases, 

 everybody, and we count it among the best bedding varieties 

 60 cts. each. 

 Edgar H. Burnett (McGredy, 1915). Very large, full 

 flowers of splendid form, with large flesh-colored petals 

 tinted rose; one of the sweetest scented Roses in existence. 

 75 cts. each. 

 Edward Boliane (Dickson & Sons, 1916). The brilliant 

 velvety crimson- scarlet is sure to command attention for this 

 beautiful large well-formed flower, which is freely borne on 

 strong erect stems and which is delightfully fragrant. $1.25 

 each. 

 Etoile de France (Pernet-Ducher, 1905). Color vivid 

 crimson with darker shadings; very double, of large size and 

 deliciously scented. 60 cts. each. 

 Florence Haswell Veitcli (Paul & Son, 1911). An en- 

 tirely distinct brilliant scarlet, with black shadings; very 

 fragrant. 60 cts. each. 

 General MacArthur (E. G. Hill, 1905). As an all-round 

 garden Rose, there is no variety of its color — a rich crimson 

 scarlet — which will give equal satisfaction; a clean, healthy, 

 vigorous grower, producing its sweetly-.scented flowers of 

 good form in great profusion. 60 cts. each. 

 General Superior Arnold Janssen (Leenders, 1912). In 

 our trial grounds this has shown up most satisfactorily, its 

 finely formed long buds are of an effective, deep, glowing 

 carmine, and make a splendid long-stemmed cut flower. 60 

 cts. each. 

 George Dickson (Dickson & Sons, 1913). Of vigorous 

 growth, and produces huge blooms quite five inches across, 

 while its huge leathery shell-shaped petals have wonderful 

 lasting qualities. The color is velvety black scarlet crimson 

 with Ijrilliant scarlet reflexed tips. 60 cts. each. 

 George C. Waud (Dickson & Sons, 1908). A beautiful 

 variety, possessing an entirely distinct color — a glowing ver- 

 milion with orange-red suffusion. The flowers are large, full, 

 of perfect form and highly tea-scented. The plant is of mod- 

 erately vigorous growth and very free-flowering. 60 cts.

 son-red, shaded fiery red; large globular flowers with curved 

 petals; growth vigorous, of desirable spreading habit. 75 

 cts. each. 



Arthur R. Goodwin (Pemet-Ducher, 1909). A beautifully 

 rich-colored coppery-orange; "gold of ophir," a visitor to 

 our trial grounds very correctly called it who saw it in one of 

 its stages of development; as the flower matures it opens to a 

 soft salmon-pink; a good, full flower, very free and distinct. 

 60 cts. each. 



Brilliant (Hugh Dickson, 1915). The most intense scarlet; 

 one of the brightest colors yet achieved in Roses; of free 

 branching upright growth; clean, handsome foliage. 75 cts. 

 each.

 popular and valuable bedding varieties, large, full, globular 

 flowers of bright saliny-rose, with brighter centre; very free 

 and fragrant. 60 cts. each. 



Chateau De Clos Vougeot (Pemet-Ducher, 1908). An 

 ideal Rose, of a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, shaded 

 fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers ex- 

 pand; it blooms continuously throughout the season. 60 cts. 

 each.
