While our old customers are familiar with the high grade of Roses which we send out, we wish to direct the attention of those who 

 have never planted our stock, to the manner in which these plants are prepared. All our Roses are strong two-year-old, field-grown, 

 budded or grafted plants and in fall are carefully dug, planted in pots and stored in cold greenhouses or cold frames, where artificial heat 

 is used only to exclude the most severe frost. During the latter part of March or before the first of April, these potted plants are moved 

 to beds in the open air where they receive no further protection. Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and are not 

 only superior to stock which has been developed into full growth under glass, but also better for spring planting, than plants which have 

 been carried in cellars or in cold storage, under any method known to us. 



This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Abol (F. Evans, 1927). No other white and but very few colored 

 varieties have such a delightful sweet perfume as this free 

 flowering white. Before the flowers are fully expanded the 

 centre petals are sometimes lightly tinted pink passing to pure 

 white. A gem with good shapely bud and full double flower 

 produced on long stems." $1.50 each. 

 Betty Suttor (McGredy & Son, 1929). Exquisite both in bud 

 and fully developed flower, a great advance over the old favorite 

 Mme. Abel Chatenay, long shapely bud and moderately large 

 full double high centered flower of tea perfume. In color the 

 inside of the petals are of delicate rosy pink, the outside a bright 

 rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a delightful retlecting of 

 the petals which enhance the beauty of the pink tones by bring- 

 ing each into bolder relief. Strong vigorous healthy growth and 

 very free. $1.50 each. 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long pointed 

 conical buds with the edges of the outer petals gracefully rolled 

 back; flowers very large and full double, high centre, slightly 

 fragrant and borne singly on long strong stems. Color, 

 when first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to a 

 pure white as the flowers develop. Habit very erect, of 

 vigorous constitution, dark green disease-resistant 

 foliage, and a continuous free bloomer; a fine garden 

 Rose. $1.50 each. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwi+h & Sons, 1926). A brilliant 

 distinct and striking novelty which we know will appeal 

 to and please every Rose lover. The buds are long 

 pointed of perfect shape, opening to high centered per- 

 fectly formed full dovible flowers of a rich and brilliant 

 Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing scarlet. A 

 vigorous grower; very free flowering and sweetly tea- 

 scented. $1.50 each. 



Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925). An appropriate name for a 

 daintily colored and well formed single flower, 3 j inches 

 in diameter, composed of delicately crinkled and wavy 

 petals of a pleasing shade of shell pink with a conspicuous 

 bunch of crimson stamens. The flowers last well when 

 cut and are charming when displayed in individual vases. 

 A strong, vigorous grower and profuse flowering. $1.50 

 each. 



DorinaNeave(Pemberton, 1926). A meritorious bedding 

 Rose of a delightful silvery pink with large, full, pointed, 

 globular, fragrant flowers carried erect on stiff stems. 

 Plant of strong, bushy, compact habit. $1.50 each. 



Dr. Andrew Carnegie (Ferguson, 1927). A sport 

 from the well known Mrs. Henry Morse, identical in 

 every way except in co'or, which is of a light silvery 

 pink with deeper reflex, yellowish at base. A strong 

 vigorous grower and very free. $1.50 each. 



Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). A 

 variety that will charm every lover of a real good 

 Rose. Its color is fascinating, the margin of the 

 petals being a delicate tint of shrimp pink gradually 

 merging to a deep salmon-orange towards the base of the 

 artisticaOy reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full 

 flower, that has good lasting qualities. The habit of the 

 plant is ideal, upright, strong and free flowering, with 

 very healthy foliage. $1.50 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 

 attractive in the bud and open state, growth vigorous, a 

 free and continuous profuse bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). Entirely 

 distinct in coloring and of such strong robust growth that it 

 should succeed anywhere and produce an abundance of its 

 pretty colored flowers. The buds are long and pointed, the 

 outside of the petals are of cream and blush shaded with orange 

 at the base, the inner face is salmon-pink with golden-orange 

 base; the flowers are moderately double, produced on long stems 

 and sweetly scented. $1.50 each.
