E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it is equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 

 flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper red as 

 they develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit 

 Sl.SO each. 



Elizabeth of York (Dobbie & Co., 1927). 

 Beautifully formed long pointed buds of a 

 glowing cerise-red with yellow suffusion 

 at the base; the petals as they unfold 

 spread widely with a splendid reflex 

 ultimately showing the stamens. An 

 artistic, dainty, delicately colored flower. 

 $1.50 each. 



Emily Dodd (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1927). 

 Large ovoid bud opening to a very large, 

 full double, high centered, very last- 

 ing, slightly fragrant flower of a milky 

 white shaded cream in centre. These are 

 borne singly on strong stems; foliage 



large, rich green, leathery and disease resistant; growth vigorous 

 upright, bushy, of compact habit, a profuse bloomer from June 

 to October; very hardy. SI. 50 each. 



Everest (Easlea '& Sons, 1927). One of the largest Roses yet 

 raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flowers of immense size with 

 long broad petals of firm texture, fragrant ivory-white with 

 creamy suffusion and when fully developed resembles a large 

 Peony borne on long stems. While awarded a Gold Medal by 

 the National Rose Society of England in 1927 as a Hybrid-Tea, 

 it has the characteristics of a vigorous growing Hybrid-Perpetual. 

 $1.00 each. 



Evert Van Dyk (G. A. Van Rossem, 1931). With the many good 

 pink Roses now in cultivation the standard to induce us to 

 offer a new variety is naturaUy placed high, and we are con- 

 vinced that in this new Dutch variety, which Jias been named 

 by the introducer in honor of one of the sponsors of the trans- 

 oceanic flight of the "Southern Cross," that we have a variety, 

 which in its color and superior habits, we can recommend with 

 full confidence. $1.50 each. 



The plant is an exceptionally strong grower, a free and con- 

 tinuous bloomer, with very shapely buds and high-centered, full 

 double flower and good upright habit of growth. In color it is a 

 luminous rose pink, with a delicate touch of salmon, retaining its 

 color even in the most unfavorable weather. SI. 50 each. 



Flamingo (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Very pretty in bud 

 form: these are long pointed of spiral form but open out quickly 

 to semi-double sweet-scented flowers. Color bright geranium 

 red passing to glowing rosy cerise as the flowers open. A strong, 

 vigorous grower, free and perpetual flowering. SI. 50 each. 



Gaiety (E. G.Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, developing 

 to a large shapely semi-double, cupped, very lasting flower com- 

 posed of ruflied petals which as they unfold show various shades 

 of orange, Indian red, yellow, and pink or fawn. The plant is 

 of strong, vigorous branching habit, with good healthy foliage 

 and very free flowering. SI -50 eaclr. 



Gladys Benskin (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Large long 

 pointed buds and high centered full flowers well built, with 

 heavy, broad, slightly serrated petals. Color very distinct, the 

 reverse of the petals salmon cerise over golden yellow, with deep 

 yellow veining, inside bright rose cerise shaded orange, with 

 deeper orange shaded base and very rich fruity fragrance. 

 Vigorous, hardy, free branching upright habit, very free and 

 perpetual flowering. $1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent Rose of Austral- 

 ian origin in which we have an ideal garden variety of an 

 exquisite light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of ovoid form, 

 heavily splashed with crimson before opening and develop into 

 splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant flowers. The 

 plant is of strong, vigorous upright branching habit, with large 

 healthy green foliage, very free flowering with usually three or 

 more flowers on each branch. $1.50 each.
