This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses Continued 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct color combi- 

 nation that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep chrome- 

 yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet 

 merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon- 

 orange suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The 

 flowers are of medium size and form, deliglitfully fragrant and 

 free-flowering. A splendid bedder. $1.00 each. 

 *Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of recent 

 introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds are of a deep 

 scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms 

 that shade from orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine 

 at the edges. It is of strong robust habit with glossy holly-like 

 foliage and extremely free flowering for a Rose of its large size. 

 $1.00 each. 



Polly (Beck with, 1927). A splendid Rose of the Ophelia type 

 that will become a general favorite. Buds long and of perfect 

 shape, the centre golden j'ellow passing to a tender flushed pink 

 towards the edges; as the large full fine flowers develop the 

 golden base comes well up on the petals, the outer petals pass to a 

 creamy white with just the faintest touch of pink. A strong 

 healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly scented. $1.50 each. 



Portadown (JMcGredy, 1928). A deep crimson with velvety 

 sheen having large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding 

 one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when at its best. 

 Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous free bloomer with dark 

 green foliage. SI -50 each. 



Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are orange- 

 yellow on the outside, with a ricli cerise flush that deepens to- 

 wards the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 

 cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm 

 tone to the whole flower, which is of moderate size, good form 

 and thick texture of petals. They are very freely and continu-. 

 i)u-ly produced and are fragrant. $1.50 each. 



Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). A model flower, a creamy 

 white of soft and delicate tone that merges into a light yellow 

 base, a color section in which there has been little or no develop- 

 ment in recent years. It is free and perpetual flowering. $2.50 each. 



Rosella Sweet (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid bud 

 developing to a splendid large, well-formed, attractive flower 

 of a luminous capucine yellow, with delicate salmon pink 

 suffusion and of strong delicious fragrance. The fine flowers 

 are borne singly on strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigorous 

 upright habit with healthy dark green glossy foliage. $1 .50 each.

Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- 

 velously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not 

 found in any other variety, a most striking blending of dark 

 vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with fre- 

 quently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The 

 sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect formation both 

 in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. $1.50 each. 



Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This splendid 

 Rose in the formation of its large, full flowers, strong, vigorous, 

 healthy growth and freedom of flowering reminds one of the 

 same raiser's popular bedding variety. Souvenir de Georges 

 Pernet, excepting in color which is much lighter, being a pretty 

 shrimp or coral pink on an Orange-copper base. $1.50 each. 



Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1931). An outstanding 

 this year's introduction of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color 

 a bright coppery red in the very long, shapely tapering bud that 

 develops into a large full double flower of an exquisite opalescent 

 salmon pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, free and con- 

 tinuous bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). 'Very large long pointed bud develop- 

 ing into large doul^le high centered flowers, very lasting, of a

 long pointed shapely buds and very large full double cupped

 is certain to become popular and which will displace all others 

 of a similar shade of color. $1.50 each.
