Twelve Great 
Hybrid-Tea Novelties 
Dame Edith Helen (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1926). The most 
valuable Garden Rose introduced in many years. The 
plant possesses a strong, vigorous constitution, the flowers 
are produced singly on well foliaged strong canes through- 
out the season, these are of immense size, composed of 
very substantial broad petals which curl back prettily form- 
ing a wonderful long pointed bud which develops into a full 
double flower, which is absolutely perfect in every stage of 
development. The color is a brilliant, yet soft Rose du Barri 
pink and is delightfully and strongly sweet scented. $1.50 each. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough (McGredy & Son, 1927). Unques- 
tionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out. Pink sounds un- 
interesting in a new Rose, there being so many of this shade, but 
in this new variety we have a most distinct and valuable addition 
of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an even tone 
passing to yellow at the base of the petals. The color does not 
fade as the flower ages, but appears to become brighter. The 
bud is long and perfect and develops into a full double flower of 
great size, model form and substance; very fragrant. $2.00 each. 
Frank Reader (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). A large massive 
flower with high pointed centre with nicely reflexing petals of 
great substance, the long buds in first developing are a light 
lemon-yellow, while the flowers in their half-expanded form 
reveal a heart of golden apricot; it has a delicious rose apple 
scent. A vigorous grower and free bloomer. $1.50 each. 
J. Otto Thilow (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). This variety 
was named in memory of our late Mr. Thilow. It is a rich 
glowing rose-pink of exceptional merit with long pointed buds 
of perfect formation, as the flowers expand, the petals reflex 
forming a beautiful large double high centred flower. It is a 
very strong grower with clean healthy foliage and a continuous 
profuse bloomer, a grand garden Rose. $1.50 each. 
Lady Margaret Stewart (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1926). A 
Rose of unique and distinct color, the flowers in the young 
stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined and splashed 
with orange-scarlet with the reverse of the petals deeply suffused 
with carmine, as the flowers develop these colors intermingle 
forming a most beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is 
long and pointed, opening to a full double flower, of most pleas- 
ing decorative form of delightfully sweet scent. $2.00 each. 
Margaret McGredy (McGredy & Son, 1928). One of McGredy’s 
most brilliantly colored masterpieces, large, beautifully shaped 
full double flowers, entirely distinct from all others in its rich 
coloring, which is a brilliant shade of Turkish or Oriental red, 
passing as the flowers age to a beautiful carmine-rose, these are 
borne on long stiff stems and hold their form and beauty for a 
long time. $2.00 each. 
Marion Cran (McGredy, 1928). A wonderful color combination, 
the buds on the reverse are of a deep buttercup yellow margined 
and flushed cerise, as the flowers cevelop, they oren to a bril- 
liant geranium red veined orange and yellow. $2.00 each. 
Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In vigorous 
habit of growth, freedom of bloom and in its adaptability to 
varied climatic conditions, this will prove equal to the popular 
Radiance Roses, while its flowers in size and form are equal to 
the best high-class varieties of recent introduction and all of 
which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its buds are long 
and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers frequently 5 
inches across of a brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals 
having a golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers unfold, 
adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $2.50 each. 
LO» 
New Hysrin-Tea Rose, Mrs. ErSKINE PEMBROKE THOM 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. Without question the best 
yellow bedding rose we have today. It is of clean vigorous 
healthy growth with abundant dark bronzy green disease resist- 
ing foliage, and a continuous and free bloomer. The buds are 
of medium size, long and shapely, and develop into good sized, 
full double, very shapely perfect flowers of a rich deep lemon 
yellow, sweetly scented. $2.00 each. 
Mrs. Lovell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). A remarkably 
vigorous grower, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely 
buds with nicely reflexing petals that develop into good double 
flowers. The color of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at 
base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. The developed flowers 
are also salmon-pink deepening toward the centre. Delightfully 
tea scented. $1.50 each. 
Patience. A brilliantly colored variety, the long buds a rich 
scarlet carmine lake which as they expand show a deep orange 
base shading to orange scarlet. The flowers are of good size, 
very fragrant and very freely produced. $2.00 each. 
Monsieur Julien Potin. This is Mr. Pernet’s latest achieve- 
ment which will probably become better known as ‘“The Golden 
Pernet.” It is unquestionably the most gorgeous and brilliant 
yellow Rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow that grows 
richer and deeper as the flowers mature. The buds are long and 
shapely, and develop into large, full flowers of beautiful form, 
delightfully sweet-scented. Habit of growth upright with ample, 
attractive, glossy, bronzy-green foliage, very free-flowering. 
$2.50 each.
