This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Recent Introduction 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Schwabenland 



Sir Henry Segrave (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1932). 

 Large, long', well shaped bud and very large, full, 

 beautiful, high-centered, double flower of a deep 

 lemon yellow shading deeper at base; a free perpet- 

 ual bloomer and sweet scented. $75.00 per 100. 



Swansdoivn (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal 

 white which in the autumn has just a tint of cream 

 at the base of the petals. The bud is large, very 

 long pointed of perfect shape, composed of large 

 heavy petals and develop into splendid full, very 

 sweetly-scented flower of spiral formation. $75.00 

 per 100. 



Victoria Adelheid (Kordes, 1932). Exceptionally large, 

 well-formed, double flowers of a rich golden yellow 

 suffused with vermilion red shading deeper to the 

 edges of the petals. An effective free flowering 

 variety. .$75.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The color 

 of this beautiful variety is quite distinct 

 from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonder- 

 ful dual combination of vivid shades. A 

 beautiful scarlet coppery-orange is heavily 

 flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside of 

 the petals, and these colors together give a 

 rich and almost dazzling effect. The flow- 

 . ers are of large size and beautiful form, and 

 they possess the proper fullness to make 

 them useful for all purposes. They are very 

 freely produced and delicately perfumed. 

 The plant has a vigorous and exceptionally 

 free habit and is one of the best all-purpose 

 varieties. $50.00 per 100. 



Olympiad (Pernet-Ducher, 1931). The color of 

 Olympiad is unique, a lustrous, dark ori- 

 ental-scarlet, its depth and warmth accentu- 

 ated by a bright golden base and is intensi- 

 fied by a marvelous velvety sheen that makes 

 its rich coloring particularly effective, espe- 

 cially under artificial light. 

 The bud is long and pointed, the petals are 

 very broad and the blossom is magnificent 

 in every stage of development. $40.00 per 

 100. 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1930). A 

 Rose that pleases not only on account of 

 its beautiful formation and color but also 

 for its remarkable sweet fragrance, described 

 by its introducer as surpassing any other 

 variety. The bud is long-pointed; the flow- 

 er very large, double, high-centered and 

 unusually long lasting. Color brilliant or- 

 ange-scarlet passing to bright rose towards the 

 edge of the petals; of vigorous habit and free flower- 

 ing. $50.00 per 100. 



Schwabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). There are many pink 

 Roses but none just like this new variety either 

 in color or in the splendid formation of its blooms. 

 The flowers are large, over five inches in diameter, 

 with high spiral center, the petals having a peculiar 

 twist or curl. In color it is a luminous rich rose- 

 pink, retaining its brightness until the petals drop, 

 the flowers are carried singly on long stiff stems. 

 A strong, healthy, hardy, vigorous grower and free 

 flowering. $40.00 per 100. 



Vaterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark 

 colored variety yet introduced, deeper and richer in 

 effect than the Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince 

 Camille de Rohan; a rich, deep, velvety scarlet 

 maroon and a splendidly formed, high-centered 

 flower of remarkable keeping qualities. The plant 

 is of vigorous strong erect habit with healthy 

 foliage and free and perpetual flowering; unques- 

 tionablv the best of this tvpe that has yel come to 

 our notice. $40.00 per 100.
