This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



The greatest and choicest collection of really worth while new varieties that we have ever had the pleasure of oSering at one time, 

 representing the best efforts of the World's leading Rose hybridizers and showing the most wonderful advance yet made in the Rose family. 



The varieties offered on this and the following pages represent the cream of the novelties of recent years many of them varieties 

 which are now offered for the first time, and in many instances sorts of which we have exclusive control in the United States and Canada 

 this season. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & 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 perfectly formed full double 

 flowers of a rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange 

 and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; very free flowering 

 and sweetly tea-scented. Awarded Gold Medal National Rose 

 Society of England, Spring, 1927. $1.50 each. 



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

 colored and well formed single flower, 3j 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, the flowers being produced on strong branching stems. 

 Awarded the Gold Medal of the National English Rose Society 

 in 1925. $1.50 each. 



Dorina Neave (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 

 color, which is of a light silvery pink with deeper reflex, yellowish 

 at base. A strong vigorous grower and very free. $1.50 each.

Abol (F. Evans, 1927). An exceptionally vigorous growing, very 



free-flowering, new white. No other white variety, and for that 



matter, very few colored varieties, have such a delightful sweet 



perfume as this novelty. In the bud stage and before the 



flowers are fully expanded, the centre petals are sometimes 



tinted with pink on the edges of the petals, passing to pure white 



as the flowers develop. A good shapely bud and full, double, , 



well formed flower produced very freely on long upright stems 



with very few thorns. $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 i^ 



rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a delightful reflecting 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 constitu- 

 tion, dark green disease-resistant foliage, and a continuous Iree 



bloomer; a fine garden Rose. Awarded Gold Medal Scottish 



Rose Society and Certificate of Merit National Rose Society of 



England. $1.50 each.
