Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). A novelty which on 

 account of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double 

 flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first 

 unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop 

 into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good 

 shape and which are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused with 

 a luminous golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous upright 

 grower and exceptionally free flowering. $1.50 each. 



Ivy May (Beckwith & Son, 1925). One of the most attractive 

 varieties of Ophelia type. Color a pretty rose pink running to 

 amber at the base, flushed with gold on the outside and at the 

 edges of the petals; glowing and sparkling. Buds of medium 

 size, long pointed and shapely, opening to fairly double, well- 

 formed, sweetly-scented flowers on long strong stems. Habit

 splendid garden Rose and a beautiful cut-flower. Awarded

I. Zingari (J. H. Pemberton, 1925). The most vivid shade of 

 orange scarlet that one can picture, rich and glowing; while 

 the flowers are only semi-double it always attracts attention on 

 account of its rich color and is worthy of a place in every garden. 

 It blooms profusely and continuously, usually in sprays of 

 several blooms; the glossy dark green foliage accentuates its 

 vivid color. $1.50 each.

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

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

 posed of ruffled 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. §1.50 each. 



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

 Australian origin with which we have been most favorably im- 

 pressed in our trials during the past three years and in which we 

 believe we have an ideal garden Rose of great merit of an ex- 

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

 heavily splashed with crimson before opening and develop into 

 splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant flowers which 

 are of a uniform color, reminding one of the old favorite Marechal 

 Niel and which was suggestive of the name Golden Dawn. The 

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

 glossy healthy green foliage, verj' free flowering with usually 

 three or more flowers on each branch. $1.50 each. 



Gruss an Cobtirg (Felberg, Leclerec, 1927). A promising new 

 variety with brilliant copperj' orange red buds and large double, 

 full, vsry fragrant flowers, of a brilliant combination of fawn, 

 golden yellow and coppery red. A strong healthy grower and a 

 perpetual bloomer. $1.50 each.

 buds and large bold full double high centered flowers of perfect 

 shape. Color an orange tinted pink with yellow shadings at 

 base. Very strong free flowering habit. $2.50 each.
