This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



JIvbrid-Tea Rose, Lucie Marie 

 (Described on page 50) 



James Gibson (McGredy & Son, 1928). A glorious glowing 

 crimson-scarlet with velvety sheen, imparting a lustrous radi- 

 ance to the large, full, beautifully formed flowers of which every 

 bloom develops to perfection. Its habit of growth is as near 

 perfect as could be desired, being free, bushy, upright and vigor- 

 ous and the flowers which are borne profusely all the season, are 

 carried erect on long stems with good disease resistant foliage. 

 A brilliant rose of exceptional beauty. $1.50 each. 



Jarvisbrook (Stuart Low, 1928). A splendid large full flower of 

 a most dainty and effective color combination, carmine witli 

 orange reverse to petal. It is sweetly scented, of vigorous, up- 

 right, branching, healthy habit of growth and remarkably free 

 flowering throughout the season. A meritorious Rose in every 

 respect. $1.50 each. 



J. C. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most brilliant bright glowing 

 scarlet crimson with buds of exquisite form and fine, full, well- 

 shaped high-centered flowers of great substance, borne singly on 

 long strong stems; of vigorous, free, growth. It may prove to 

 be our best red bedding variety. A Gold Medal Rose of great 

 importance. $1.50 each. 



Joanna Hill (J. H. Hill Co., 1928). This new yellow has gained 

 a well merited reputation as a winter cut flower and from our 

 observations during the past two seasons, we believe it will prove 

 equally valuable and meritorious for the garden. The buds are 

 large, long pointed and open to large, full, semi-double, attrac- 

 tive, long lasting, moderately fragrant flowers of a clear yellow 

 with orange yellow heart. They are borne singly on long strong 

 stems; growth vigorous, upright, a profuse bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Joan Cant (Cant, 1929). Reminds in form of the old favorite 



Abel Chatenay. Buds very large, long pointed, opening to very 

 large, full double, well-formed, long lasting, intensely fragrant 

 flowers of a pretty shade of salmon pink at the centre, shading 

 brighter on the outside of the petals; the flowers are borne several 

 together on long strong stems; growth vigorous, large light green, 

 disease-resistant leathery foliage. A strong vigorous bushy 

 grower, a profuse continuous bloomer and very hardy. $2.50 

 each. 



Jules Gaujard (Pernet-Ducher, 1928). Distinct and beautiful, 

 the large, well-formed double flowers on first opening are of a 

 glistening cochineal crimson which, as they fully develop, pass 

 to a pretty shade of orange-rose. It is of strong, vigorous, 

 branching habit, very free flowering and a variety that we are 

 convinced wiU become a greatly admired garden Rose. $1.50 

 each. 



Konigin Luise (Queen Luise) (Weigand, 1927). An exception- 

 ally large, full double, globular, weU built double white flower 

 that lasts a long time. Of strong vigorous habit of growth with 

 good healthy foliage. The flowers are carried erect on strong 

 stiff stems. A splendid Rose for the garden and for cutting. 

 $2.50 each. 



Lady Barnby (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Beautifully formed 

 flowers very much on the type of Mrs. Henry Bowles, a variety 

 that is a favorite with us, it being one of our most reliable bed- 

 ding varieties, but Lady Barnby differs in color, it being a lovely 

 shade of clear rose pink. The plant is of excellent habit, strong 

 vigorous growth and very free flowering and sweetly scented. 

 See illustration back cover of this catalogue. $1.50 each. 



Lady Porteviot (B. R. Cant, 1928). A garden Rose that we 

 confidently recommend. Large ovoid buds opening to very 

 large, moderately double artistic well lasting flowers of delightful 

 fruity fragrance of a bright golden yellow flushed with cardinal 

 red, borne several together on long strong stems. Growth 

 vigorous, healthy dark green glossy foliage, a hardy continuous 

 bloomer. Awarded Gold Medal of National Rose Society of 

 England. $1.50 each.
