This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). A model flower, in color a 

 creamy white of soft and delicate tone that merges into a light 

 yellow base, really a color section in which there has been little 

 or no development in recent years and in which this new variety 

 will prove a valuable addition. It is free and perpetual flowering 

 with very dark green healthy foHage which provides a rich 

 contrast to the flowers which are borne on long stout stems. 

 The plant is of vigorous constitution and free habit. Awarded 

 Gold Medal of National Rose Society of England. $2.50 each. 



President Hoover (L. B. Coddington, 1930). <A glorious Rose, 

 wonderfully free in the easy manner in which it grows and 

 charming in its color arrangement which is a splendid com- 

 bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow; this combina- 

 tion of colors gives the most dazzling color effect imaginable. 

 The buds are beautifully pointed, the flowers large, composed of 

 broad thick heavy petals, with an e.xquisite fragrance. It is 

 exceptionally free flowering and es'eryone wiU be delighted with 

 its habit of growth. Awarded the Gold jNIedal at the interna- 

 tional "Flower Show in New York, 1929. §1.50 each. 



Rosella (Pemet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid bud developing to 

 a splendid large, well-formed, attractive flower of a luminous 

 capucine yellow, with delicate salmon pink suffusion and of 

 strong dehcious fragrance. The fine flowers are borne singly on 

 strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigorous upright habit with 

 healthy dark green glossy fohage. §1.50 each. 



New Htbrid-Tea Rose. Jut-ien Potin 

 The Golden Pernei 



Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of 

 very recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds 

 are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant 

 double perfect blooms that shade from orange at the base of 

 the petals to rich carmine at the edges. It is of strong robust 

 habit with glossy hoUy-like foliage and extremely free 

 flowering for a Rose of its large size. §1.00 each. 



Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the Opheha 

 type that we feel confident will become a general favorite. 

 Buds long and of perfect shape, the centre golden yellow 

 passing to a tender flushed pink towards the edges; as the 

 large fuU fine flowers develop the golden base comes well up 

 on the petals, the outer petals pass to a creamy white with 

 just the faintest touch of pink. A strong healthy grower and 

 free bloomer. Sweetly scented. §1.50 each. 



Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most 

 enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crimson with velvety 

 sheen which they describe as having large, full, beautifully 

 formed flowers, re min ding one in perfection of shape of Mrs. 

 Henry Morse when at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a 

 continuous free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of 

 Merit National Rose Society, England. §1.50 each. 



Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are orange- 

 yellow on the outside, with a rich cerise flush that deepens to- 

 wards the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 

 cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm 

 tone to the whole flower, which is of moderate size, good form 

 and thick texture of petal. They are very freely and continu- 

 ously produced and are fragrant. A Rose that has only to be 

 seen to be admired. Certificate of Merit of National Rose 

 Society, England. §1.50 each.
