New Hybrid-T 
e John Russell 
John Russell. A handsome brilliant red Rose; a rich deep 
velvety crimson of very large exhibition type, beautiful both 
in bud as well as in the fully expanded very double flowers. 
Strong vigorous grower, delicately sweet scented. $1.50 each. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. A Rose of unique color, the flowers 
in the young stage are a deep sunflower yellow heavily veined 
splashed with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply 
suffused with carmine, as the flowers develop these colors inter- 
mingle forming a beautiful cadmium orange effect. The bud is 
long and pointed, opening to a full double flower, of pleasing 
decorative form of delightfully sweet scent. $2.00 each. 
Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of 
McGredy & Sons. Large brilliantly-colored double flowers of an 
entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 
lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, very 
free flowering; light spicy fragrance. $2.00 each. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. One of the finest Roses yet intro- 
duced. We have in this variety a most distinct and valuable 
addition, of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of even 
tone that passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this attractive 
color does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes 
richer and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into 
a full double flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. 
$2.00 each. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties grown, 
always in flower and perfect in every stage of development. In 
color it is of an intense brilliant pink with lighter salmon pink 
shadings. A model rose in every way. $1.50 each. 
Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into 
wonderful flowers of immense size are produced 
singly on well-foliaged strong canes freely through- 
out the season. The flowers are composed of very 
substantial broad petals which curl back prettily 
forming a glorious long pointed bud and a full 
double flower which is beautiful in every stage of 
development. Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du 
Barri pink; strongly sweet-scented. $1.50 each. 
Prank Reader. A large massive flower with high pointed 
centre with nicely reflexing petals of great substance, the 
long buds in first developing are a light lemon-yellow, while 
the flowers in their half-expanded form reveal a heart of 
golden apricot; it has a delicious rose apple scent. A vigor- 
ous grower and free bloomer. $1.50 each. 
Lady Florence Stronge. An entirely new, distinct and novel 
color; a reddish prawn to violet old rose shading to yellow at 
the base and pink towards the edge, the inner surface of the 
petals heavily veined and flushed scarlet, the flowers are large, 
full with high centres and fragrant. Vigorous in growth and free 
flowering. $1.50 each. 
Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 
form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-rsd 
stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 
flowers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in late sum- 
mer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 
beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that has deservedly 
gained great popularity. $1.50 each. 
Sir David Davis. As this variety has shown up in the fields 
during the past two seasons, we do not hesitate to select it as 
one of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep 
glowing crimson of an even shade throughout running to light 
yellow at the base of petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed 
and of good form with large, heavy petals and strongly sweet 
scented. $1.50 each. 
Ville de Paris {City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup 
yellow without a trace of any other color, retaining its richness 
under all weather conditions. In formation it is somewhat 
similar to Radiance, fairly double and splendid for cutting. 
Habit upright, and tall, a profuse bloomer. Awarded much- 
coveted Gold Medal at the trials at Bagatelle Rose Gardens, 
Paris, 1925. $1.50 each. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a 
rich capucine red with coppery suffusion overlaying a golden- 
salmon ground, varying in intensity under different weather 
conditions, but always beautiful and particularly high colored 
early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening to double high-centered very fragrant flowers. 
Habit compact but vigorous, very free flowering. $1.50 each. 
We will supply one strong two-year-old plant of the above Gold Medal Collection of New Varieties 
amounting at single rates to $19.50; the set of twelve for $15.00.
