NEW HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



We offer this season the greatest and choicest collection of really worth while new varieties that we have ever had the pleasure of 

 offering 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 th^m 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.

most intense fiery scarlet with golden sheen opening to moderately double 



blooms of an attractive and distinct rosy-scarlet. Strong branching habit

and absolutely distinct from any variety yet introduced. It

a rich golden-apricot passing to a delicate blush-pink as the 



flowers develop. $1.50 each. 



Irish Courage (:McGredy, 1927). A splendid addition to the 



list of bi-colored Roses, the color being a soft shrimp-pink 



merging to salmon in the fully expanded petals, the whole

pronounced at the centre of the flower. Growth and frag- 



j ranee moderate. SI. 50 each.

 vigorous growth with good foliage, and a free and continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each.

 scarlet; a vigorous grower and very free-flowering. $1.50 each. 

 John Russell (Dobbie & Co., 1924). A Gold Medal variety raised in 

 Scotland, with which we have been greatly pleased; a strong, vigorous, 

 upright grower. Its flowers are large, very full and double, of perfect 

 form, and of a rich, brilliant shade of deep velvety-crimson. $1.50 each. 

 Lady Dizon Hartland (Cant & Sons, 1923). Long pointed shapely 

 buds and large flowers, deep salmon-pink at centre shading to 

 lighter pink at the edges, very free and sweetly scented. $1.50 each.

 the flowers are large, fviU with high centres and fragrant. 

 Vigorous in growth and free flowering. SI. 50 each. 

 Lady Mary Elizabeth (Alex Dickson & Sons, 1927). A 

 variety of outstanding merit that will be appreciated in the 

 garden and for cutting. The plant is of strong vigorous, upright, 

 branching habit with good healthy foliage and very prolific 

 flowering. The delightfully fragrant flowers are carried on long 

 stiff stems, the buds are very shapely, long pointed, and open 

 to blooms of moderate fullness, with broad deep substantial

 still very scarce. It is the most gorgeous and brilliant dark 

 red Rose we have with flowers of the most intense clear crimson- 

 scarlet, deepening to carmine-crimson with almost black 

 shadings -svith perfectly shaped long pointed buds and large, 

 fuU double, sweetly scented flowers. A splendid Rose of 

 exceptional richness and beauty. $1.50 each.

 each individual petal being heavily margined carmine-scarlet, 

 the buds are long opening to large semi-double flowers, a strong 

 grower and free flowering with strong fruity odor. $1.50 each. 



Hybrid-tea Rose, Angele Perxet 



Angele Pemet (Pemet-Ducher, 1924). Entirely distinct 

 and novel in color, a vivid orange-yellow shaded fierj' deep 

 reddish-apricot, but "tango color," we believe, describes it 

 better. It is a good grower producing a long bud opening 

 to a moderately full, beautiful sweet scented flower. Awarded 

 Gold :Medal at the Bagatelle Paris trials in 1924. $1.50 each. 



Bedford Crimson (Laxton Bros., 1926). This grand Rose 

 was awarded the Clay Challenge Cup by the Roj'al Horticultural 

 Society of England for the best new Rose with the best Old 

 Rose Scent. Aside from its delightful odor it is unquestionably 

 the most beautiful high colored Rose yet introduced, a bril- 

 liant crimson-scarlet. It is of beautiful form both in the half 

 developed, as well as in the fully expanded bloom, being fvdl 

 double, produced profusely on good stiff stems. S2.00 each. 



Cuba (Pernet-Ducher, 1926). As a bedding Rose for brilliant 

 mass effect we know of nothing that will equal this French 

 introduction and although the flowers are almost single, they 

 possess a charm and brilliancy in color which is an entirely 

 new tone in Roses, a glorious bright vermilion-scarlet overlying 

 an orange ground, this color combination is so intense that in 

 fifll sunlight it glistens with an iridescent sparkle. A vigorous 

 grower with dark green foliage which make a splendid foil for 

 the masses of richly colored blooms which it produces from 

 spring to late fall. SI. 50 each. 



Doris Traylor (McGredy, 1924). Beautiful long buds of a 

 rich brilliant salmon-orange with intense carmine suffusion, 

 large double flowers of splendid form; a strong grower, excep- 

 tionally free-flowering and delightfully scented. $1.50 each.
