 flowering. $00.00 per 100.

 A variety of outstanding merit. Of strong, vigorous, 

 upright, branching habit with good healthy foliage 

 and very prolific flowering. Flowers delightfully 

 fragrant. Long pointed buds with deep substantial 

 petals, in color a brilliant carmine-pink. $75.00 

 per 100. 



Lord Charlemont (McGredy, 1922). Although in- 

 troduced some seven years since, this beauti- 

 ful variety is still very scarce. It is the most 

 gorgeous and brilliant dark red Rose we have 

 with flowers of the most intense clear chim- 

 son-scarlet, deepening to carmine-crimson 

 with almost black shadings with perfectly 

 shaped long pointed buds and large, full 

 double, sweetly scented flowers. Free grow-

 ceptional richness and beauty. $75.00 per 100.

 cup-yellow, each individual petal being heav- 

 ily margined carmine-scarlet, the buds are 

 long opening to large semi-double flowers, a 

 strong vigorous grower and free flowering 

 with strong" fruity odor. $75.00 per 100. 



Mabel Morne (McGredy, 1921). Not as large a 

 flower as Souvenir de Claudius Pernot, but a 

 most beautifully shaped long bud which de- 

 velops into a handsome good-sized flower of 

 the richest clear, bright golden-yellow. It is 

 a strong, vigorous grower, very free-flower- 

 ing with rich glo.ssy foliage. i^OO.OO per 100. 



Margaret McGredy (McGredy & Soils, 1928). Wo con- 

 sider this one of McGredy's most brilliantly colored 

 masteriJieces, large, beautifully shaped full double 

 fiower.s, entirely distinct from all others in its rich 

 (•oloring, which is a brilliant shade of Turkish or- 

 Oriental red. passing as the flowers age to a beau- 

 tiful carmine-rose, these are borne on long stiff 

 stems and hold their form and beauty for a long 

 time. StJOO.OO per 100. 



John Russell (Dobbie & Co., 1924). One of the hand- 

 somest red Roses, beautiful both in bud and In the 

 fully expanded flower. We have always been 

 pleased with this Rose and everyone admires It for 

 its splendid form and rich color, a very large double 

 flower of a brilliant deep velvety crimson, the 

 growth is exceptionally strong, vigorous and hardy. 

 Awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England. .'$00.00 per 100. 



J. Otto Thilow (Verschuren & Sons, 1927). This va- 

 riety was named in memory of our late Mr. Thilow. 

 It is a rich, glowing rose-pink of exceptional merit 

 with long, pointed buds of perfect formation as the 

 flowers expand, the petals reflex forming a beautiful 

 large double high centered flower. It is a very 

 strong grov.er with clean, healthy foliage and a 

 continuous profuse bloomer, a grand garden rose In 

 every respect. $7.'.00 per 100. 



Jules GaiLlard (Pernet-Ducher, 192S). Offered for the 

 first time this year. Moderately long-ovoid but of a 

 distinct cochineal crimson with glistening golden 

 suffusion, which, as the large well formed double 

 flowers mature gradually passes to a very pleasing 

 shade of orange rose. A distinct vigorous grower 

 and very free flowering. $73.00 per 100. 



Julien Potiu (The Golden Pernet). This is one of 

 Mr. Pernet's latest achievements which will probably 

 become better known as The Golden Pernet. It is 

 unquestionably the most gorgeous and brilliant 

 yellow rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow that 

 grows richer and deeper as the flowers mature. The 

 buds are long and shapely and develop into large, 

 full flowers of beautiful form, delightfully sweet- 

 scented. Habit of growth upright with ample, at- 

 tractive, glossv, bronzy-green foliage, very free- 

 flowering. $125.00 per 100. 



Lady Florence Stronge (McGredy, 1925). 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 flow- 

 ers are large, full with high centres and fragrant. 

 Vigorous in growth and free-flowering. $60.00 per 

 100.
