This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). 

 Entirely distinct in coloring and of such strong 

 roljust growth that it should succeed anywhere and 

 produce an abundance of its pretty colored flowers. 

 The buds are long and pointed, the outside of the 

 petals are of cream and blush shaded with orange 

 at the base, the inner face is salmon-pink with 

 golden-orange base; the flowers are moderately 

 double, produced on long stems and sweetly scented. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many 

 Roses raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red 

 variety one of the most valuable. While it has 

 gained great popularity as a winter cut flower, it 

 appears equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered 

 full double flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shad- 

 ing to a deeper pure red as they develop; of strong 

 vigorous and free flowering habit. $75.00 per 100. 



Elizabeth of York (Dobbie & Co., 1927). Beautifully 

 formed long pointed buds of a glowing cerise-red 

 with yellow suffusion at the base; the petals as they 

 unfold spread widely with a splendid reflex ulti- 

 mately showing the stamens. An artistic, dainty, 

 delicately colored flower. $50.00 per 100. 



Emily Dodd (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1927). Very large 

 ovoid bud opening to a very large, full double, high 

 centered, very lasting, slightly fragrant flower of 

 a milky white shaded cream in centre. These are 

 borne singly on strong stems; foliage large, rich 

 green, leathery and disease resistant; growth vigor- 

 ous upright, bushy, of compact habit, a profuse 

 bloomer from June to October; very hardy. $75.00 

 per 100. 



Eve^e^st (Easlea & Sons, 1927). One of the largest 

 Roses yet raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flow- 

 ers of immense size with long broad petals of firm 

 texture, fragrant ivory-white with creamy suffusion 

 and when fully developed resembles a large Peony 

 borne on long stems. While awarded a Gold Medal 

 by the National Rose Society of Rne-iand In 1!*27 as 

 a Hybrid-Tea, it has the characteristics of a vigor- 

 ous growing Hybrid-Perpetual. $50.00 per 100. 



Flamingo (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Very highly 

 recommended by the introducers and awarded the 

 Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of England. 

 Very pretty in bud form; these are long pointed of 

 spiral form but open out quickly to semi-double 

 sweet-scented flowers. Color bright geranium red 

 passing to glowing rosy cerise as the flowers open. 

 A strong, vigorous grower, free and perpetual flow- 

 ering. .$75.00 per 100. 



Golden Dawn, the New Australian M.vliriU-Tea 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Impress 



Gaiety (E. G. Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, 

 developing to a large shapely semi-double, cupped, 

 very lasting flower composed of rufl^led petals which 

 as they unfold show various shades of orange, In- 

 dian red, yellow, and pink or fawn. The plant is 

 of strong, vigorous branching habit, with good 

 healthy foliage and very free flowering. $75.00 per 

 100. 



Gladys Benskln (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). Large 

 long pointed buds and high centered full flowers well 

 built, with heavy, broad, slightly serrated petals.

 cerise over golden yellow, with deep yellow veining, 

 inside bright rose cerise shaded orange, with deeper 

 orange shaded base and ver.\ rich liuity iras'aiice. 

 Vigorous, hardy, free branching upright habit, very 

 free and perpetual flowering. A most distinct, 

 striking and unique novelty that will be gnatly 

 admired. Awarded Certifi<':i ti^ of Mr>rit National 

 Rose Society of England. .$75.00 per 100. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new 

 Rose of Australian origin with which we have been 

 most favorably impressed in our trials durins' the 

 past three years and in which we believe we have an 

 ideal garden Rose of great merit of an exquisite 

 light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovuid 

 form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening 

 and develop into splendidly shaped full double mod- 

 erately fragrant flowers which are of a uniform 

 color, reminding one of the old favorite Marechal 

 Niel and which was suggestive of the name Golden 

 Dawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous upright 

 branching habit, with large glossy healthy green 

 foliage, very free flowering with usually three or 

 more flowers on each branch. $50.00 per 100. 



Grn.ss an Cobiirg- (Felberg, Leclerc, 1927). A promising 

 new variety with brilliant coppery orange red buds 

 and large double, full, very fragrant flowers, of a 

 brilliant combination of fawn, golden yellow and 

 coppery red. A strong healthy grower and a per- 

 petual bloomer. .$.i0.00 per 100. 



Heiiirich Eggers (W. Kordes, 1928). Well shaped long 

 spiral buds and large bold full double high cen- 

 tered flowers of perfect shape. Color an orange 

 tinted pink with yellow shadings at base. Very 

 strong free flowering habit. $125.00 per 100.
