formed large double flower, will please every Rose 



lover. The ovoid buds when flrst unfolding are 



cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop into 



very large, full double very perfect blooms that last 



in good shape and which are of a pretty salmon- 

 cerise color suffused with a luminous golden sheen.

exceptionally free flowering. $75.00 per 100.

attractive varieties of Ophelia type. Color a pretty 



rose pink running to amber at the base, flushed 



with gold on the outside and at the edges of the 



petals; glowing and sparkling. Buds of medium 



size, long pointed and shapely, opening to fairly

garden Rose and a beautiful cut-flower. Awarded

 I. Zingari (J. H. Pemberton, 1925). The most vivid 



shade of orange scarlet that one can picture, rich 



and glowing; while the flowers are only semi- 

 double it always attracts attention on account of 



its rich color and is worthy of a place in every 



garden. It blooms profusely and continuously, 



usually in sprays of several blooms; the glossy 



dark green foliage accentuates its vivid color.

James Gibson (McGredy & Son, 1928). A glorious 

 glowing crimson-scarlet with velvety sheen, Im- 

 parting a lustrous radiance to the large, full, beau- 

 tifully formed flowers of which every bloom devel- 

 ops to perfection. Its habit of growth Is as near 

 perfect as could be desired, being free, bushy, up- 

 right and vigorous and the flowers which are borne 

 profusely all the season, are carried erect on long 

 stems with good disease resistant foliage. A bril- 

 liant Rose of exceptional beauty. $75.00 per 100. 



Jarvisbrook (Stuart Low, 1928). A splendid large full 

 flower of a most dainty and effective color combin- 

 ation, carmine with orange reverse to petal. It is 

 S'weetly scented, of vigorous, upright, branching, 

 healthy habit of growth and remarkably free flow- 

 ering throughout the season. A meritorious Rose 

 in every respect. i575.00 per 100. 



J. C. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most brilliant bright 

 glowing scarlet crimson with buds of exquisite 

 form and fine, full, well-shaped high-centered flow- 

 ers of great substance, borne singly on long strong 

 stems; of vigorous, free, growth. It may prove to 

 be our best red bedding variety. A Gold Medal 

 Rose of great importance. $75.00 per 100. 



Joan Cant (Cant, 1929). Reminds in form of the old 

 favorite Abel Chatenay. Buds very large, long 

 pointed, opening to very large, full double, well- 

 formed, long lasting, intensely fragrant flowers of 

 a pretty shade of salmon pink at the centre, shad- 

 ing brighter on the outside of the petals; the flow- 

 ers are borne several together on long strong stems, 

 growth vigorous, large light green, disease-re- 

 sistant leathery foliage. A strong vigorous bushy 

 grower, a profuse continuous bloomer and very 

 hardy. $125.00 per 100. 



Joanna Hill (J. H. Hill Co., 1928). This new yellow 

 has gained a well merited reputation as a winter 

 cut flower and from our observations during the 

 summer of 1929 we believe it will prove equally 

 valuable and meritorious for the garden. The buds 

 are large, long pointed and open to large, full, 

 semi-double, attractive, long lasting, moderately 

 fragrant flowers of a clear yellow with orange yel- 

 low heart. They are borne singly on long strong 

 stems; growth vigorous, upright, a profuse bloomer.
