This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Jules Gaiijard (Pernet-Ducher, 192S). Distinct and 

 beautiful, the large, well-formed double flowers on 

 first opening- are of a g'listening cochineal crimson 

 which, as they fully develop, pass to a pretty 

 shade of orange-rose. It is of strong, vigorous, 

 branching habit, very free flowering and a variety 

 that we are convinced will become a greatly ad- 

 mired garden Rose. !i»(!0.00 per 100. 



Konigin Lui!$« (Queen Luise) (Weigand, 1927). An 

 exceptionally large, full double, globular, well 

 built double white flower that lasts a long time. Of 

 strong vigorous habit of growth with good healthy 

 foliage. The flowers are carried erect on strong- 

 stiff stems. A splendid Rose for the garden and foi- 

 cutting. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Barnby (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Beauti- 

 fully formed flowers very much on the type of Mrs, 

 Henry Bowles, a variety that is a favorite with us, 

 it being one of our most reliable bedding varieties, 

 but Lady Barnby differs in color, it being a loveb 

 shade of clear rose pink. The plant is of excellent 

 habit, strong- vigorous growth and very free flower- 

 ing and sweetly scented. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Forteviot (B. R. Cant, 1928). A garden Rose 

 that we confidently recommend. Large ovoid buds 

 opening to very large, moderately double artistic 

 well lasting fiowers of delightful fruity fragrance 

 of a bright golden yellow flushed with cardinal red, 

 borne several together on long strong stems. Growth 

 vigorous, healthy dark green glossy foliage, a hardy 

 continuous bloomer. Awarded Gold Medal of Na- 

 tional Rose Society of England. .$75.00 per 100. 



Lady Leslie (McGredy, 192:i>. Some modern critics 

 lament the absence of fragrance at the expense 

 of vivid colors, but in me beauLifuliy tornieu 

 good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a combina- 

 tion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring. 

 In the early stages the flowers are rosy scarlet 

 which, as they develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine 

 suffused with saffron yellow on a yellow base, a 

 warm glowing color combination particularly in the 

 young state. The plant is of ideal bedding type 

 with free upright bushy growth and healthy dark 

 green foliage. Awarded Certificate of Merit Na- 

 tional Rose Society of England. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Mary Ellizabeth (Alex. Dickson, 1927). 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. $50.00 per 100.

New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lady Barnby 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lady Forte-viot 



Lord Rossiiiorc (Dr. J. Campbell Hall, 1928). Globular 

 blooms of great size and of good substance. The 

 outer reflexing petals are creamy yellow and the 

 central mass of petals is variously tinted with sal- 

 mon blush, flesh or pink and of delicate tea scent. 

 The growth is very strong and free with good foli- 

 age. Awarded Gold Medal National Rose Society of 

 England. $125.00 per 100. 



Luc-ie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long 

 pointed buds, deep yellow splashed with red. As 

 the outer petals unfold, the inner face is yellow 

 with coppery venation with the tips of the petals 

 lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. It is of 

 strong vigorous healthy habit of growth with dark- 

 leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting 

 bedding variety. Awarded Certificate of Merit Na- 

 tional Rose Society of England. $75.00 per 100. 



Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination 

 is the most wonderful we have yet seen in any Rose. 

 In the young stage before the flowers expand the 

 color is deep buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed 

 cerise and rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the 

 outside of the petals retain their color, while the 

 inner side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed 

 and veined orange and yellow; as the flowers age 

 the color changes to a deep cerise on bright rosy- 

 scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower 

 glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully 

 open the color combination is delightful. The flowers 

 are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly large 

 in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright mak- 

 ing a magnificent bush; one of the freest and most 

 perpetual flowering garden and bedding Roses. 

 $50.00 per 100. 



May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magniflcently 

 formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and 

 artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of 

 immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, 

 their formation making a beautifully built long- 

 bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner 

 face of the petals evolves from a bright salmon 

 pink in the bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright 

 pink in the more developed flower; the outer side 

 passes from deep rose to rosy pink and flnally to 

 bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a 

 w^onderful color harmony. 



In growth, it is upright and free, throwing many 

 base and side shoots which produce long-stemmed 

 flowers auicl-lv and freely. Very sweet scented. 

 Gold Medal National Rose Society, England. $50.00 

 per 100.
