WHOLESALE LIST 



This Year's New Hybrid- Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



JIcGredy's Scarlet (McGredy, 1930). Messrs. McGredy 

 say of this Rose "We have never seen anything ap- 

 proaching this Rose in color, a rich brilliant scar- 

 let, so velvety that one can almost see the pile. The 

 base is orange, and the upper portions of the petals 

 are lightly washed deep crimson which enhances the 

 whole flower. The habit of growth is free, vigorous 

 and upright with large dark green mildew-proof 

 foliage. The stems are strong carrying the flowers 

 erect, free and continuous flowering." A brilliant 

 Rose for the Garden and for cutting. Awarded 

 First Class Certificate National Rose Society of 

 England. $75.00 per 100. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rosseni (Van Rossem, 1926). A 

 marvelously beautiful Hose with a unique color 

 combination not found in any other variety, a most 

 striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot 

 on a golden yellow ground with frequently touches 

 of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The sweet- 

 scented flowers are very large, of perfect forma- 

 tion both in the bud as well as in the fully devel- 

 oped flower and are produced very freely on vigorous 

 upright growths. Gold Medal at The Hague and 

 Certificate of Merit with Congratulations of the 

 Jury of the Royal Dutch Horticultural Society. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Mi.ss Ro«ena Thoiii (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 

 vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and 

 in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this 

 will prove equal to the popular Radiance Roses, 

 while its flowers in size and form are equal to the 

 best high-class varieties of recent introduction and 

 all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. 

 Its buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect 

 double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a bril- 

 liant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a 

 golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- 

 fold, adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $50.00 

 per 100. 



Miiie. Henri Queuille (Pcrnet-Ducher, 1929). This 

 splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- 

 ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom 

 of flowering reminds one of the same raiser's popu- 

 lar bedding variety, Souvenir de Georges Fernet, 

 excepting in color which is much lighter, being a 

 pretty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper 

 base. $50.00 per 100. 



Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed bud 

 developing into large double high centered flowers, 

 very lasting, of a rich silvery pink color, borne 

 singly on long stout stems. A strong vigorous 

 grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; very 

 hardy. §75.00 per 100. 



Miss Rowena Thotn. 

 New Hybrid-Tea Rose, 



A valuable bedding 

 variety. 



Xe«- Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lucie Marie 



Mrs. Ersliine Pembroke Thoni (Howard & Smith, 



1926). "We are convinced that this is the best yel- 

 low bedding Rose we have to-day. It is of clean 

 healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 

 disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free 

 bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized 

 buds are long and shapely and develop into good 

 sized full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- 

 low, sweetly scented. $40.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Herbert Dowsett (Easlea, 1928). Orig- 

 inated as a sport from Los Angeles, large 

 ovoid bud, large full double very lasting, 

 well shaped, moderately fragrant flower. 

 In color it is several shades deeper than 

 its popular parent. Growth vigorous, 

 bushv habit and a continuous bloomer.

3Irs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of 

 exceptional merit, of a most attractive vivid 

 shade of cochineal carmine, with large long 

 pointed shapely buds and very large full 

 double cupped shapely fragrant flowers 

 borne singly on good stems. Growth moder- 

 ate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage 

 and a profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain 

 to become popular and which will displace all 

 _i others of a similar shade of color. Awarded Gold 

 Medal of Scottish Rose Society. $75.00 per 100. 



\ight (McGredy & Son, 1930). Unquestionably the 

 darkest crimson Rose so far raised. "We quote 

 from the English National Rose Society's Annual 

 "An extraordinary Rose most certainly the near- 

 est approach to a black Rose we have. Its color 



mine ue xxuiictn, inv-ncii-w vwx ^^c*,. x».v..j.. 

 Rose " Messrs. McGredy describe it as a blackish 

 crimson. The flowers are of medium size, full 

 and of perfect form and sweetly scented and 

 freelv and continuously produced. S125.00 per 100.
