rid- i ea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The following is 

 an extract of Messrs. McGredy's description of this 

 beautiful new variety: "The color is quite distinct 

 from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual 

 combination of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet 

 coppery-orang'e is heavily flushed with Lincoln-red 

 on the outside of the petals, and these colors to- 

 gether give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The 

 flowers are of large size and beautiful form, and 

 they possess the proper fullness to make them use- 

 ful for all purposes. They are very freely produced 

 and delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous 

 and exceptionally free habit and is for all Rose 

 growers the best all-purpose variety we have 

 raised." $100.00 per 100. , 



Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct color, 

 combination that is novel. The outside of the petals 

 is a deep chrome-yellow with a marginal color ef- 

 fect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging to an irreg- 

 ular zone of burnt orange, tlae inside salmon-orange 

 suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The 

 flowers are of medium size and form, delightfully 

 fragrant and free-flowering. A splendid bedder. 

 $50.00 per 100. 



Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of 

 very recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed 

 buds are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large 

 fragrant double perfect blooms that shade from 

 orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine at 

 the edges. It is of strong robust habit with glossy 

 holly-like foliage and extremely free flowering for 

 a Rose of its large size. $50.00 per 100. 



Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the 

 Ophelia type that we feel confident will become a 

 general favorite. Buds long and of perfect shape, 

 the centre golden yellow passing to a tender fiushed 

 pink towards the edges; as the large full fine flow- 

 ers develop the golden base comes well up on the 

 petals, the outer petals pass to a creamy white 

 with just the faintest touch of pink. A strong 

 healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly scented. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most 

 enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crim- 

 son with velvety sheen which they describe as hav- 

 ing large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding 

 one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when 

 at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous 

 free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of 

 Merit National Rose Society, England. $75.00 per

 The Best Yellow Garden Rose 



Portadown Bedder (McGredy. 1929). This is one of 

 the brilliant Roses that makes an instant appeal 

 by its charming combination of unusual colors. The 

 petals are orange-yellow on the outside, with a 

 rich cerise flush that deepens towards the edge, 

 and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 

 cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors 

 giving a warm tone to the whole flower, which is 

 of moderate size, good form and thick texture of 

 petal. They are very freely and continuously pro- 

 duced and are fragrant. A Rose that has only to be 

 seen to be admired. Certificate of Merit of National 

 Rose Society, England. $75.00 per 100. 



President Hoover (L. B. Coddington, 1930). A glor- 

 ious Rose, wonderfully free in the easy manner in 

 which it grows and charming" in its color arrange- 

 ment which is a splendid combination of cerise- 

 pink, flame, scarlet and yellow; this combination of 

 colors gives the most dazzling color effect imagin- 

 able. The buds are beautifully pointed, the flowers 

 large, composed of broad thick heavy petals, with 

 an exquisite fragrance. It is exceptionally free 

 flowering and everyone will be delighted with its 

 habit of growth. Awarded the Gold Medal at the 

 International Flower Show in New York, 1929. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



President Jae Siuits (Verscliuren & Sons, 192S). For 

 brilliancy in color, a rich velvety crimson-scarlet, 

 exceptionally long pointed buds of ideal shape, held 

 gracefully on long straight stems and produced 

 most generously, we know of no other variety that 

 is its equal, but having only 18 to 20 petals, usually 

 arranged in three rows, the flowers e.xpand very 

 quickly, showing the golden stamens, but even in 

 its fully e.xpanded form it's brilliancy of color is 

 unequaled by any other variety of this type. $50.00 

 per 100.
