WHOLESALE LIST 



This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses— Continued 



Introductions of the Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Rosella fPernet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid bud de- 

 veloping to a splendid large, well-formed, attractive 

 flower of a luminous capucine yellow, with delicate 

 salmon pink suffusion and of strong delicious fra- 

 grance. The fine flowers are borne singly on strong 

 sti^ stems, the plant is of vigorous upright habit 

 with healthv dark green glossv foliage. $75.00 per 

 100. 



Rudolph Valentino (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). The latest 

 of Mr. Pernet's introductions. Altogether different 

 from any other Rose, both m coloring and forma- 

 tion, the very large full flower which is informally, 

 but artistically arranged, is of a lively shade of 

 shrimp pink or coral-red with a golden coppery suf- 

 fusion which is heightened by the reflection from 

 the golden base and reverse of the petals. A most 

 unique and striking flower in all stages of devel- 

 opment. Habit strong and vigorous, free and con- 

 tinuous flowering and delicatelv scented. $75.00 per 

 100. 



Sch^vabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). A Rose of great merit. 

 There are many pink Roses but none just like this 

 new variety either in color or in the splendid forma- 

 tion of its blooms. The flowers are large, over five 

 inches in diameter, of great depth, with high spiral 

 centre, the petals having a peculiar twist or curl 

 give the large bloom a most graceful appearance. 

 In color it is a luminous rich rose pink, retaining 

 its brightness until the petals drop: the flowers are 

 carried singly on long stiff stems. A strong, healthy, 

 hardy, vigorous grower and free and perpetual flow- 

 ering. $150.00 per 100. 



Souvenir d'Alexander Bernaix (Bernaix, 1926). A 

 beautiful large flo'wer, 4% inches or more in diame- 

 ter and unique and distinct in color, one of the 

 deepest colored Hybrid-Tea varieties. While the 

 flower is of flat cupped form both in bud as well 

 as in the fully developed bloom, it is of artistic build 

 and full double with from 4S to 50 substantial petals 

 which are neatly arranged. In the half-expanded 

 bud the petals are incurved, of an intense deep vel- 

 vety crimson-red on a maroon ground with touches 

 of scarlet on the outer petals. As the flower fullj' 

 develops it becomes suffused with vermilion carmine 

 at the edge of the petals. $75.00 per 100. 



Ke-»v Hybrid-Tea Rose, SchYTa1>enland 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, President Hoover 



S-wansdOTTn (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929.) An ideal 

 white which in the autumn has just a tint of cream 

 at the base of the petals. The buds are large, very 

 long pointed of perfect shape, composed of large 

 heavy petals and develop into splendid full very 

 sweetly-scented flowers of spiral formation. Its 

 growth is vigorous. In freedom of flowering Messrs. 

 Dickson state that they do not know any other 

 Rose of its size that will produce flowers in such 

 profusion. .$75.00 per 100. 



Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). The Rose of many 

 Gold Medals. It is the most remarkable piece of 

 coloring that we know in any Rose; a combination 

 of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink 

 or old-rose. The outside of the petals is bright 

 yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower develops and 

 the petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, 

 deep rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most Roses 

 the color becomes brighter as the flowers develop. 

 The bud is long, perfectly formed, averaging about 

 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong, vigorous grower 

 with/ glossy green foliage and free flowering. $60.00 

 per ioO. 



Violet Simpson (James Simpson, 1930). A remarkably 

 handsome Rose that will please every planter, being 

 entirely distinct from any other variety. The flow- 

 ers are" of absolutely perfect formation, resembling 

 in shape the variety Mrs. Henry Morse when at its 

 verv best but entirely different in color; the centre 

 of the flower being a rich shrimp pink shading to 

 soft rose on the outer petals, the base of the petals 

 at the centre is a deep gold. In the English Rose 

 Society's Annual for 1929, where it is illustrated in 

 colors, it is referred to as one of the best novelties 

 of recent vears. Awarded the Gold Medal of the 

 Scottish National Sweet Pea and Rose Society. 

 .$12.'5.0O per 100. 



•W. E. Chaplin (Chaplin, 1929). A most meritorious 

 red Rose of the Lord Charlemont type but better, 

 being a free vigorous grower with healthy disease- 

 resisting foliage. The flowers are large; every bud 

 develops to a perfect full, high-centered, very last- 

 ing moderatelv sweet scented flower. Color deep 

 crimson, deepening to carmine crimson; does not 

 blue or burn; these are carried on long strong 

 stems, a very free continuous bloomer. $125.00 per 

 100. 



W'iiliam E. Xickerson (Easlea, 1928). Very attractive 

 and distinct, a glowing orange cerise, large, ovoid 

 buds developing into full double high-centered flow- 

 ers of perfect form; very lasting, moderately fra- 

 grant, borne singly on long strong stems. A hardy 

 vigorous grower with light green healthy foliage. 

 A free and continuous bloomer. A gem in every 

 way. $125.00 per 100.
