 ous grower and profuse flowering, the flowers being

Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). A variety 

 that will charm every lover of a real good Rose. Its 

 ?olor is fascinating, the margin of the petals being 

 a delicate tint of shrimp pink gradually merging to 

 a deep salmon-orange towards the base of the artis- 

 tically reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full 

 flower, that has good lasting qualities. The habit of 

 the plant is ideal, upright, strong and free flower- 

 ering, with very healtliy foliage. .>S(iO.0O per lUU.

 larly attractive in the bud and open state, growth 

 vigorous, a free and continuous profuse bloomer.

 at the base, the inner face is salmon-pink with 

 golden-orange base; the flowers are moderately

Ne« Hybrid Tea Rose, Caledonia 



A.bol (F. Evans, 1927). An exceptionally vigorous 

 growing, very free-flowering, new white. No other 

 white variety, and for that matter, very few colored 

 varieties, have such a delightful sweet perfume as 

 this novelty. In the bud stage and before the 

 flowers are fully expanded, the centre petals are 

 sometimes tinted with pink on the edges of the 

 petals, passing to pure white as the flowers develop.

 flower. $00.00 per 100. 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long 

 pointed conical buds with the edges of the outer 

 petals gracefully rolled back; flowers very large 

 and full double, high centre, slightly fragrant and 

 borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 

 first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to 

 a pure white as the flowers develop. Habit very 

 erect, of vigorous constitution, dark green disease- 

 resistant foliage, and a continuous free bloomer; a 

 fine garden Rose. $00.00 per 100.
