Nov Hybrirt-Tea Rose, Liioie Marie 



I. Zlngarl (J. H. Pemberton, 1925). The most vivid 

 shade of orange scarlet that one can picture, rich 

 and glowing; while the flowers are only semi- 

 double it always attracts attention on account of 

 its rich color and is worthy of a place in every 

 garden. It blooms profusely and continuously, 

 usually in sprays of several blooms; the glossy 

 dark green foliage accentuates its vivid color. 

 $r>0.00 per 100. 



James Gibson (McGredy & Son, 1928). A glorious 

 glowing crimson-scarlet with velvety sheen. Im- 

 parting a lustrous radiance to the large, full, beau- 

 tifully formed flowers of which every bloom devel- 

 ops to perfection. Its habit of growth Is as near 

 perfect as could be desired, being free, bushy, up- 

 right and vigorous and the flowers which are borne 

 profusely all the season, are carried erect on long 

 stems with good disease resistant foliage. A bril- 

 liant Rose of exceptional beauty. $75.00 per 100. 



J. C. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most brilliant bright 

 glowing scarlet criinson with buds of exquisite 

 form and fine, full, well-shaped high-centered flow- 

 ers of great substance, borne singly on long strong 



stems; of vigoi-ous, free growth. It may prove to 

 be our best red bedding variety. $no.OO per 100. 



Joanna Hill (J. H. Hill Co., 1928). This new yellow 

 has gained a well merited reputation as a winter 

 cut flower and from our observations we believe it 

 will prove equally valuable and meritorious for the 

 garden. The buds are large, long pointed and open 

 to large, full, semi-double, attractive, long lasting, 

 moderately fragrant flowers of a clear yellow with 

 orange yellow heart. They are borne singly on 

 long .<^tr(irjg stem.s; Krowth vigorous, upright, a pro- 

 fuse bloomer. $00.00 per 100. 



Jules Gaujard (Pernet-Ducher, 1928). Distinct and 

 beautiful, the large, well-formed double flowers on 

 first opening are of a glistening 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 

 thnl we are convinced v\ill become a greatly ad- 

 mired garden rose. $00.00 per 100. 



Konlgin Lui.se (Queen Luise) (Weigand, 1927). An 

 exceptionally large, full, globular, well built 

 double white flower that lasts a long time. Of 

 strong vigorous habit of growth with good healthy 

 foliage. The flowers £,re carried erect on strong 

 stiff stems A splendid Rose for the garden and for 

 cutting. .$00.00 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 flowers of delightful fiuity 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. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Leslie (McGredy, 1929). Some modern critics 

 lament the absence of fragrance at the expense 

 of vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed 

 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. $75.00 per 100. 



Lady Mar^iruret Stewart (Alex. Dickson, 1926). A Rose 

 of unique color, the flowers in the young stage are 

 a deep sunflower-yellow heavily veined and splashed 

 with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply suf- 

 fused with carmine, as the flowers develop these 

 colors intermingle forming a beautiful cadmium 

 orange effect. The bud is long and pointed, opening 

 to a full double flower of plea.'^ing decorative form 

 of delightfully sweet scent. $40.00 per 100.
