of Special Merit— Continued 



/*^ 



Hj-brid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom 

 The Best Yellow Garden Rose 



Lady Mary Elizabeth (Alex. Dickson, 1927). A variety 

 of outstanding- merit. Of strong, vigorous, uprigiit, 

 branching: liabit with good healthy foliage and very 

 prolific flowering. Flowers delightfully fragrant. 

 Long pointed buds with deep substantial petals in 

 color a brilliant carmine-pink. ^40.00 per 100. 



liUcie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long 

 pointed buds, deep yellow splashed with red. As 

 the outer petals unfold, the inner face is yellow 

 with coppery venation, with the tips of the petals 

 lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. It is of 

 strong, vigorous healthy habit of growth with dark- 

 leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting 

 bedding variety. §75.00 per 100. 



Marsraret McGredy (Mf>Gredy, 1928). We consider this 

 one of McGredy's masterpieces, large, beautifully 

 shaped full double flowers, entirely distinct from all 

 others in its rich coloring which is a brilliant shade 

 of Turkish or Oriental red passing as the flowers 

 age to a beautiful carmine-rose, these are borne on 

 long stiff stems and hold their form and beauty for 

 a long time. §35.00 per 100. 



Marlon Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination 

 is wonderful. In the young stage the color is deep 

 buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and 

 rosv-soarlet. As the flower opens the outside of 

 the" petals retain their color, while the inner side 

 opens a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and 

 veined orange and yellow, passing to a deep cerise 

 on bright rosy-scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. 

 The flowers are full, of nice form, and medium 

 size. $40.00 per 100. 



MeOredy's Scarlet. (McGredy & Son, 1930). A new 

 red Rose of marked superiority on account of its 

 strong vigorous growth free and continuous habit 

 of flowering and its brilliant color. The flowers are 

 of good size, full double of a brilliant scarlet, 

 orangy yellow at base of petals, the upper portions 

 of same being lightly touched with crimson, vary- 

 ing some in color under changing weather condi- 

 tions but alwavs beautiful. A splendid Rose for 

 the garden. $75.00 per 100. 



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

 marvelously beautiful Rose 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 s%veet- 

 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. §40.00 per 100. 



Miss Rowena Thom (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. §35.00 

 per 100. 



Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Dticher, 1931). An out- 

 standing this year's introduction of the late Mr. 

 Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery red in 

 the very long, shapely tapering bud that develops 

 into a large full double flower of an exquisite 

 opalescent salmon pink. Growth vigorous and 

 healthy, free and continuous bloomer. §75.00 per 

 190. 



Monarch (Bobbie, 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. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclonprh (McGredy, 1926). A most dis- 

 tinct and valuable Rose, of a bright but soft spark- 

 ling carmine-pink of even tone that passes to yel- 

 low at the base of the petals; this attractive color 

 does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything 

 becomes richer and brighter. The bud is long 

 pointed and develops into a full double flower of 

 model form and substance; very fragrant. §40.00 

 per 100.
