IS Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses and 



of Special Merit— Continued 



Polly (Beckwlth, 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 flushed 

 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. 

 ?C0.OO per 100. 



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. $50.00 per 100. 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1931). A Rose that 

 pleaseg us and that we are sure will be generally 

 appreciated not only on account of its large beau- 

 tifully formed double flowers but also for its re- 

 markable fragrance of which Mr. McGredy, the intro- 

 ducer, says "No Rose has ever been raised to com- 

 pare with this variety for fragrance which is most 

 penetrating and of an entirely distinct sweet odor." 

 The plant is a strong vigorous grower and free 

 bloomer; in color a bright orange-scarlet, passing 

 to bright rose towards the edge of the petals; an 

 ideal garden Rose. $100.00 per 100.

Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thorn (Howard & Smith, 

 1926). We are convinced that this Is the best yel- 

 low bedding Rose we have to-day. It is of clean 

 healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 

 disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free 

 bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized 

 buds are long and shapely and develop Into good 

 .«!lzed full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- 

 low, sweetly scented. .$35.00 per 100. 



Mrs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of excep- 

 tional merit, of a most attractive vivid shade of 

 cochineal carmine, with large long pointed shapely 

 buds and very large full double cupped fragrant 

 flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth moder- 

 ate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and 

 a profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to be- 

 come popular and which will displace all others of 

 a similar shade of color. $75.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Sam McGrerty (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-orange 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 

 flo-wrers are of large si7,p and beavitiful 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. $75.00 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, the inside salmon-orange 

 suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The 

 flowers are of medium size and form, delightfully 

 fragrant. Free-flowering. A splendid bedder. 

 $40.00 per 100. 



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

 recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds 

 are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fra- 

 grant 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 

 hony-like foliage and extremely free flowering for 

 a Rose of its large size. .$40.00 per 100. 



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

 rious 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 he delighted with Its 

 habit of growth. $50.00 per 100.
