Miss Ro^veua Thoin, 

 New Hybrid-Tea Rose. 



A valuable 

 variety. 



b e d tl i n 



•'resident Jac Siuits (Verschuren & Sons, 1928). For 

 brilliancy in color, a rich velvety crimson-scarlet, 

 exceptionally long pointed buds of ideal shape, held 

 gracefully on long stems and produced most gener- 

 ously, we know of no other variety that is its equal, 

 but having only 18 to 20 petals, usually arranged 

 in three rows, the flowers expand very quickly, 

 showing the golden stamens, but even in its fully 

 expanded form its brilliancy of color is unequaled 

 by any other variety of this type. $40.00 per 100. 



Rennte (Berger, 1925). A seedling from the popular 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria which it resembles in 

 type. Bud large, of ovoid form, opening to very 

 large, very double globular, creamy white flowers 

 of strong fragrance and very good lasting quality 

 usually produced several on a stem. Foliage bronzy- 

 green, leathery, disease resistant. Growth vigorous 

 and bushv; blooms profusely and continuously. 

 Very hardy. $50.00 per 100. 



Kosella Sweet (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid 

 bud developing to a splendid large, well-formed, at- 

 tractive flower of a luminous capucine yellow, with 

 delicate salmon pink suffusion and of strong de- 

 licious fragrance. The fine flowers are borne singly 

 on strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigorous up- 

 right habit with healthy dark green glossy foliage. 

 $.^0.0O per 100. 



Schwabenland (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 peta.ls having a peculiar twist or curl 

 give the large bloom a most graceful appearance. 

 Tn co'or it is a luminous rich rose pink, retaining 

 its brightness until the petals drop; the flowers are 

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

 hardy, vigorous grower and free knd perpetual flow- 

 ering. ig75.00 per 100. 



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

 beautiful large flower, 4% inches or more in diame- 

 ter and unique and distinct In color, one of the 

 deepest colored Hj-brid-Tea varieties. The flower 

 is of artistic build and full double with from 48 to 

 50 substantial petals which are neatly arranged. In 

 the half-expanded bud the petals are incurved, of 

 an Intense deep velvety crimson-red on a maroon 

 ground with touches of scarlet on the outer petals. 

 As the flower fully develops it becomes suffused 

 with vermilion carmine at the edge of the petals 

 S60.00 per 100. 



Stuttgart (Berger, 1928). On the type of Ville de 

 Paris with medium sized, long pointed, shapely bud 

 and double, very lasting, moderately fragrant, pure 

 yellow flowers borne singly or several together on 

 long stems. Growth moderate, bushy; foliage rich 

 green, disease resistant; a free bloomer throughout 

 the season. .'i>".5.0« per 100. 



Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). A com- 

 bination of shadings of gold, apricot, yel- 

 -^ low and deep pink or old-rose. The out- 



- ;.-■'" side 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 un- 

 like 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- 

 grower and free flowering. $50.0O per lOo. 

 \aterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct 

 dark colored variety yet introduced, deeper 

 and richer in effect than the Hybrid Perpetual 

 variety Prince Camille de Rohan, a rich deep vel- 

 vety scarlet maroon and a splendidly formed high 

 centered flower of remarkable keeping qualities. 

 The plant is of vigorous strong erect habit with 

 J healthy foliage and remarkably free and perpet- 

 ual flowering; unquestionably the best of this 

 type that has yet come to our notice. $75.00 per 

 100. 

 Ville de Paris (City of Paris) (Pernet-Ducher, 1926). 

 One of Pernet-Ducher's Gold Medal Roses which 

 award it received in the International trials at the 

 Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, in the summer of 1926. 

 It is of a rich buttercup-yellow much in the style 

 of Mrs. Beckwith but with longer buds and larger 

 flowers and purer in color. The plant is of vigor- 

 ous growth and very free flowering, a splendid rich 

 yellow garden variety. $40.00 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 moderately sweet scented flower. Color deep 

 crimson, deepening to carmine crimson; does not 

 blue or burn; these are carried on long s'trong 

 stems, a verv free continuous bloomer. .51:25.00 per 

 100. 

 ■William E. Nickerson (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 stem. A hardy 

 vigorous grower with light green healthy foliage. 

 A free and continuous bloomer. A gem in every 

 way. $75.0O per 100.
