L.: toiy ]^slie (McGredy, ia2y). Some modern critics 



tametit the absence of fragrance at the expense 



®f vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed

iDion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring.

 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 pleasing decorative form 

 of delightfully sweet scent. $40.00 per 100. 



H-STd Rossmore (Dr. J. Campbell Hall, 1928). Globular 

 'blooms of great size and of good substance. The 

 ■outer reflexing petals are creamy yellow and the 

 ■central mass of petals is variously tinted with sal- 

 Enor blush, flesh or pink and of delicate tea scent.

 strong vigorous healthy habit of growth with dark- 

 leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting- 

 bedding variety. $75.00 per 100. 



Margaret MeGredy (M''GredJ^ 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. $40.00 per 100. 



Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination 

 is wonderful. In the j-oung stage the color is deep 

 buttercup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and 

 rosy-scarlet. As the flower opens the outside of 

 the petals retain their color, while the inner side 

 opens a brilliant geraniuin 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 for:n, and medium 

 size. $50.00 per 100. 



May Vk'ettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magnificently 

 formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and 

 artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of 

 immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, 

 their formation making a beautifully built long 

 bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner 

 face of the petals evolves from a bright salmon 

 pink in the bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright 

 pink in the more developed flower; the outer side 

 passes from deep rose to rosy pink and finally to 

 bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a. 

 wonderful color harmony. Free flowering and 

 fragrant. $75.00 per 100. 



McGredy'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 always beautiful. $75.00 per 100. 



Mcvrouw 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 sweet- 

 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. $75.00 per 100. 



Miss Rowena Thoiii (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 

 vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and 

 in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this

 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- 

 fn'd. adds to the brilliancy of Its coloring. $50.00 

 per 100. 



Mme. Henri Q.aeuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This 

 splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- 

 ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom 

 of flowering reminds one of the same raiser's popu- 

 lar bedding variety. Souvenir de Georges Pernet, 

 excepting in color which is much lighter, being a 

 pretty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper 

 base. $75.00 per 100. 



Mme. Nicolas Anssel (Pernet-D"ucher, 1931). An out- 

 standing this year's introduction of the late Mr.
