Jietv Hybrid-Tea Rose, President Hoover 



Rudolph Valentino (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). Altogether 

 different from any other Rose, both in coloring and 

 formation, the very large full flower which Is in- 

 formally but artistically arranged, is of a lively 

 shade of shrimp pink or coral-red with a golden 

 coppery suffusion which is heightened by the re- 

 flection from the golden base and reverse of the 

 petals. A most unique and striking flower in all 

 stages of development. Habit strong and vigorous, 

 free and continuous flowering" and delicatelj' 

 scented. $75.00 per 100. 



Schwabenland (Pfltzer, 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 petals having a peculiar twist or curl 

 give the large bloom a most graceful appearance. 

 In color it is a luminous rich rose pink, retaining 

 its brightness until the petals drop; the flowers are 

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

 hardy, vigorous grower and free and perpetual flow- 

 ering. $150.00 per 100. 



Sonvenir d'Alexander Bematx (Bernaix, 1926). A 

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

 ter and unique and distinct In color, one of the 

 deepest colored Hybrid-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. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



S-wansdOTvn (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal 

 white which in the autumn has just a tint of cream 

 at the base of the petals. The buds are large, very 

 long pointed of perfect shape, composed of large 

 heavy petals and develop Into splendid full very 

 sweetly-scented flowers of spiral formation. Its 

 growth is vigorous. In freedom of flowering Messrs. 

 Dickson state that they do not know any other 

 Rose of its size that will produce flowers in such 

 profusion. $75.00 per 100. 



Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929"). A combination of 

 shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink 

 or old-rose. The outside 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 unlike most Roses 

 the color becomes brighter as the flowers develop.

 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong grower and 

 free flowering. $75.00 per 100. 



Vaterland (Pfltzer, 192S). The most distinct dark 

 colored variety jet introduced, deeper and richer in 

 effect than the Hybrid Perpetual variety Prince

 roon and a splendidly formed high centered flower 

 of remarkable keeping qualities. The plant is of 

 vigorous strong erect habit with healthy foliage

 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
