Lady Leslie (McGredy, 1929). Some modern critics 

 lament the absence of fragrance at the expense 

 of vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed 

 good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a combina- 

 tion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring.

 which, as they develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine

 warm glowing color combination particularly in the 

 young state; The plant is of ideal bedding type

 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

Lord Charlemont (McGredy, 1922). Although intro- 

 duced some seven years since, this beautiful variety 

 is still very scarce. It is the most gorgeous and 

 brilliant dark red Rose we have with flowers of the 

 most intense clear crimson-scarlet, deepening to 

 carmine -crimson with almost black shadings with 

 perfectly shaped long pointed buds and large, full 

 double, sweetly scented flowers. Free growing and

Margaret McGredy (McGredy, 1928). We consider this 

 one of McGredy's most brilliantly colored master- 

 pieces, large, beautifully shaped full double flowers, 

 entirely distinct from all others in its rich color- 

 ing' which is a brilliait shade of Turkish or Ori- 

 ental 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. 

 .$50.00 per 100. 



Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination 

 is the most wonderful we have yet seen in any Rose. 

 In the young stage before the flowers expand 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 geranium scarlet flushed 

 and veined orange and yellow; as the flowers age 

 the color changes to a deep cerise on bright rosy- 

 scarFet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower 

 glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully 

 'open the color combination is delightful. The flowers 

 are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly large 

 in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright mak- 

 ing a magnificent bush; one of the freest and most 

 perpetual flowering garden and bedding Roses.

 large, long pointed developing to very large, very

May Wettern (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 flnally to 

 bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a 

 wonderful color harmony. 



In growth, it is upright and free, throwing many 

 base and side shoots which produce long-stemmed 

 flowers quicklv and freely. "Very sweet scented.
