New Hybrid -Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Dormant Stock for Delivery Winter of 1928-1929 



Marlon Cran (McGredy & Sons, 1927). Messrs. McGredy 

 say of this novelty: "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 veiled orange and yellow; as the flowers age 

 the color changes to a deep cerise on bright rosy- 

 scarlet 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, 

 making a magnificent bush; one of the freest and r 

 most perpetual flowering garden and bedding roses. 

 Awarded a Certificate of Merit by the National Rose 

 Society of England. $100.00 per 100. 



Mary Piekford (Howard & Smith, 1926). A novel Rose 

 of merit. In habit of growth, it is strong, vigorous, 

 not unlike Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. Color, an 

 exquisite shade of orange-yellow, stained on the 

 reverse of the outer petals with salmon and salmon 

 blush. S-IO-OO per 100. 



Mrs. A, R, Barracloiigh. (McGredy & Son, 1927). Un- 

 questionably one of the finest Roses ever sent out 

 and winner of a Gold Medal of the National Rose 

 Society of England. 



Pink sounds uninteresting in a new Rose, there 

 being so many of this shade, but in this new variety 

 we have a most distinct and valuable addition of a 

 bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an even 

 shade passing to yellow at the base of the petals. 

 The color does not fade as the flower ages, but 

 appears to become brighter. The bud is long and 

 perfect and develops into a full double flower of 

 great size, most perfect form and substantial sub- 

 stance; very fragrant. $100,00 per 100. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mine. Poincare 



Nov Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Henry Bowles 



Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (McGredy, 1927). An extremely 

 vigorous growing very free-flowering Rose of the 

 duatone Pernetiana type. The splendidly-formed 

 buds are of an entrancing new color, the exterior 

 of the petals heavily veined with rose d'or and 

 shaded orange-cadmium, the interior a deep chrome- 

 yellow on the lower half vein out and pass to a 

 warm rich rosy-salmon. Valuable as a garden vari- 

 ety, will also prove most valuable for interior dec- 

 oration, particularly so as the intensity of coloring 

 Is especially effective under artificial light. $75.00 

 per 100. 



.Vornian Lambert (McGredy, 1926). The formation 

 and size of the flowers reminds one of Golden Em- 

 blem but with a distinct color combination that is 

 novel. The outside of the petals is a deep chrome- 

 yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant or- 

 ange-scarlet merging to an irregular zone of burnt 

 orange, the inside salmon-orange suffused bronze, 

 shading to yellow at the base. The flowers are of 

 medium size and form with petals of good texture. 

 delightfully fragrant and exceptionally free-flower- 

 ing. $7."J.OO per 100. 



Padre (B. R. Cant, 1920). Most attractive and novel 

 in coloring, with long petals of a coppery scarlpt 

 flushed with yellow at the base. Growth strong and 

 upright and exceedinglv free-flowering. A remark- 

 ably beautiful bedding Rose. $35.00 per 100>
