WHOLESALE LIST 



New Hybrid -Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Dormant Stock for Delivery Winter of 1928-1929 



Miss Theresa Morley (Howard & Smith, 1928). A very 

 strong, vigorous, tall upright grower with large 

 rich dark green, disease-proof foliage and large 

 buds developing into good full flowers of a brilliant 

 carmine cerise. A splendid Rose for the garden, 

 particularly good in late summer and autumn. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Beatty (Cant & Sons, 1926). An exquisite self- 

 colored light lemon-yellow with the delightful per- 

 fume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Habit of 

 growth good, with disease-immune foliage, always 

 in flower with large, long, oval-pointed buds. A 

 rose that is destined to become a popular favorite. 

 Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society 

 and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England. $100.00 per 100. 



Mrs. C. W. Edwards (McGredy, 1924). Rich rosy-scar- 

 let overlaying an orange ground, the base of the 

 petals prettily zoned citron-yellow which runs in 

 faint veinings into the higher colors; a novel color 

 combination. Strong, vigorous habit of growth; 

 very free flowering, with large, full, fragrant flowers. 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thorn (Howard & Smith, 1926). 

 We are convinced that this is the best yellow bed- 

 ding rose we have today. It is of clean healthy 

 vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy disease- 

 resisting foliage and a continuous free bloomer 

 throughout the season. The medium sized buds are 

 long and shapely and develop into good sized full 

 double very shapely flowers of a rich deep lemon 

 yellow sweetly scented. $100.00 per 100. 



Leslie Pidgeon (Hugh Dickson, 1922). A delightfully 

 informal semi-double decorative flower, orange buff, 

 heavily flushed and suffused with terra cotta shad- 

 ing lighter in hot weather. $75.00 per 100. 



Oliver Mee (Sandy Dickson, 1927). A Rose of great 

 charm and beauty. The buds are long and pointed 

 of exquisite shape and open to large full, high-cen- 

 tered flowers of great distinction. The color in the 

 young state is deep salmon with a heavy flush of 

 clear fawn changing with age to deep salmon-pink. 

 One of the most beautiful roses of recent years, 

 sweetly scented. $100.00 per 100. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. 'William C. Egan 



Nov Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mon. Julien Potin 



Mrs. Henry Botvles (Chaplin, 1921). Everybody ad- 

 mired the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, for a 

 long time one of the most popular Roses but which 

 has practically disappeared from commerce, in this 

 we have the same pleasing warm color values but 

 in flowers of much greater size. Color a most effec- 

 tive deep salmon-pink and of splendid form. Vig- 

 orous growing and free flowering. $50.00 per 100. 



Mrs. J. Heath (McGredy, 1924). In the bud stage this 

 is so beautifully shaded and splashed with crimson- 

 red, madder-red orange and running oft to maize- 

 yellow at the points making it absolutely indescrib- 

 able, as the flowers expand the outer pedals shade 

 off to maize-yellow tinted peach red while the 

 centre remains deep cadmium-yellow. The buds are 

 long pointed, the flowers full, large and of perfect 

 form and slightly scented. $75.00 per 100. 



Monsieur Julien Potin (The Golden Fernet). This is 

 Mr. Pernet's latest achievement which will probably 

 become better known as The Golden Pernet. It is 

 unquestionably the most gorgeous and brilliant 

 yellow rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow that 

 grows richer and deeper as the flowers mature. The 

 buds are long and shapely and develop into large, 

 full flowers of beautiful form, delightfully sweet- 

 scented. Habit of growth upright with ample, at- 

 tractive, glossy, bronzy-green foliage, very free- 

 flowering. $125.00 per 100. 



Mrs. liOvell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). One of 

 the American raised Roses which has come to stay 

 and which as a garden Rose will undoubtedly rank 

 with such popular bedding varieties as Radiance, 

 Red Radiance, Lady Ursula, Mrs. William C. Egan, 

 etc. 



It is a remarkably vigorous grower of branching 

 habit, well furnished with excellent foliage, freely 

 producing perfectly formed long shapely buds with 

 nicely reflexing petals that develop into good double 

 flowers. The color of the buds is a deep coppery 

 salmon at base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. 

 The developed flowers are also salmon-pink deepening 

 towards the centre. Delightfully tea scented. $50.00 

 per 100.
