This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 

 Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



The greatest and choicest collection of really worth while new varieties that we have ever had the pleasure of offering at one time, 

 representing the best efforts of the World's leading Rose hybridizers and showing the most wonderful advance yet made in the Rose family. 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long pointed 

 conical buds with the edges of the outer petals gracefully rolled 

 back; flowers very large and full double, high centre, slightly 

 fragrant and borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 

 first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to a pure white 

 as the flowers develop. Habit very erect, of vigorous constitu- 

 tion, dark green disease-resistant foliage, and a continuous free 

 bloomer; a fine garden Rose. $1.50 each. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A brilliant 

 distinct and striking Rose which we know will appeal to and 

 please every Rose lover. The buds are long pointed of perfect 

 shape, opening to high centered perfectly formed full double 

 flowers of a rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange 

 and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; very free flowering 

 and sweetly tea-scented. $1.00 each. 



Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925). An appropriate name for a daintily 

 colored and well formed single flower, 3J inches in diameter, 

 composed of delicately crinkled and wavy petals of a pleasing 

 shade of shell pink with a conspicuous bunch of crimson stamens. 

 The flowers last well when cut and are charming when displayed 

 in individual vases. A strong, vigorous grower and profuse 

 flowering, the flowers being produced on strong branching stems. 

 $1.00 each. 



Director Rubio (Dot, 1928). Large long pointed bud, opening 

 to a very large fairly double sweet-scented bloom of a solid 

 cochineal pink, retaining its color long in rain or shine. An 

 ideal bedding Rose of medium height and compact form. 

 $1.25 each. 



Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). A variety that will 



charm every lover of a real good Rose. Its color is fascinating, 



the margin of the petals being a delicate tint of shrimp pink 



gradually merging to a deep salmon-orange towards the base of 



the artistically reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full flower, 



that has good lasting qualities. The habit of the plant is ideal, 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Caledonia upright, strong and free flowering, with very healthy foliage. 



. , , _ „. . .... . $1.50 each. 



Abol (F. Evans, 192 7). An exceptionally vigorous growing, very 



free-flowering, new white. No other white variety, and for that 



matter, very few colored varieties, have such a delightful sweet 



perfume. In the bud stage and before the flowers are fully 



expanded, the centre petals are sometimes tinted with pink on 



the edges of the petals, passing to pure white as the flowers 



develop. A good shapely bud and full, double, W'ell formed 



flower produced very freely on long upright stems with very 



few thorns. $1.50 each. 

 Betty Suttor (McGredy & Son, 1929). Exquisite both in bud 



and fully developed flower, a great advance over the old favorite 



Mme. Abel Chatenay, long shapely bud and moderately large 



full double high centered flower of tea perfume. In color the 



inside of the petals are of delicate rosy pink, the outside a bright 



rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a delightful reflecting of 



the petals which enhance the beauty of the pink tones by bring- 

 ing each into bolder relief. Strong vigorous healthy growth and 



very free. SI. 50 each. 

 Bloomfield Flame (Capt. George C. Thomas, Jr., 1930). An 



interesting novelty with vivid and handsome colored long 



pointed flame red buds, opening to lasting fragrant flowers of 



20 to 24 petals which gradually merge from flame red to pink 



with orange yellow centre. These are borne singly on long 



stems with abundant glossy dark green bronzy, healthy foliage. 



$1.50 each.
