This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 

 Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Impress 

 (Described on page 50) 



Duchess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of this 

 variety is uncommon and delightful, an old golden-orange 

 flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive both in the 

 bud and open state, growth vigorous, a free and continuous 

 profuse bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). Entirely 

 distinct in coloring and of such strong robust growth that it 

 should succeed anywhere and produce an abundance of its 

 pretty colored flowers. The buds are long and pointed, the 

 outside of the petals are of cream and blush shaded with orange 

 at the base, the inner face is salmon-pink with golden-orange 

 base; the flowers are moderately double, produced on long stems 

 and sweetly scented. $1.50 each. 



Editor McFarland (Mallerin, 1931). Type of Radiance in 

 habit of plant, ruggedness and persistency as well as in freedom 

 of bloom. Bud long pointed; flower semi-double, slightly 

 fragrant, of a solid glowing pink with a slight suffusion of yellow, 

 generally borne singly on long strong stem. The large, pointed, 

 arch shaped petals are edged lighter, the contrast accentuating 

 as the flower ages. $2.50 each. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it is equally good for garden purposes, the long buds 

 of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double flowers 

 are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure red as they 

 develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. $1.50 each. 



Everest (Easlea & Sons, 1927). One of the largest Roses yet 

 raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flowers of immense size with 

 long broad petals of firm texture, fragrant, ivory-white with 

 creamy suffusion and when fully developed resembles a large 

 Peony borne on long stems. While awarded a Gold Medal by 

 the National Rose Society of England as a Hybrid-Tea, it has 

 the characteristics of a vigorous growing Hybrid-Perpetual. 

 $1.00 each. 



Evert Van Dyk (G. A. Van Rossem, 1931). With the many 

 good pink Roses now in cultivation the standard to induce us 

 to offer a new variety is naturally placed high, and we are con- 

 vinced that in this new Dutch variety, which has been named 

 by the introducer in honor of one of the sponsors of the trans- 

 oceanic flight of the "Southern Cross," that we have a variety, 

 which in its color, a bright rose-pink with salmon suffusion, and 

 superior habits, we can recommend with full confidence. $1.50 

 each. 



Gaiety (E. G. Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, developing 

 to a large shapely semi-double, cupped, very lasting flower com- 

 posed of ruffled petals which as they unfold show various shades 

 of orange, Indian red, yellow, and pink or fawn. The plant is 

 of strong, vigorous branching habit, with good healthy foliage 

 and very free flowering. $1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent Rose of Austra- 

 lian origin in which we have an ideal garden Rose of great merit 

 of an exquisite light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an, ovoid 

 form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening and develop 

 into splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant flowers 

 which are of a uniform color, reminding one of the old favorite 

 Marechal Niel and which was suggestive of the name Golden 

 Dawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous upright branching habit, 

 with large glossy healthy green foliage, very free flowering with 

 usually three or more flowers on each branch. $1.50 each. 



Gruss an Coburg (Felberg, Leclerc, 1927). An attractive 

 variety with brilliant coppery orange red buds and large double, 

 full, very fragrant flowers, of a brilliant combination of fawn, 

 golden yellow and coppery red. A strong healthy grower and a 

 perpetual bloomer. $1.50 each.
