This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 

 Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). The color combination is won- 

 derful. In the young stage 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-scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The flowers 

 are of nice form, and medium size. The habit is bushy, free, and 

 upright. $1.00 each. 



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. 

 $1.00 each. 



McGredy 's Scarlet (McGredy & Son, 1930). A new red Rose of 

 marked superiority on account of its strong vigorous growth 

 free and continuous habit of flowering and its brilliant color. 

 The flowers are of good size, full double of a brilliant scarlet, 

 orangy yellow at base of petals, the upper portions of same being 

 lightly touched with crimson, varying some in color under chang- 

 ing weather conditions but always beautiful. $1.50 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- 

 velously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not 

 found in any other variety, a most striking blending of dark 

 vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with fre- 

 quently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The 

 sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect formation both 

 in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. $1.50 each. 



Miss Rowena Thorn (Howard & Smith, 1927). In vigorous 

 habit of growth, freedom of bloom and in its adaptability to 

 varied climatic conditions, this will prove equal to the popular 

 Radiance Roses, while its flowers in size and form are equal to 

 the best high-class varieties of recent introduction and all of 

 which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its buds are long 

 and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers frequently 5| 

 inches across of a brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals 

 having a golden suffusion. $1.00 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lady Forteviot 



Konigin Luise (Queen Luise) (Weigand, 1927). An exception- 

 ally large, full double, globular, well built double white flower 

 that lasts a long time. Of strong vigorous habit of growth with 

 good healthy foliage. The flowers are carried erect on strong 

 stiff stems. A splendid Rose for the garden and for cutting. 

 $1.00 each. 



Lady Forteviot (B. R. Cant, 1928). A garden Rose that we 

 confidently recommend. Large ovoid buds opening to very 

 large, moderately double artistic well lasting flowers of delightful 

 fruity fragrance of a bright golden yellow flushed with cardinal 

 red, borne several together on long strong stems. Growth 

 vigorous, healthy dark green glossy foliage, a hardy continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each. 



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 

 combination of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring. 

 In the early stages the flowers are rosy scarlet which, as they 

 develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine suffused with saffron yellow 

 on a yellow base, a warm glowing color combination particularly 

 in the young state. $1.50 each. 



Lady Mary Elizabeth (Alex. Dickson, 1927). A variety of 

 outstanding merit. Of strong, vigorous, upright, branching 

 habit with good healthy foliage and very prolific flowering. 

 Flowers delightfully fragrant. Long pointed buds with deep 

 substantial petals in color a brilliant carmine-pink. $1.50 each. 



Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). Very long pointed 

 buds, deep yellow splashed with red. As the outer petals un- 

 fold, the inner face is yellow with coppery venation with the 

 tips of the petals lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. 

 It is of strong vigorous healthy habit of growth with dark 

 leathery foliage. A most distinct and interesting bedding 

 variety. $1.50 each. 



Lucile Rand (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). A splendid large flower; 

 in color a lively bright rose-carmine; delicately sweet scented. 

 Its size and formation reminds of Dame Edith Helen but unlike 

 that variety it is an exceptionally strong vigorous grower and a 

 free continuous bloomer throughout the season. $2.00 each.
