This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 

 Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists 



^^■^^^ Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont (Mallerin, 1929). Medium sized long- 



pointed bud of a reddish gold cening to a semi-double, medium 

 sized, cupped, very lasting f- j^rant flower of a deep golden 

 yelLw. The plant is 01 strong vigorous compact growth with 

 abunaant, rich green, disease-resistant foliage. A remarkably 

 profuse and continuous bloomer, rarely being without buds or 

 flowers. $1.50 each. 



Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct color combi- 

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

 yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant orange-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, delightfully fragrant and 

 free-flowering. A splendid bedder. $1.00 each. 



Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the Ophelia type 

 that will become a general favorite. Buds long and of perfect 

 shape, the centre golden yellow passing to a tender flushed pink 

 towards the edges; as the large full fine flowers develop the 

 golden base comes well up on the petals, the outer petals pass to a 

 creamy white with just the faintest touch of pink. A strong 

 healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly scented. $1.50 each. 



Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are orange- 

 yellow on the outside, with a rich cerise flush that deepens to- 

 wards the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 

 cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm 

 tone to the whole flower, which is of moderate size, good form 

 and thick texture of petal. They are very freely and continu- 

 ously produced and are fragrant. A Rose that has only to be 

 seen to be admired. $1.50 each.

Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). An outstanding 



introduction of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright 



coppery red in the very long, shapely tapering bud that develops 



into a large full double flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon 



pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, free and continuous 



bloomer. $1.50 each. 

 Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed bud develop- 

 ing into large double high centered flowers, very lasting of a 



rich silvery pink color, borne singly on long stout stems. A 



strong vigorous grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; 



very hardy. $1.50 each. 

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



This is the best yellow bedding Rose we have to-day. It is of 



clean healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 



disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free bloomer through- 

 out the season. The good sized buds are long and shapely 



and develop into good sized full double flowers of a rich deep 



lemon yellow, sweetly scented. $1.00 each. 

 Mrs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of exceptional merit, 



of a most attractive vivid shade of cochineal carmine, with large 



long pointed buds and very large full double cupped 



shapely fragrant flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth 



moderate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and a 



profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to become popular 



and which will displace all others of a similar shade of color. 



$1.50 each. 

 Mrs. Sam McGredjJ (McGredy, 1929). The following is an 



extract of Messrs. McGredy's description of this beautiful 



variety: "The color is quite distinct from anything yet seen 



in Roses, a wonderful dual combination of vivid shades. A 



beautiful scarlet coppery-orange is heavily flushed with Lincoln- 

 red on the outside of the petals, and these colors together give a 



rich and almost dazzling effect. The flowers are of large size and 



beautiful form, and they possess the proper fullness to make 



them useful for. all purposes. They are very freely produced 



and delicately perfumed. The p'ant has a vigorous and excep- 

 tionally free habit and is one of the best all-purpose varieties we 



have raised." $2.00 each.
