.'"" . _ s Syracuse (Mallerin, 1930). Large pointed crimson bud, develop- 



ing into a very large, very full, double, long-lasting, slightly 

 fragrant, scarlet-crimson flower, borne singly on long stem. 

 Growth very vigorous, bushy, upright with large, dark green, 

 disease-resistant foliage. A profuse continuous bloomer. Very 

 hardy. $1.50 each. 

 Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). The Rose of many Gold 

 Medals. It is the most remarkable piece of coloring that we 

 know in any Rose; a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, 

 yellow and deep pink or old-rose. The outside of the petals is 

 bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower develops and the 

 petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink 

 or old-rose. The bud is long, perfectly formed, averaging about 

 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong, vigorous grower with 

 glossy green foliage and free flowering. $1.00 each. 

 Vaterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark colored 

 i variety yet introduced, deeper and richer in effect than the 

 P Hybrid Perpetual variety Prince Camille de Rohan, a rich deep 

 velvety scarlet maroon and a splendidly formed high centered 

 flower of remarkable keeping qualities. The plant is of vigorous 

 strong erect habit with healthy foliage and remarkably free and 

 perpetual flowering; unquestionably the best of this type that 

 has yet come to our notice. $1.50 each. 

 W. E. Chaplin (Chaplin, 1929). A most meritorious red Rose of 

 the Lord Charlemont type but better, being a free vigorous 

 grower with healthy disease-resisting foliage. The flowers are 

 large; every bud develops to a perfect full, high-centered, very 

 lasting moderately sweet scented flower. Color deep crimson, 

 deepening to carmine crimson; does not blue or burn; these are 

 carried on long strong stems, a very free continuous bloomer. 

 $2.00 each. 

 William E. Nickerson (Easlea, 1928). Very attractive and 

 distinct, a glowing orange cerise, large, ovoid buds, developing 

 into full double high-centered flowers of perfect form; very 

 lasting, moderately fragrant, borne singly on long strong stems. 

 A hardy vigorous grower with light green healthy foliage. A free 

 and continuous bloomer. A gem in every way. $1.50 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, President Hoover 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1931). A Rose that 

 pleases us not only on account of its large beautifully formed 

 double flowers but also for its remarkable fragrance of which 

 Mr. McGredy, the introducer, says, "No Rose has ever been 

 raised to compare wdth this variety for fragrance which is 

 most penetrating and of an entirely distinct sweet odor." The 

 plant is a strong vigorous grower and free bloomer; in color a 

 bright orange-scarlet, passing to bright rose towards the edge 

 of the petals. $2.00 each. 



President Hoover (L. B. Coddington, 1930). A glorious Rose, 

 wonderfully free in the easy manner in which it grows and 

 charming in its color arrangement which is a splendid com- 

 bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow; this combina- 

 tion of colors gives the most dazzling color effect imaginable. 

 The buds are beautifully pointed, the flowers large, composed of 

 broad thick heavy petals, with moderate fragrance. It is 

 exceptionally free flowering and everyone will be delighted with 

 its habit of growth. $1.50 each.

 developing to a splendid large, well-formed, attractive flower 

 of a luminous capucine yellow, with delicate salmon pink 

 suffusion and of strong delicious fragrance. The fine flowers 

 are borne singly on strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigorous 

 upright habit with healthy dark green glossy foliage. $1.50 each. 



Schwabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). There are many pink Roses 

 but none just like this new variety either in color or in the 

 splendid formation of its blooms. The flowers are large, over 

 five inches in diameter, with high spiral centre, the petals having 

 a peculiar twist or curl. In color it is a luminous rich rose pink, 

 retaining its brightness until the petals drop, the flowers are 

 carried singly on long stiff stems. A strong, healthy, hardy, 

 vigorous grower and free and perpetual flowering. $1 50 each.

 large cupped flower, 4^ inches or more in diameter, In the half 

 expanded bud the petals are incurved, of an intense deep

 petals. A moderately vigorous grower and a continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each.
