HYBRID-TEA ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 



MERITORIOUS RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 

 AND GENERAL LIST OF BEST VARIETIES— Continued 



Ophelia. A variety which has made such a record for itself that 

 qualifies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is ad- 

 mired by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, 

 are of perfect form, good size, and of a most pleasing delicate 

 tint of salmon-flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. 

 Padre. Most attractive and novel in coloring, with long petals 

 of a coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at the base. Growth 

 strong and upright and exceedingly free-flowering. 

 Patience. Splendid long pointed buds of a deep scarlet 

 carmine opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms 

 that shade from orange at the base of the petals to rich 

 carmine at the edges. It is of strong robust habit and 

 extremely free flowering for a Rose of its size. 

 Pink Pearl. In color a brilliant rich cerise pink the base of the 

 petals touched with gold that lights up the flower wonderfully. 

 The flowers are full double, of perfect form, delightfully sweet- 

 scented and produced profusely. 

 President Jac Smits. For brilliancy in color, a rich velvety 

 crimson-scarlet, exceptionally long pointed buds of ideal shape, 

 produced most generously, we know of no other variety that 

 is its equal, but having only 18 to 20 petals, the flowers expand 

 very quickly, showing the golden stamens, but even in its fully 

 expanded form its brilliancy of color is unequaled by any 

 other variety. 

 Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that con- 

 tinues to produce its large fragrant flowers throughout the 

 most unfavorable hot summer weather when frequently many 

 other varieties fail; in color a brilliant carmine-pink, with 

 salmon-pink and yellow shadings at the base of the petals; truly 

 a Rose for every garden. 

 Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a 

 "sport," possessing all the good traits of that valuable variety 

 but differing in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Henry Bowles 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. A remarkably floriferous variety of strong, 



vigorous, but compact growth; the fragrant flowers, full double, 



in color a distinct Indian-yellow, shading lighter towards the 



edges. 

 Mrs. Beatty. An exquisite self-colored light lemon-yellow with 



the delightful perfume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. 

 Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in habit to Radiance with splendid 



buds and flowers of fine globular form, of a lovely shell-pink 



color with salmon shadings, sweetly scented. 

 Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties grown, 



always in flower and perfect in every stage of development. 



In color iti s of an intense brilliant pink with lighter salmon pink 



shadings. A model Rose in every way. 

 Mrs. Henry Morse. One of the best light pink varieties. 



Color two contrasting tones of pink with an underlying yellow 



glow, flowers large, full and very high pointed, fragrant and very 



free flowering.* 

 Mrs. Lovell Swisher. A remarkably vigorous grower of 



branching habit, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely 



buds that develop into good double flowers. The color is a 



deep coppery salmon at base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. 

 Mrs. Redford. Bright apricot-orange one of the most lovely of 



this tone of color, an upright grower with holly-like mildew-proof 



foliage. The flowers are perfect in form, very free blooming. 

 Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. As a pink bedding Rose 



there i s none better. The flowers are of large size, remain 



perfect for a long time, and are produced very freely; they are 



of a bright pink color with lighter shadings. 

 Mrs. William C. Egan. A vigorous strong healthy grower, 



with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that develop 



into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the 



reverse of the petals a soft light pink, theinterior deep flesh color. Mme. Edouard Herriot or Daily Mail Rose
