NEW IRISH HYBRID-TEA ROSES— Continued 



The varieties listed below, many of which are being offered exclusively by us in the United States this season, are the latest introduc- 

 tions of Messrs. Samuel McGredy & Sons of Portadown, Ireland, the originators of many of the prominent, popular varieties grown in 

 our gardens at this time. 



Marion Cran. Messrs. McGredy say of this novelty which is 

 now offered for the first time, "The color combination is the most 

 wonderful we have yet seen in any Rose. In the young stage, 

 before the flowers expand 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 

 toadeepceriseorbright rosy scarlet, flushed buttercup-yellow. 

 The whole flower glows, and has a wonderful sheen and when / 

 fully open, the color combination is delightful. The habit 

 is bushy, free, and upright, making a magnificent bush; one of 

 the freest and most perpetual flowering garden and bedding 

 Roses. Awarded Certificate of Merit by the National Rose 

 Society of England." $3.00 each. 



Mrs. R. B. Moloney. Pure brilliant crimson-carmine with- 

 out any variation, wonderfully brilliant and glowing. The 

 flowers are large, of perfect form, with reflexed petals of fine 

 substance and sweet scented. $2.00 each. 



Mrs. W. E. Nickerson. An extremely vigorous growing 

 very free-flowering Rose of the duatone Pernetiana type. 

 The splendidly-formed buds are of an entrancing new color, the 

 exterior of the petals heavily veined with rose d'or and shaded 

 orange-cadmium, the interior a deep chrome-yellow on the lower 

 half vein out and pass to a warm rich rosy-salmon. Valuable 

 for interior decoration, particularly so as the intensity of 

 coloring is especially effective under artificial light. $2.00 -^S 



each. 



Norman Lambert. V.'e have received many very favorable com- 

 ments from Rose friends who planted this variety during the past 

 season on account of its unusual coloring, and free habit of growth 

 and profuse flowering. A distinct color combination, 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 j 

 of burnt orange, the inside salmon-orange, suffused bronze, shading 

 to yellow at the base. $1.50 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose Norman Lambert 



Patience. Another Gold Medal Rose of marvelous beauty off- 

 ered for the first time this season. The color in the young stage 

 is a scarlet carmine lake. As the flower opens, the color is a deep 

 orange at base, shading to orange scarlet, scarlet and carmine lake, 

 these colors are shaded and mingled in a manner impossible 

 to describe. The flowers are large, full and of perfect form, 

 one of the delightful sorts in which every bloom comes per- 

 ; feet, they last for many days when cut and are delightfully 

 fragrant. A variety that we cheerfully recommend as one of 

 the best garden and cutting varieties. $2.50 each

 ing to moderately full flowers, sweetly scented. Color, imperial 

 pink flushed crimson and orange; the coloring is intensified by the 

 golden base of the petals, which gives the flowers a golden suf- 

 fusion which is difficult to convey. Growth vigorous and very 

 free-flowering. $1.50 each.
