NEW ROSES— Continued 



David O. Dodd 



Hybrid Tea. A new crimson Rose with great 

 possibilities as a bedder. A magnificent rich 

 crimson, flushed scarlet, with well shaped buds, 

 carried erect and opening into a large beautifully 

 shaped flower. Very free flowering; growth 

 bushy and upright. 



We consider this fine Rose to be one of the 



best of its color, a great advance on all other 



crimson bedding varieties and certainly it is 



destined to become a great popular favorite. A 



splendid Rose with no apparent faults. 



Etoile de Holland (H. T.). Flower bright, 



dark red, of medium size, fairly full; delicious- 



ly perfumed. Growth vigorous, upright. A 



cross between General McArther and Hadley. 



A rose of great future. 



Earl Gray (Double Richmond) (H. T.). A 



beautiful rich crimson scarlet; lovely pointed 



form; not a large Rose, but of medium size. 



Wm. F. Dreer (H. T.) On account of unusual 



color of the bud and bloom makes the rose one 



of the most attractive of the new varieties. 



The color is one so hard to accurately describe 



that one has to see it in order to conceive its 



beauty. Soft apricot pink deepening on 



outside to a salmon pink which produces a 



charming effect. Profuse bloomer and good 



grower. 



Marjorie Bulkeley (H. T.). Color a buff ochre, 



heavily flushed rosy pink developing to silvery 



pink as the flower expands. Vigorous growth. 



Therese Zeimet-Lambert (H. T.). Richmond 



X Mrs. Aaron Ward. Type, Killarney. Bud 



large, long-pointed; flower large, full, double, 



high-centered; deep rose, with yellow ground, 



orange base; borne singly, on long stem.

Hybrid Tea. Honored with the name of our veteran Rosarian, 

 this fine seedling of La France is noted for its profusion of bloom 

 throughout the entire season. The buds form in clusters of two 

 to six. The flowers are similar to La France in color, but it is a 

 great improvement of that variety in its quick growth and 

 freedom from black-spot. A fine Rose, suitable for all purposes. 

 Pink Beauty (H. T.). A production of the well-known Rose 

 hybridist, John Cook, of Baltimore, this is one of the finest 

 garden Roses ever produced. The big, globular buds are deep 

 satiny pink, changing to paler pink when the beautiful cup- 

 shaped bloom is fully open. It is extremely fragrant, free- 

 blooming, and the flowers last a long time. The bush is hardy 

 and resistant to disease. A rose of real merit. Awarded the 

 Silver Medal at the Hartford Trial-Grounds. 

 America (H. T.). A cross between Premier and Hoosier Beauty. 

 Color a lovely peach blow shade or rose pink, very fragrant 

 Buds of great length and pointed, opening into an enormous 

 flower from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and borne on long stiff 

 stems, making it an ideal cutting variety. Excellent for 

 forcing and outdoor planting. Foliage large dark green, stems 

 thornless. Vigorous grower and free bloomer. Resembles 

 somewhat Columbia in color and form of bud.

Gentlemen: — The roses arrived yesterday afternoon in the pink of 

 condition. They were packed so perfectly that one would think they were 

 sent from a nurseryman next door. 



I wish to express my very sincere appreciation, as you have sent 

 me much better Roses than I paid for, which is unusual treatment these days. 

 I made a new rose bed and thought I could afford to wait for blossoms until 

 next year, but it will be my fault if these do not bloom this fall. 



I was telUng a friend of mine what a delightful surprise you had 

 given me and he said "Oh yes, they have always treated their customers 

 royally. I know from experience, as I bought Roses from them forty years ago." 

 Yours very truly, Eva F. Maguire
