R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. ROSES 



Killarney Queen Rose 



HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 



$1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $80.00 per 100, except where 

 otherwise priced 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) A dainty little 

 Rose of soft fawn-yellow, occasionally paling to faint pinkish 

 cream, usually very double but varies somewhat. The plant 

 is dwarf, bushy, and especially valuable for edging beds of 

 taller Roses. 



Mrs. Ambrose Ricardo. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) A favorite 

 variety with Rose connoisseurs because of its giant golden 

 cream blooms of unusual incurved form which last well and 

 improve after cutting. 



Mrs. A. R. Waddell. (Pernet-Ducher, 1908.) A vigorous, 

 branching plant producing great quantities of large, semi- 

 double copper-pink and yellow flowers in sprays and clusters. 



Mrs. Charles Bell. (Mrs. Charles Bell, 1917.) Globular flowers 

 with pointed centres of the same type and habit as the famous 

 Radiance and Red Radiance, but incomparably more beautiful 

 in its soft flesh and salmon tints than either of them. 



Mrs. MacKellar. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1915.) Pale yellow 

 buds and cup-hke blooms of firm texture and great refinement 

 of form. 



Mrs. S. K. Rindge. (Howard & Smith, 1919.) Semi-double 

 blooms of pure sunflower-yellow, developing pink edges and 

 shadings as the flowers open and mature. A very free-flowering 

 and satisfactory Rose when it is happy. $1.25 each. 



Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909 ) 

 Large, peony-like flowers of light pink and rose, produced veiy 

 freely on the tips of stout branching canes. One of the most sat- 

 isfactory Roses for garden decoration, enduring for many years. 



Mrs. Wemyss Quin. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Excellent 

 buds and well-shaped blooms of strong lemon-yellow, keeping 

 their color until the petals drop. A wiry, branching bush 

 usually quite healthy. An especially fine Rose. 



Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the most popular 

 Roses ever grown, having pearly white blooms of ine.xpressibly 

 lovely form. In cool weather it is tinted with gold and pink. 



Padre. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Handsome buds and large, 

 semi-double blooms of flashy, reddish copper, paling a little 

 with age to glowing copper-orange. The plants are tall and 

 slender and should be grown close together in considerable 

 quantities to make a stunning show. $1.50 each. 



Pharisaer. (Hinner, 1903.) A charming old variety of rather 

 loose form with delicately fluted and ruffled petals varying 

 from blush-white to pale rose-pink, and is one of the most per- 

 sistent and liberal bloomers we know. 



Prince de Bulgarie. (Pernet-Ducher, 1902.) A delightful Rose 

 of Opheha type and much the same in color, having the same 

 tints of pearl, cream, and pink. It blooms very freely. 



Radiance. (John Cook, 1908.) It seems scarcely necessary to 

 describe this most popular Rose in America. The blooms are 

 large, silvery pink and deep rose, fragrant, and borne with ex- 

 ceptional freedom on a strong plant. Perhaps the easiest varie- 

 ty to grow of those which produce blooms of good cutting quality. 



Rayon d'Or. (Pernet-Ducher, 1910.) Chiefly valuable as a 

 curiosity because it was the first Hybrid Tea of pure unadul- 

 terated yellow. It is exceptionally beautiful and rather erratic 

 in habit, although in some sections of the country it is classed 

 as one of the finest and most dependable Roses. 



Red-Letter Day. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) A tall-growing, 

 branching bush producing large, starry, single flowers of vivid 

 scarlet with big centres of golden yellow stamens. Very showy 

 in the garden, especially against a background of evergreens. 



Red Radiance. (A. N. Pierson, 1916.) A hght crimson sport of 

 Radiance, which it resembles in all particulars, and many con- 

 sider it superior to that variety in blooming qualities. This 

 variety. Radiance, and Mrs. Charles Bell are the backbone of 

 many Rose-gardens. 



Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Golden yel- 

 low buds and blooms of the most glorious form, tinted on the 

 outside of the petals with reddish copper and bronze. An e.x- 

 ceptionally fine variety in the autumn and early in the season 

 and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Roses in 

 America. $2.00 each. 



Richmond. (E. G. Hill, 1905.) A glowing scarlet-crimson Rose 

 of the same general type as Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, and 

 General MacArthur. It was a popular florists' Rose years ago, 

 and it is still grown in the garden for its cutting quahties. 



Rose Marie. (F. Dorner & Sons Co., 1918.) A fine bedding 

 Rose of pleasing habit, bearing big, double blooms of excellent 

 form and rich glowng pink, usually edged a trifle lighter. The 

 flowers are delightfully fragrant and last well when cut. 



Sensation. (J. H. Hill, 1922.) A giant, rich, blackish crimson 

 Rose originally intended for the florists' trade, but it has done 

 so well in the garden that it is being recommended by informed 

 Rose-growers as one of the best recent red varieties. The flow- 

 ers are massive and borne on good stems for cutting. $1.50 each 



Shot Silk. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1924.) Large blooms of 

 cerise-pink, overlaid with golden yellow and orange tints. A 

 Rose of very striking color and gorgeous decorative effect. The 

 plant is dwarf, robust, and has glossy foliage. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) Light 

 lemon-yellow buds of exceptional form sometimes paling to 

 white at the edges and deepening to gold in the centre. A very 

 free-flowering, true yellow variety, which hkes full sunshine 

 and warm, dry weather. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Giant 

 reddish pink buds and blooms of globular form with a pointed 

 centre and a touch of orange at the base of the petals. Re- 

 markable for its great size and comparative freedom of bloom. 

 The plants are dwarf and stocky. $1.50 each. 



Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 

 1923.) A firm-petaled Rose of the Golden Ophelia type, with a 

 somewhat deeper orange-cream tone at the base of the petals, 

 paling to creamy white at the edges. The plant is quite vigor- 

 ous and blooms liberally throughout the season. $1.50 each. 



Sunstar. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1921.) A glowing brownish 

 golden Rose, edged with scarlet and crimson, practically single, 

 and the color pales to lemon edged with pink in hot sunshine. 

 The plant is bushy and very free flowering, striking in color, 

 and of unusual value for decorative effect. $1.50 each. 



William F. Dreer. (Howard & Smith, 1920.) Much on the 

 order of the more famous Los Angeles, especially in shape. It 

 is more yellow, and its tints of gold and pink are delicate and 

 charming. A somewhat erratic plant, seeming to enjoy half 

 shade where the sun is very strong, and worth considerable 

 attention for the extreme delicacy of its bloom. 



Willowmere. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Long-pointed buds and 

 blooms of glowing pink, suffused with yellow at the base of the 

 petals. Erect, vigorous growth. One of the showiest and most 

 prolific bedding Roses which produces high-quahty blooms. 



Winnie Davis. (Nanz & Neumer, 1900.) Large, pointed buds 

 and flowers of pale pink tinted with deeper rose. Very vigorous 

 and free-flowering. It resembles Betty in form. 



Pot-grown plants of a number of Hybrid Tea Roses (a list of which will be sent upon request) for planting after May 15, $1.25 each; 



$11.00 for 10; $90.00 per 100.
