Some modern critics 
lament the absence of fragrance at the expense 
of vivid colors, but in the beautifully formed 
good sized flowers of Lady Leslie we have a combina- 
tion of sweetest fragrance and brilliancy in coloring. 
In the early stages the flowers are rosy. scarlet 
which, as they develop, passes to a scarlet-carmine 
suffused with saffron yellow on a yellow base, a 
warm glowing color combination particularly in the 
young state. The plant is of ideal bedding type 
with free upright bushy growth and healthy dark 
green foliage. Awarded Certificate of Merit Na-

of unique color, the flowers in the young stage are 
a deep sunflower-yellow heavily veined and splashed 
with orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply suf- 
fused with carmine, as the flowers. develop these 
colors intermingle forming a beautiful cadmium

to a full double flower of pleasing decorative form 
of delightfully sweet scent. $75.00 per 100.

prolific flowering. Flowers delightfully fragrant.

Lord Charlemont (McGredy, 1922). Although intro- 
duced some seven years since, this beautiful variety 
is still very scarce. It is the most gorgeous and 
brilliant dark red Rose we have with flowers of the 
most intense clear crimson-scarlet, deepening to 
carmine-crimson with almost black shadings with 
perfectly shaped long pointed buds and large, full 
double, sweetly scented flowers. Free growing and

one of McGredy’s most brilliantly colored master- 
pieces, large, beautifully shaped full double flowers, 
entirely distinct from all others in its rich color- 
ing which is a brilliant shade of Turkish or Ori- 
ental red passing as the flowers age to a beautiful 
carmine-rose, these are borne on long stiff stems 
and hold their form and beauty for a long time. 
$60.00 per 100. 
Marion Cran (McGredy, 1927). 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 to a deep cerise on bright rosy- 
searlet flushed buttercup-yellow. The whole flower 
glows and has a wonderful sheen and when fully 
open the color combination is delightful. The flowers 
are full, of nice form, and medium to fairly large 
in size. The habit is bushy, free, and upright mak- 
ing a magnificent bush; one of the freest and most 
perpetual flowering garden and bedding Roses.

large, long pointed developing to very large, very 
full, double long lasting fragrant, velvety scarlet-

Medal at Saverne. $75.00 per 100. 
May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magnificently 
formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and 
artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of 
immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, 
their formation making a beautifully built long 
bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner 
face of the petals evolves from a bright salmon 
pink in the bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright 
pink in the more developed flower; the outer side 
passes from deep rose to rosy pink and finally to 
bright rose, the blending of these tones creating a 
wonderful color harmony. 
In growth, it is upright and free, throwing many 
base and side shoots which produce long-stemmed 
flowers quickly and freely. Very sweet scented.

marvelously beautiful Rose with a unique color 
combination not found in any other variety, a most 
striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot 
on a golden yellow ground with frequently touches 
of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The sweet- 
scented flowers are very large, of perfect forma-

oped flower and are produced very freely on vigorous 
upright growths. Gold Medal at The Hague and

Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This 
splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- 
ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom

lar bedding variety, Souvenir de Georges Pernet, 
excepting in color which is much lighter, being a 
pretty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper 
base. $75.00 per 100. 
Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 
vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and 
in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this

while its flowers in size and form are equal to the 
best high-class varieties of recent introduction and 
all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. 
Its buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect 
double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a bril- 
liant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a 
golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- 
fold, adds to the brillianey of its coloring. $75.00 
per 100.
