New Hybrid-Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 
Mrs. Lovell Swisher (Howard & Smith, 1926). A re- 
markably vigorous grower of branching habit, well 
furnished with excellent foliage, freely producing 
perfectly formed long shapely buds with nicely re- 
flexing petals that develop into good double flowers. 
The color of the buds is a deep coppery salmon at 
base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. The de- 
veloped flowers are also salmon-pink, deepen- 
ing towards the centre. Delightfully tea 
scented. $60.00 per 100. 
-Mrs. W. E. Nickerson (McGredy, 1927). An ex- 
tremely 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 cad- 
mium, the interior a deep chrome-yellow on 
the lower half, veins out and passes to a warm 
rich rosy-salmon. $60.00 per 140. 
> Norman Lambert(McGredy, 1926)..A distinct color 
al combination that is novel. The outside of the 
petals is a deep chrome-yellow with a marginal 
eolor effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging 
to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside 
salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading to yel- 
3 low at the base. The flowers are of medium size 
7 and form, delightfully fragrant and free-flow- 
ering. A splendid bedder. S&75.00 per 100. 
AS | Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of 
very. recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed 
buds are 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 with glossy 
holly-like foliage and extremely free flowering for 
a Rose of its large size. $75.00 per 100. 
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, 
Miss Rowena Thom 
A _valuable bedding 
variety. 
Mrs, A. R. Barraclough (McGredy, 1926). A most dis- 
tinct and valuable Rose, of a bright but soft spark- 
ling carmine-pink of even tone that passes to yellow 
at the base of the petals; this attractive color does 
not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes 
richer and brighter. The bud is long pointed and 
develops into a full double flower of model form and 
substance; very fragrant. $60.00 per 100. 
Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most 
enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crim- 
son with velvety sheen which they describe as hav- 
ing large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding 
one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when 
at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous 
free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of

colored light lemon-yellow with the delightful per- 
fume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Habit of 
growth good, with disease-immune foliage, always 
in flower with large, long, oval-pointed buds. A 
Rose that is destined to become a popular favorite. 
Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose So- 
ciety and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society of England. $60.00 per 100. 
Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). This is one of 
the brilliant Roses that makes an instant appeal 
by its charming combination of unusual colors. The 
petals are orange-yellow on the outside, with a 
rich cerise flush that deepens towards the edge, 
and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 
cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors 
giving a warm tone to the whole flower, which is 
of moderate size, good form and thick texture of 
petal. They are very freely and continuously pro- 
duced and are fragrant. Foliage dark green and 
mildew proof, stems strong with few thorns carry- 
ing the flowers erect, free bushy habit. A Rose that 
has only to be seen to be admired. Certificate 
of Merit of National Rose Society, England. $125.00 
per 100. 
Mrs. C. W. Edwards (McGredy, 1924). Rich rosy-scar- 
let overlying an orange ground, the base of the 
petals prettily zoned citron-yellow which runs in 
faint veinings into the higher colors; a novel color 
combination. Strong, vigorous habit of growth; 
very free flowering, with large, full, fragrant flow- 
ers. $60.00 per 100. 
- 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 
1926). We are convinced that this is the best yel- 
Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). There are few 
low bedding Rose we have today. It is of clean 
healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 
disease-resisting foliage and a continuous’ free 
bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized 
buds are long and shapely and develop into good 
sized full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- 
low, sweetly scented. $60.00 per 100. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles (Chaplin, 1921). Everybody ad- 
mired the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, for a 
long time one of the most popular Roses, but which 
has practically disappeared from commerce. In this 
we have the same pleasing warm color values but 
in flowers of much greater size. Color a most effec- 
tive deep salmon-pink and of splendid form. Vig- 
orous growing and free flowering. $60.00 per 100. 
light colored Roses that possess a long spiral form 
in the bud stage, and large, well formed, fully de- 
veloped flowers of thick petalage and good lasting 
qualities, all of which are combined in Portadown 
Ivory. Its color is a creamy white of soft and deli- 
eate tone that merges into a light yellow base, 
really a color section in which there has been little 
or no development in recent years and in which this 
new variety will prove a valuable addition. It is 
free and perpetual flowering with very dark green 
healthy foliage which provides a rich contrast to the 
flowers which are borne on long stout stems. The 
plant is of vigorous constitution and free habit. 
Awarded Gold Medal of National Rose Society of 
England. $125.00 per 100.
