New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom 
The Best Yellow Garden Rose 
President Jae Smits (Verschuren & Sons, 1928). For 
brillianey in color, a rich velvety crimson-scarlet, 
exceptionally long pointed buds of ideal shape, held 
gracefully on long straight stems and produced 
most generously, we Know of no other variety that 
is its equal, but having only 18 to 20 petals, usually 
arranged in three rows, the flowers expand very 
quickly, showing the golden stamens, but even in 
its fully expanded form its brillianecy of color is 
unequaled by any other variety of this type. As a 
brilliant pedding proposition or for cutting in bud 
form, no one will be disappointed. President Jac 
Smits, we believe, will supersede and displace all 
such popular bedding varieties as Red Letter Day, 
Hawlmark Crimson and K of K (Kitchener of Khar- 
toum). $75.00 per 100. 
Rev. F. Page Roberts (Cant & Son, 1921). A Rose of 
remarkable beauty both in form and color. The long 
pointed buds are of a coppery-red stained red on the 
outside and open to good full double fragrant flow- 
ers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in 
late summer and fall. The plant is of vigorous 
branching habit with beautiful foliage. A most dis- 
tinct variety that has deservedly gained great popu- 
larity. $60.00 per 100. 
Royal Seot (Dobbie & Co., 1928). A variety of gor- 
geous coloring with large ovoid buds of the type of 
Lord Lambourne but much brighter in coloring, a 
rich golden yellow with crimson edges, the open 
flowers are of medium size, semi-double, light yel- 
low with crimson edged petals and are borne sev- 
eral together on long stems, growth vigorous, very 
profuse flowering, of moderate fragrance. $75.00 
per 100. 
Souvenir @Alexander Bernaix 
Wilhelm Kordes (Ikordes, 1922). 
Rudolph Valentino (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). The latest 
of Mr. Pernet’s introductions. Altogether different 
from any other Rose, both in coloring and forma- 
tion, the very large full flower which is informally, 
but artistically arranged, is of a lively shade of 
shrimp pink or coral-red with a golden coppery suf- 
fusion which is heightened by the reflection from 
the golden base and reverse of the petals. A most 
unique and striking flower in all stages of devel- 
opment. Habit strong and vigorous, free and con- 
tinuous flowering and delicately scented. $125.00 
per 100. 
Sir David Davis (McGredy, 1926). As this variety has 
shown up during the past three seasons we do not 
hesitate on account of its profuseness in flowering, 
its free vigorous growth and its good color to select 
it as one of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an 
unfading deep glowing crimson of an even shade 
throughout running to light yellow at the base of 
petals. The flowers are of good size, pointed and of 
good form with large heavy petals, exceptionally 
free-flowering and strongly sweet-scented. $60.00 
per 100. 
(Bernaix, 1926). A 
beautiful large flower, 4% inches or more in diame- 
ter and unique and distinct in color, probably the 
deepest colored of any Hybrid-Tea variety. While 
the flower is of flat cupped form both in bud as well 
as in the fully developed bloom, it is of artistic build 
and full double with from 48 to 50 substantial petals 
which are neatly arranged. In the half-expanded 
bud the petals are incurved, of an intense deep vel- 
vety crimson-red on a maroon ground with touches 
of scarlet on the outer petals. As the flower fully 
develops it becomes suffused with vermilion carmine 
at the edge of the petals. $125.00 per 100. 
Vermilion (Barbier & Co., 1930). A semi-double flower, 
of medium size but remarkable for its brillianey in 
color which is found only in this variety on account 
of which, together with its freedom of bloom, it has 
been admired by all who have seen it in our trial 
grounds. It is a rich vermilion scarlet, deep golden- 
yellow at the base of the petals, and frequently this 
golden yellow color is also shown on the tips of the 
petals. $75.00 per 100. 
Ville de Paris (City of Paris) (Pernet-Doucher, 1926). 
One of Pernet-Ducher’s Gold Medal Roses which 
award it received in the International trials at the 
Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, in the summer of 1926. 
It is of a rich buttercup-yellow much in the style 
of Mrs. Beckwith but with longer buds and larger 
flowers and purer in color. The plant is of vigor- 
ous growth and very free flowering, a splendid rich 
yellow garden variety. $60.00 per 100. 
Unique and entirely 
distinct in coloring; a rich capucine red with coppery 
suffusion overlying a golden-salmon ground, vary- 
ing in intensity under different weather conditions, 
but always beautiful and particularly high colored 
early in the season and in the autumn. The buds are 
long and pointed, opening to double high-centered 
very fragrant flowers. Habit compact but vigorous, 
very free flowering. $60.00 per 100.
