36 HENRY A. DREER Roses WHOLESALE LIST 
This Year’s New Hybrid-Tea Roses—continued 
Introductions of the Rose World’s Most Noted Specialists 
Mrs. Sam MeGredy (McGredy, 1929). The following is 
an extract of Messrs. MeGredy’s description of this 
beautiful new variety: “The color is quite distinct 
from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual 
combination of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet 
coppery-orange is heavily flushed with Lincoln-red 
on the outside of the petals, and these colors to- 
gether give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The 
flowers are of large size and beautiful. form, and 
they possess the proper fullness to make them use- 
ful for all purposes. They are very freely produced 
and delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous 
and exceptionally free habit and is for all Rose 
growers the best all-purpose variety we have 
raised.’ $100.00 per 100. 
Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinet color‘ 
combination that is novel. The outside of the petals 
is a deep chrome-yellow with a marginal color ef- 
fect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging to an irreg- 
ular zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon-orange 
suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The 
flowers are of medium size and form, delightfully 
fragrant and free-flowering. A splendid bedder. 
$50.00 per 100. 
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. $50.00 per 100. 
Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the 
Ophelia type that we feel confident will become a 
general favorite. Buds long and of perfect shape, 
the centre golden yellow passing to a tender flushed 
pink towards the edges; as the large full fine flow- 
ers develop the golden base comes well up on the 
petals, the outer petals pass to a creamy white 
with just the faintest touch of pink. A strong 
healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly scented. 
$75.00 per 100. 
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom 
Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most The Best Yellow Garden Rose 
enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crim- 
son with velvety sheen which they describe as we 
ing large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding Stars 
one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). This is one of 
at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous the brilliant Roses that makes an instant appeal 
free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of by its charming combination of unusual colors. The

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. A Rose that has only to be 
seen to be admired. Certificate of Merit of National 
Rose Society, England. $75.00 per 100. 
Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). A model flower, 
in color a creamy white of soft and delicate tone 
that merges into a light yellow base, really a color 
section in which there has been little or no develop- 
ment in recent years and in which this new variety 
will prove a valuable addition. It is free and per- 
petual flowering with very dark green healthy foli- 
age 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. 
President Jac Smits (Verschuren & Sons, 1928). For 
brilliancy 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 brillianey of color is 
: unequaled by any other variety of this type. $50.00 
Van Rossem per 100.
