Novelties of 1929 and 1930 
Introductions of The Rose World’s Most Noted Specialists 
Many of the varieties offered here are controlled by us exclusively this season. 
Abol (F. Evans, 1927). An exceptionally vigorous 
growing, very free-flowering, new white. No other 
white variety, and for that matter, very few colored 
varieties, have such a delightful sweet perfume as 
this novelty. In the bud stage and before the 
flowers are fully expanded, the centre petals are 
sometimes tinted with pink on the edges of the 
petals, passing to pure white as the flowers develop. 
A good shapely bud and full, double, well formed 
flower produced very freely on long upright stems 
with very few thorns. $75.00 per 100. 
Betty Suttor (McGredy & Son, 1929). Exquisite both 
in bud and fully developed flower, a great advance 
over the old favorite Mme. Abel Chatenay, long 
shapely bud and moderately large full double high 
centered flower of tea perfume. In color the inside 
of the petals are of delicate rosy pink, the outside 
a bright rosy pink. As the flower opens there is a 
delightful reflecting of the petals which enhance 
the beauty of the pink tones by bringing each into 
bolder relief. Strong vigorous healthy growth and 
very free. $75.00 per 100. 
Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long 
pointed conical buds with the edges of the outer 
petals gracefully rolled back; flowers very large 
and full double, high centre, slightly fragrant and 
borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 
first expanding, slightly lemon: tinted, changing to 
a pure white as the flowers develop. Habit very 
erect, of vigorous constitution, dark green disease- 
resistant foliage, and a continuous free bloomer; a 
fine garden Rose. Awarded Gold Medal Scottish 
Rose Society and Certificate of Merit National Rose 
Society of England. $75.00 per 100. 
Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A bril- 
liant distinct and striking novelty which we know 
will appeal to and please every Rose lover. The 
buds are long pointed of perfect shape, opening 
to high centered perfectly formed full double flow- 
ers of a rich and brilliant oriental red, flushed with 
orange and flowering scarlet. A vigorous grower; 
very free flowering and sweetly  tea-scented. 
Awarded Gold Medal National Rose Society of Eng- 
land, Spring, 1927. $75.00 per 100. 
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Caledonia 
Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925). An appropriate name for 
a daintily colored and well formed single flower, 
3% inches in diameter composed of delicately crin- 
kled and wavy petals of a pleasing shade of shell 
pink with a conspicuous bunch of crimson stamens. 
The flowers last well when cut and are charming 
when displayed in individual vases. A strong, vigor- 
ous grower and profuse flowering, the flowers being 
produced on strong branching stems. Awarded the 
Gold Medal of the National English Rose Society in 
1925. $75.00 per 100. 
Dorina Neave (Pemberton, 1926). A meritorious bed- 
ding Rose of a delightful silvery pink with large, 
full, pointed, globular, fragrant flowers carried 
erect on stiff stems. Plant of strong, bushy, com- 
pact habit. $75.00 per 100. 
Dr. Andrew Carnegie (Ferguson, 1927). A sport from 
the well known Mrs. Henry Morse, identical in every 
way except in color, which is of a light silvery pink 
with deeper reflex, yellowish at base. <A_ strong 
vigorous grower and very free. $75.00 per 100. 
Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). A variety 
that will charm every. lover of a real good Rose. Its 
color is fascinating, the margin of the petals being 
a delicate tint of shrimp pink gradually merging to 
a deep salmon-orange towards the base of the artis- 
tically reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full 
flower, that has good lasting qualities. The habit 
of the plant is ideal, upright, strong and free flow- 
ering, with very healthy foliage. $75.00 per 100. 
Duchess of Athol (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring 
of this new variety is uncommon and delightful, an 
old golden-orange flushed with peach pink, particu- 
larly attractive in the bud and open state, growth 
vigorous, a free and continuous profuse bloomer. 
Awarded Certificate of Merit of the National Rose 
Society of England. $75.00 per 100.
