The Newer Varieties 



Mrs. F. R. Pierson (H. T.) 



Winner of the Coolidge Gold Medal offered by President Calvin Coolidge at the :' 

 Flower Show. Grand Central Palace, New York City, March 16, 1926; also five other .; 

 Gold Medals and Certificates of Merit. We believe that tliis Rose has carried off more i 

 honors than any other new Rose ever introduced. As a commercial or garden red Rose, Mrs. f 

 F. R. Pierson has never been equalled. It can be grown to larger size than American Reauty, i^ 

 even at its best. It has an equally large flower, better color, with fine, heavy, dark foliage, ; 

 strong stems, and very fragrant. It is a color hard to describe, cardinal-red, or as described by t 

 New York experts, "a crimson Rose flooded with sunshine." The buds are long and pointed, of " 

 ideal shape and form. 



Briarcliff (H. T.) 



This is a beautifully formed, light pink Rose, a sport of Columbia. The bud is beautifully 

 formed, long and pointed, every flower opening perfectly. It is a great improvement on , 

 Columbia, retaining all the good qualities of its parent, with none of its faults. The color is , 

 more brilliant than Columbia, being a pure pink. Those who have trouble in growing Columbia I 

 on account of the bullheads, which come-frequently, will find that they will have no such trouble '. 

 with Briarcliff. as it opens perfectly in all kinds of weather. 



Lord Charlenaont (H. T.) 

 Flowers clear crimson, deepening to carmine crimson with almost black shadings, perfectly 

 shaped, long pointed buds, large and full sweetly scented flowers. Free-growing and free-flower- 

 ing, a splendid Rose of exceptional richness and beauty. 



Royal Red (H. T.) 



A vigorous grower, large heavy dark green foliage and good bloom of intense glowing crim- 

 son. The buds are large, well formed and the fragrance is delightful. 



Sensation (H. T.) 



As the name implies it is a "Sensation," due to the color and habit of growth. Anyone that 

 has seen Premier can imagine what this is like, being better in every way, color, foliage and 

 growth. Ruds long and pointed, opening full and double and retaining its color in the open flower. 

 Rlooms produced on long stiff stems well above the foliage and in great profusion. Color an 

 entrancing shade of red. 



Wm. F. Dreer (H. T.) 



On account of unusued color of the bud and bloom makes the rose one of the most attractive 

 of the new varieties. The color is one so hard to accurately describe that one has to see it In 

 order to conceive its beauty. Soft apricot pink deepening on outside to a salmon pink which 

 produces a charming effect. Profuse bloomer and good grower.
