 tions but always beautiful. $35.00 per 100.

Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). In a 

 French contest, Sept. 15th, 1931, this variety was 

 voted an award of a Gold Medal as The Most Beau- 

 tiful Rose in Prance. An outstanding introduction 

 of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright 

 coppery-red in the very long, shapely, tapering bud 

 that develops into a large, full double flower of an 

 exquisite opalescent salmon-pink. Growth vigorous 

 and healthy, free and continuous bloomer. $40.00 

 per 100. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The color of 

 this beautiful variety is quite distinct from any- 

 thing yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual combi- 

 nation of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet coppery- 

 orange is heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the 

 outside of the petals, and these colors together 

 give a rich and almost dazzling effect. The flowers 

 are of large size and beautiful form, and they pos- 

 sess the proper fullness to make them useful for 

 all purposes. They are very freely produced and 

 delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous and 

 exceptionally free habit and is one of the best all- 

 purpose varieties. $40.00 per 100. 



Olympiad (Pernet-Ducher, 1931). The color of Olym- 

 piad is unique, a lustrous, dark oriental-scarlet, its 

 depth and warmth accentuated by a bright golden 

 base and is intensified by a marvelous velvety sheen 

 that makes its rich coloring particularly effective, 

 especially under artificial light. 



The bud is long and pointed, the petals are very 

 broad and the blossom is magnificent in every stage 

 of development. $40.00 per 100. 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1930). A Rose that 

 pleases not only on account of its beautiful forma- 

 tion and color but also for its remarkable sweet 

 fragrance, described by its introducer as surpass- 

 ing any other variety. The bud is long-pointed; 

 the flower very large, double, high-centered and 

 unusually long lasting. Color brilliant orange- 

 scarlet passing to bright rose towards the edge of 

 the petals: of vigorous habit and free flowering. 

 $40.00 per 100. 



Schwabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). There are many pink 

 Roses but none just like this new variety either 

 in color or in the splendid formation of its blooms. 

 The flowers are large, over five inches in diameter, 

 with high spiral center, the petals having a peculiar 

 twist or curl. In color it is a luminous rich rose- 

 pink, retaining its brightness until the petals drop, 

 the flowers are carried singly on long stiff stems. 

 A strong, healthy, hardy, vigorous grower and free 

 flowering. $40.00 per 100. 



Vaterland (Pfltzer, 1928). The most distinct dark 

 colored variety yet introduced, deeper and richer in 

 effect than the Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince 

 Camille de Rohan, a rich, deep, velvety scarlet 

 maroon and a splendidly formed, high-centered 

 flower of remarkable keeping qualities. The plant 

 is of vigorous strong erect habit with healthy 

 foliage and free and perpetual flowering; unques- 

 tionably the best of this type that has yet come to 

 our notice. $40.00 per 100.
