developing to large shapely semi-double, cupped,

 plant is of strong, vigorous habit, with good 

 healthy foliage and very free flowering. $75.00 per

Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new 

 Rose of Australian origin with which we have been 

 most favorably impressed and in which we have an 

 ideal garden Rose of great merit of an exquisite 

 light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid 

 form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening 

 and develop into splendidly shaped full double mod- 

 erately fragrant flowers which are of a uniform 

 color, reminding one of the old favorite Marechal 

 Niel and which was suggestive of the name Golden 

 Dawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous upright 

 branching habit, very free flowering with usually 

 three or more flowers on each branch. :|;gO.O() per

Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). A novelty 

 which on account of its coloring and its perfectly 

 formed large double flowers will please every Rose 

 lover. The ovoid buds when first unfolding are 

 cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop into 

 very large, full double very perfect blooms that last 

 in good shape and which are of a pretty salmon- 

 cerise color suffused with a luminous golden sheen.

 petals; glowing and sparkling. Buds of medium

 free and continuous bloomer. A splendid garden 

 Rose and a beautiful cut-flower. $75.«»0 per 100. 



I. Zingarl (J. H. Pemberton, 1925). The most vivid 

 shade of orange scarlet that one can picture, rich 

 and glowing; while the flowers are only semi- 

 double it always attracts attention on account ot 

 its rich color and is worthy of a place in every 

 garden. It blooms profusely and continuously, 

 usually in sprays of several blooms; the glossy 

 dark green foliage accentuates its vivid color.

 glowing crimson-scarlet with velvety sheen, Im- 

 parting a lustrous radiance to the large, full, beau- 

 tifully formed flowers of which every bloom devel- 

 ops to perfection. Its habit of growth Is as near 

 perfect as could be desired, being free, bushy, up- 

 right and vigorous and the flowers which are borne 

 profusely all the season, are carried erect on long 

 stems with good disease resistant foliage. A bril- 

 liant Rose of exceptional beauty. $75.00 per 100.

 flower of a most dainty and effective color combin-

cut flower and from our observations we believe it 

 will prove equally valuable and meritorious for the 

 garden. The buds are large, long pointed and open 

 to large, full, semi-double, attractive, long lasting-, 

 moderately fragrant flowers of a clear yellow with 

 orange yellow heart. They are borne singly on 

 long strong stems; growth vigorous, upright, a pro-
