New Hybrid-Tea Roses and Varieties of Special Merit 



Ne-w Hybrid-Ten Rose, Mrs. E}rsklne Pembroke Thom 

 The Best YelloiT Garden Rose 



Mrs. A. R, Barraclongh (McGredy, 1926). A most dis- 

 tinct and valuable Rose, of a bright but soft spark- 

 ling carmine-pink of even tone that passes to yel- 

 low at the base of the petals: this attractive color 

 does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything 

 becomes richer and brighter. The bud is long 

 pointed and develops into a full double flower of 

 model form and substance; very fragrant. .1»40.00 

 per 100. 



Mrs. Ersklne Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 

 1926). We are convinced that this is the best yel- 

 low bedding Rose we have to-day. It Is of clean 

 healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 

 disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free 

 bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized 

 buds are long and shapely and develop into good 

 sized full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- 

 low, sweetly scented. $40.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Herbert Dowsett (Easlea, 1928). Originated as 

 a sport from Los Angeles, large ovoid bud, large 

 full double very lasting, well shaped, moderately 

 fragrant flower. In color it is several shades deeper 

 than its popular parent. Growth vigorous, bushy 

 habit and a continuous bloomer. $75.00 per 100. 



Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct 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. Free-flowering. A splendid bedder. 

 $50.00 per 100. 



Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of 

 recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds 

 are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fra- 

 grant 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 

 I 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- 

 eis 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. 



Portadown (McGredy, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most 

 enthusiastic in their praise of this deep crimson 

 with velvety sheen which they describe as having 

 large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding 

 one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when 

 at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a contin- 

 uous free bloomer with dark green foliage. $75.00 

 per 100. 



Partadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). This is one of 

 the brilliant Roses that makes an instant appeal 

 by its charming combination of unusual colors. The 

 petals are orange-yellow on the outside, with a 

 rich cerise flush that deepens towards the edge, 

 and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- 

 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. $75.00 per 100.
