Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 



Hilda (Cant & Son, 1928). Large globular bud and very large extremely 

 double, very lasting, slightly fragrant Camellia-formed or imbricated 

 flowers of a bright carmine, the inner petals shading to light pink, usual- 

 ly borne several together on long stems. Growth very vigorous, free 

 and continuous bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). A novelty which on account 

 of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double flower, 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. 

 The plant is a strong vigorous upright grower and free flowering. 

 $1.50 each. 



Ivanhoe (Easlea, 1928). Large long pointed bud and large high 

 centered, long lasting, intensely fragrant, brilliant scarlet to rich 

 crimson-scarlet flower. Growth vigorous; a free, continuous bloomer. 

 $1.50 each. 



Ivy May (Beckwith & Son, 1925). One of the most attractive 

 varieties of Ophelia type. Color a pretty rose pink running to 

 amber at the base, flushed with gold on the outside and at the 

 edges of the petals; glowing and sparkling. Buds long pointed and 

 shapely, opening to fairly double, well-formed, sweetly-scented 

 flowers. Habit vigorous and upright; a very free and continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each. 

 James Gibson (McGredy & Son, 1928). A glorious glowing crimson- 

 scarlet with velvety sheen, imparting a lustrous radiance to the large, 

 full beautifully formed flowers of which every bloom develops to per- 

 fection. Its habit of growth is as near perfect as could be desired,

 profusely all the season, are carried erect on long stems. $1.50 each.

New Hybrid-Tea Rose, J. C. Thornton 



Frau Hugo Lauster (Pfitzer, 1931). The freest-flowering yellow Rose 



that has yet come to our notice. The very shapely buds of medium 



length develop into full double, well-formed flowers of medium size; in 



color a deep canary yellow shading lighter to the edge of the petals as 



the flowers mature. These are delightfully sweet-scented. The plant is 



of vigorous upright habit of growth with dark green disease-resisting 



foliage. $1.50 each. 

 Gaiety (E. G. Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, developing to a 



large shapely semi-double, cupped, very lasting flower composed of 



ruffled petals which as they unfold show various shades of orange, 



Indian red, yellow, and pink or fawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous 



branching habit, with good healthy foliage and very free flowering. 



$1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent Rose of Australian origin 

 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 moderately 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, with large glossy healthy green foliage, very 

 free flowering with usually three or more flowers on each branch. 

 $1.50 each. 



Gruss an Coburg (Felberg, Leclerc, 1927). An attractive variety with 



brilliant coppery orange red buds and large double, full, very fragrant 



flowers, of a brilliant combination of fawn, golden yellow and coppery 



red. A strong healthy grower and a perpetual bloomer. $1.50 each. 

 Heinrich Eggers (W. Kordes, 1928). Well shaped long spiral buds and 



large bold full double high centered flowers of perfect shape. Color an 



orange tinted pink with yellow shadings at base. Very strong free 



flowering habit. $1.50 each. 



In a French Contest September 15th, 1931, Mme. Nicolas Aussel was 

 voted an award of a Gold Medal as the Most Beautiful Rose in France.
