NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE 

 OL YMPIAD 



{Mme. Raymond Gaujard) 



One of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher's 

 seedlings that did not develop its bloom 

 until after this great rosarian passed 

 away in 1929. It was shown in Prance 

 under the name Mme. Raymond Gaujard, 

 but will now be known as Olympiad 

 which name has* been adopted in connec- 

 tion with the International Olympic 

 games which will be held in California 

 this season, the year of the distribution 

 of this grand new Rose. The entire 

 American stock of this variety is con- 

 trolled mutually by Messrs. Howard & 

 Smith and ourselves, as have been all of 

 Mr. Pernet-Ducher's introductions since 

 1921. 



We believe Olympiad to be the sensa- 

 tional Rose of the decade and the out- 

 standing novelty of 1932. The color is 

 absolutely unique — a lustrous dark orien- 

 tal scarlet, its depth and warmth ac- 

 centuated by a bright golden base. This 

 richness is further intensified by a mar- 

 velous velvety sheen that renders the 

 flower exceedingly effective especially in; 

 artificial light, with a scarlet glow of flame-like brilliancy. The distinctive beauties of Olympiad, con- 

 spicuous though they are, have been found indescribable even by the experts; words cannot convey a true 

 and accurate conception either of its bizarre and exquisite coloring or its superb form. It is the Rose Of 

 supreme loveliness and cannot be visualized but must be seen. 



The bud is long and pointed, the petals are very broad, and the blossom is magnificent in every stage 

 of development. It is long-stemmed, a splendid keeper, and a peerless cut-flower. TTie plant is amply 

 furnished with healthy, handsome dark-green foliage, practically immune to disease. Olympiad is equally 

 valuable for planting under glass and as a subject for the rose garden, growing vigorously and blooming 

 freely In either case. 



We offer strong, two-year-old, fleld-grown, dormant, budded plants at $125.00 per 100, or in lots of 

 500 or more at $80.00 per 100. 



New Hybrid-Tea 

 Rose, Olympiad 



Antunm (L. B. Coddington, 1928). We have been 

 pleased with Autumn in our fields during the past 

 two seasons where its medium-sized buds and cupped 

 double flowers, on account of their novel coloring, 

 burnt orange streaked with red, have attracted 

 much attention. The plant is of strong growth 

 with healthy foliage, producing its moderately 

 fragrant flowers freely. $75.0<» per 100. 



Bloomfield Flame (Capt. George C. Thomas, Jr., 1930). 

 An Interesting novelty with vivid and handsome 

 colored long pointed flame red buds, opening to 

 lasting fragrant flowers of 20 to 24 petals which 

 gradually merge from flame red to pink with orange 

 yellow centre. These are borne singly on long 

 stems with abundant, glossy, dark green, bronzy, 

 healthy foliage. $60.00 per 100. 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long / 

 pointed conical buds with the edges of the outer / 

 petals gracefully rolled back; flowers very large 

 and full double, high centre, slightly fragrant and 

 borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 

 first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to 

 a pure white as the flowers develop. Habit very 

 erect, of vigorous constitution, dark green disease- 

 resistant foliage, and a continuous free bloomer; a 

 fine garden Rose. .$60.00 per 100. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons^ 1926). A bril- 

 liant distinct and striking novelty which we know 

 will appeal to and please every Rose lover. The 

 buds are long pointed and perfect shape, opening 

 to high centered, perfectly formed, full double flow- 

 ers of a rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed with 

 orange and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; 

 very free flowering and sweetly tea-scented. $60.00 

 per 100.
