E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many- 

 Roses raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red 

 variety one of the most valuable. While it has 

 gained great popularity as a winter cut flower, it 

 is equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered 

 , full double flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shad- 

 ing to a deeper pure red as they deveIop",-of strong 

 vigorous and free flowering habit. $«0.00 per 100. 



Elizabeth of York (Dobbie & Co., 1927). Beautifully 

 formed long pointed buds of a glowing cerise-red 

 with yellow sulfusion at the base; the petals as they 

 unfold spread widely with a splendid reflex ulti- 

 mately showing the stamens. An artistic, dainty, 

 delicately colored flower. $40.00 per 100. 



Evert Van Dyk (G. A. Van Rossem, 1931). With the 

 many good pink Roses now in cultivation the stand- 

 ard to induce us to offer a new variety is naturally 

 placed high, and we are convinced that in this new 

 Dutch variety, which has been named by the intro- 

 ducer in honor of one of the sponsors of the trans- 

 oceanic flight of the "Southern Cross," that we have 

 a variety, which in its color, a bright rose-pink with 

 salmon suffusion, and superior habits, we can rec- 

 ommend with full confidence. $6O.00 per 100. 



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

 very large extremely double, very lasting, slightly 

 fragrant flowers of a bright carmine, the inner 

 petals shading to light pink, usually borne several 

 together oh long stems. Growth very vigorous, a 

 splendid continuous, profuse bloomer. §00.00 per 

 100. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Caledonia 



Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925). An appropriate name for 

 a dainty colored and well formed single flower, 

 3% inches in diameter composed of delicately crin- 

 kled and wavy petals of a pleasing shade of shell 

 pink with a conspicuous bunch of crimson stamens. 

 The flowers last well when cut and are charming 

 when displayed In individual vases. A strong, vigor- 

 ous grower and profuse flowering', the flowers being- 

 produced on strong stems. $40.00 per 100. 



Dr. Ed-ivard Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). Fascinat- 

 ing in color, the margin of the petals being a deli- 

 cate lint of coral pink gradually merging to a deep 

 salmon-orange toward the base of the artistically 

 reflexed petals, forming a fine, very full flower, 

 that has good lasting qualities. The habit of the 

 plant is ideal, upright, strong and free flowering, 

 with very healthy foliage. $60.00 per 100. 



Dttehess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring 

 of this new variety is uncommon and delightful, an

 larly attractive in the bud and open state, growth 

 vigorous, a free a,nd continuous profuse bloomer.

 rose suffusion, passing to golden rose-pink as the 

 flowers develop. A good free-flowering garden 

 variety. $40.00 per 100. 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). 

 Entirely distinct in coloring and of such strong 

 robust growth that it should succeed anywhere and 

 produce an abundance of its pretty colored flowers.

 petals are of cream and blush shaded with orange
