 apricot on a golden yellow ground with frequently 

 touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The 

 sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect

 developed flower and are produced freely on vigor- 

 ous upright growths. .$40.00 per 100.

 cochineal carmine, with large long pointed shapely 

 buds and very large full double cupped fragrant 

 flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth moder- 

 ate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and 

 a profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to be- 

 come popular and which will displace all others of 

 a similar shade of color. $60.0O per 100. 

 Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the 

 Ophelia type that will become a general favorite. 

 Buds long and of perfect shape, the centre golden

 edges; as the large full flne flowers develop the

 petals pass to a creamy white with just the faintest 

 touch of pink. A strong- healthy grower and free 

 bloomer. Sweetly scented. $7.5.00 per 100. 

 Porta<lown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). 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 moder- 

 ate size, good form and thick texture of petal. 

 The flowers are very freely and continuously pro- 

 duced and are fragrant. A Rose that has only to 

 be seen to be admired. $50.0O per 100.

 esting bedding variety. ,$75.00 per 100.

 formed bud and flower of moderate fullness and

 mense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, their 

 formation making a beautifully built long bud and

 petals evolves from a bright salmon pink in the 

 bud to deep flesh pink; then to bright pink in the 

 more developed flower. $50.00 per 100. 



McGredy's Scarlet. (McGredy & Son, 1930). A new 

 red Rose of marked superiority on account of its 

 strong vigorous growth, free and continuous habit 

 of flowering and its brilliant color. The flowers are 

 of good size, full double of a brilliant scarlet, 

 orangy yellow at base of petals, the upper portions 

 of same being lightly touched with crimson, vary- 

 ing some in color under changing weather condi- 

 tions but always beautiful. A splendid Rose for 

 the garden. $75.00 per 100.
