 blooms that last in perfection a long time;

 nous golden sheen; the bud is large, of 

 ovoid form, cardinal-red, shaded orange; 

 growth strong; a free and continuous 

 bloomer. $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, of- 

 angy yellow at base of petals, the upper 

 portions of same being lightly touched 

 with crimson, varying some in color under 

 changing weather conditions but always 

 beautiful. $40.00 per 100. 



.Mine. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). 

 In a French contest, Sept. 15th, 1931, was 

 voted an award of a Gold Medal as The 

 Most Beautiful Rose in France. An out- 

 standing introduction of the late Mr. Per- 

 net-Ducher. In color a bright coppery-red 

 in the very long, shapely, tapering bud 

 that develops into a large, full double 

 flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon- 

 pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, free 

 and continuous bloomer. $40.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929.) The 

 color of this beautiful variety is quite dis- 

 tinct from anything yet seen in Roses, a 

 wonderful dual combination of vivid 

 shades. A beautiful scarlet coppery-orange 

 is heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the 

 outside of the petals, and these colors to- 

 gether give a rich and almost dazzling ef- 

 fect. The flowers are of large size and 

 beautiful form, and they possess the proper 

 fullness to make them useful for all pur- 

 poses. They are very freely produced and 

 delicately perfumed. The plant has a vig- 

 orous and exceptionally free habit and is 

 one of the best all-purpose varieties. 

 $50.00 per 100. 



Portadown Fragrance. A Rose that pleases 

 not only on account of its beautiful forma- 

 tion and color but also for its remarkable 

 sweet fragrance, described by its intro- 

 ducer as surpassing any other variety. The 

 bud is long-pointed; the flower very large, 

 double, high-centered and unusually long 

 lasting. Color brilliant orange-scarlet pass- 

 ing to bright rose towards the edge of the 

 petals: of vigorous habit and free flower- 

 ing. $50.00 per 100. 



Awarded The Gold Medal at the Greai 

 Atlantic City Flower and Garden Pageant, 

 September, 1031, also a Gold Medal at the 

 International Flower Show in IVew York 

 City, March, 1932, as well as The Gold 

 Medal, the Sweepstakes Prize, for our dis- 

 play of a Garden of Roses, which con- 

 sisted of 1800 plants of the variety Olym- 

 piad, at the Philadelphia Flower Show, 

 March, 1932. 



Olympiad is one of the late Mr. Pernet- 

 Ducher's seedlings which did not develop 

 its bloom until after this great rosarian 

 i passed away in 1929. It was shown in 

 I France under the name Mme. Raymond 

 Guajard but is now known as Olympiad 

 which name was adopted in connection 

 with the International Olympic games be- 

 ing held in California this year. 



The color of Olympiad is unique, a lus- 

 trous, dark oriental-scarlet, its depth and 

 warmth accentuated by a bright golden 

 base and is intensified by a marvelous 

 velvety sheen that makes its rich coloring 

 particularly effective, especially under ar- 

 tificial light. 



The bud is long and pointed, the petals 

 are very broad and the blossom is mag- 

 nificent in every stage of development. 



We are now booking orders for fall and 

 winter delivery at $50.00 per 100; $400.00 

 per 1000; 500 or more supplied at 1000 

 rates. 



Schwabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). There are many pink 

 Roses but none just like this new variety either 

 in color or in the splendid formation of its blooms. 

 The flowers are large, over five inches in diameter, 

 with high spiral centre, the petals having a peculiar 

 twist or curl. In color it is a luminous rich rose- 

 pink, retaining its brightness until the petals drop, 

 the flowers are carried singly on long stiff stems. 

 A strong, healthy, hardv, vigorous grower and free 

 flowering. $40.00 per 100. 



Vaterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark col- 

 ored variety yet introduced, deeper and richer in ef- 

 fect than the Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince 

 Camille de Rohan, a rich deep velvety scarlet 

 maroon and a splendidly formed high centered 

 flower of remarkable keeping qualities. The plant 

 is of vigorous strong erect habit with healthy foli- 

 age and free and perpetual flowering; unquestion- 

 ably the best of this type that has yet come to our 

 notice. $40.00 per 100.
