This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses— Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Recent Introduction 



The New Hybrid 

 Tea Rose 

 Olympiad 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1931). A Rose that pleases not 

 only on account of its beautiful formation and color but also for its 

 remarkable sweet fragrance, described by its introducer as surpass- 

 ing any other variety. The bud is long-pointed; tne flower very 

 large, double, high-centered and unusually long lasting. Color 

 brilliant orange-scarlet passing to bright rose towards the edge of 

 the petals; of vigorous habit and free flowering, 

 v $1.50 each. 



President Hoover (Coddington, 1930). A glorious 

 Rose, wonderfully free in the easy manner in which it 

 grows and charming in its color arrangement which 

 is a splendid combination of cerise-pink, flame, 

 scarlet and yellow; this combination of colors gives 

 ■ the most dazzling color effect imaginable. The buds 

 f are beautifully pointed, the flowers large, composed of 

 broad thick heavy petals, with moderate fragrance. 

 $1.00 each. 



Schwabenland (Pfitzcr, 1928). There are many pink 

 Roses but none just like tois 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, hardy, vigor- 

 ous grower and free flowering. $1.00 each. 

 Vaterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark colored variety yet intro- 

 duced, deeper and richer in effect 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 foliage and free and perpetual flowering; un- 

 questionably the best of this type that has yet come to our notice. $1.00 each. 



Olympiad (Mme. Raymond Gaujard) (Pernet-Ducher, 1932). 

 Tnis brilliant new red Rose first sent out the past spring is now 

 available in strong plants at popular prices. The color of Olym- 

 piad is unique, a lustrous, dark Oriental scarlet, its depth of 

 color accentuated by the golden base and intensified by a rich 

 velvety sheen. The bud is long and pointed and the flower 

 magnificent in every stage of development. Awarded Gold 

 Medals during the past season at the Atlantic City, Philadelphia 

 and New York Flower Shows. Strong two-year-old plants 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Mme. 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 outstanding introduction of the late jStm 

 Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery-red *'tch£ 

 in the very long, shapely, tapering bud that develops 

 into a large, full double flower of an exquisite opales- 

 cent salmon-pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, 

 free and continuous bloomer. $1.00 each. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy (McGredy, 1929). The color of 

 this beautiful variety is quite distinct 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 together give a rich and 

 almost dazzling effect. The flowers are of large size 

 and beautiful form, and they possess the proper fullness to make 

 them useful for all purposes. They are very freely produced and 

 delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous and exception- 

 ally free habit and is one of the best all-purpose varieties. 

 $1.00 each.
