New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Schwabenland 



Portadown Fragrance (McGredy, 1931). A Rose that 

 pleases us not only on account of its large double 

 flowers but also for its remarkable fragrance of 

 which the introducer, says, "No Rose has ever been 

 raised to compare with this variety for fragrance 

 which is most penetrating and of an entirely dis- 

 tinct sweet odor." The plant is a strong vigorous 

 grower and free bloomer; in color a bright orange- 

 scarlet, passing to bright rose towards the edge 

 of the petals. $100.00 per 100. 



President Hoover (L. B. 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 col- 

 ors gives the most dazzling color effect imaginable. 

 The buds are beautifully pointed, the flowers large, 

 composed of broad thick heavy petals, with mod- 

 erate fragrance. $G0.0O per 100. 



President Jac Smits (Verschuren, 1928). For brilliancy 

 in color, a rich velvety crimson-scarlet, exception- 

 ally long pointed buds of ideal shape, produced 

 most generously, we know of no other variety that 

 is its equal. $50.00 per 100. 



Renate (Berger, 1925). Large, very double globular, 

 creamy white flowers of strong fragrance and very 

 good lasting quality usually produced several on 

 a stem. Growth vigorous and bushy; blooms con- 

 tinuously. $G0.00 per 100. 



Rose! la Sweet (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid 

 bud developing to a splendid large, well-formed, 

 attractive flower of a luminous capucine yellow, 

 with delicate salmon pink suffusion and of strong 

 delicious fragrance. The fine flowers are borne 

 singly on strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigor- 

 ous upright habit with healthy dark green glossy 

 foliage. $GO.0O per 100. 



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 pecu- 

 liar 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, vigorous grower 

 and free flowering. $75.00 per 100. 



Souvenir d'Alexandre Bernaix (Bernaix, 1926). A 

 beautiful large cupped flower, iy 2 inches or more in 

 diameter. In the half expanded bud the petals are 

 incurved, of an intense deep velvety crimson-red 

 on a maroon ground with touches of scarlet on the 

 outer petals. As the flower fully develops it be- 

 comes suffused with vermilion carmine at the edge 

 of the petals. A moderately vigorous grower and 

 a continuous bloomer. $60.00 per 100. 



Stuttgart (Berger, 1928). On the type of Ville de 

 Paris with medium sized, long pointed,' shapely bud 

 and double, very lasting, moderately fragrant, pure 

 yellow flowers borne singly or several together on 

 long stems. Growth moderate, bushy; foliage rich 

 green disease resistant; a free bloomer throughout 

 the season. $60.00 per 100. 



Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). A combination of 

 shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or 

 old-rose. The outside of the petals is bright yel- 

 low, gold, and pink; as the flower develops and 

 the petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, 

 deep rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most Roses 

 the color becomes brighter as the flowers develop. 

 The bud is long, perfectly formed, averaging about 

 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong grower and 

 free flowering. $60.0© per 100. 



Vaterland (Berger, 1928). The most distinct dark 

 colored variety yet introduced, 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 fo- 

 liage and remarkably free and perpetual flowering; 

 unquestionably the best of this type that has yet 

 come to our notice. $75.00 per 100. 



W. E. Chaplin (Chaplin, 1929). A most meritorious 

 red Rose of the Lord Charlemont type but better, 

 being a free vigorous grower with healthy disease- 

 resisting foliage. The flowers are large; every bud 

 develops to a perfect full, high-centered, very last- 

 ing moderately sweet-scented flower. Color deep 

 crimson, deepening to carmine crimson; does not 

 blue or burn; these are carried on long strong 

 stems, a very free continuous bloomer. $125.00 per 

 100. 



William E. Nickerson (Easlea, 1928). Very attractive 

 and distinct, a glowing orange cerise, large, ovoid 

 buds, developing into full double high-centered 

 flowers of perfect form; very lasting, moderately 

 fragrant, borne singly on long strong stems. A 

 hardy vigorous grower with light green healthy 

 foliage. A free and continuous bloomer. A gem 

 in every way. $75.00 per 100.
