NEW ROSES. 



New Irish Hybrid Tea Rose BETTY. 



{See illustration on plate opposite. ) 



We first offered Betty in 1907, an introduction of Messrs. Dickson, classing it with their Killarney, the now so popular bedding 

 and forcing Rose. Betty, early in the season when newly planted, is a disappointment in the first flowers which it opens, but after 

 it becomes established it produces blooms of marvellous beauty. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with clean, healthy 

 foliage, producing in great profusion its large, deliciously scented flowers, which are of a glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with 

 a golden sheen. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cents each; §5.00 per dozen. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose LADY FAIRE. 



( c <?<? illustration on plate opposite. ) 



Although we have not tested this beautiful Rose in our own grounds, we believe from what we have seen of it at nearly every 

 English Rose-growing establishment which we visited during the past summer that Lady Faire will prove a most valuable addi- 

 tion to the varieties suited to the American garden. It is a sport from Belle Siebrecht, but of stronger and more vigorous growth 

 and remarkably free-flowering. The flowers are of large size, very double and of perfect form, of a light carmine-rose color shaded 

 •with salmon, a combination giving at once brilliancy as well as softness. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



The New French Rose THE LYON. 



{See illustration on plate opposite.) 



This new Rose, an introduction of Pernet-Ducher, one of the most successful and noted growers of new Roses in France, is 

 undoubtedly his greatest achievement, and has created a sensation among all lovers of Roses who have had the good fortune to see 

 it, and all unite in praising its merits. 



The introducer describes it as a cross between Mme. Melanie Soupert, a Hybrid-Tea, and an unnamed seedling of Soleil d'Or, 

 and though thus related to the class of Roses known as Pernetiana, it displays only the valuable qualities of the Hybrid Teas, not 

 the least of which is its remarkable free-flowering habit. 



It is of very vigorous, somewhat spreading habit, with prominent thorns, excellent foliage of a rich reddish-green. The flowers 

 are generally borne singly, though occasionally two or three appear on the same shoot. The buds are long, tipped coral-red, and 

 chrome-yellow at the base. The flowers when expanded are large and full, with broad petals of a superb color, being a coral-red or 

 salmon-pink shaded with chrome-yellow in the centre, toning to a shrimp-pink at the tips, a most happy and charming contrast of 

 colors. Very fragrant and hardy. 



Awarded first prize at Paris, and a Gold Medal at Lyons in 1907. 



We offer strong two-year-old plants, stock which we have received direct from the introducer, §1.25 each. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose MRS. JARDINE. 



{See illustration on plate opposite.) 



A variety which promises to become popular as a winter forcing Rose, producing flowers of good size, on long stems, that are 

 useful both in bud form and when fully expanded. Color a bright rosy-pink, shading in the outer petals to salmon-pink. 

 Good four-inch pot plants, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose WHITE KILLARNEY. 



{See illustration on plate opposite. ) 



This new variety originated as a sport from Killarney at Scott's Penrose Nurseries, near Philadelphia, and possesses all the good 

 points of and is identical in every way with its parent, except in color, which is of a clear white. 



Its parent, "Killarney," though only introduced ten years ago, has for several years been not only one of the most popular 

 garden Roses, but also the favorite pink winter cut-flower sort; this new variety possessing the many good qualities of its parent, 

 freedom of bloom, beautiful form, and perfect hardiness, together with its purity of color, assures for it the same popularity. 



We offer strong plants grown in four-inch pots which will produce a wealth of bloom this season, 50 cents each; $5.00 per 

 dozen. 



New Hardy Rose SOLEIL D'OR (Golden Sun). 



An entirely distinct type of Rose— a c ss between Persian- Yellow and Antoine Ducher. It is perfectly hardy, with large, full, 

 globular flowers, varying in color from gold and orange to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium-red. ' Strong two-year-old plants, 



60 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
