This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 



Edith Nellie Perkins (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). A Rose 

 of outstanding merit that is giving universal satisfaction. The 

 buds are long and pointed, the outside of the petals are of cream 

 and blush shaded with orange at the base, the inner face is 

 salmon-pink with golden-orange base; the flowers are moderately 

 double, produced freely and continuously on long stems and are 

 sweetly scented. $1.50 each. 



Editor McFarland (Mallerin, 1931). Named in honor of Dr 

 J. H. McFarland, President of the American Rose Society and 

 editor of the American Rose Annual. Type of Radiance in 

 habit of plant, ruggedness and persistency as well as in freedom 

 of bloom. Bud long pointed; flower semi-double, slightly 

 fragrant, of a solid glowing pink with a slight suffusion of yellow, 

 generally borne singly on long strong stem. The large, pointed, 

 arch shaped petals are edged lighter, the contrast accentuating 

 as the flower ages. $2.50 each. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Ko.es 

 raised by Mr. Hill, we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. The long buds of perfect form, as well as the 

 high centered full double flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shad- 

 ing to a deeper pure red as they develop; of strong vigorous and 

 free flowering habit. $1.50 each. 



Everest (Easlea & Sons, 1927). One of the largest Roses yet 

 raised, buds large, perfectly shaped, flowers of immense size with 

 long broad petals of firm texture, fragrant, ivory-white with 

 creamy suffusion and when fully developed resembles a large 

 Peony borne on long stems. While a Hybrid-Tea, it has the 

 characteristics of a vigorous growing Hybrid-Perpetual. 81.00 

 each. 



Evert van Dyk (G. A. Van Rossem, 1931). With the many good 

 pink Roses now in cultivation the standard to induce us to offer 

 a new variety is naturally placed high, and we are convinced that 

 in this new Dutch variety, which has been named by the intro- 

 ducer in honor of one of the sponsors of the transoceanic flight of 

 the "Southern Cross," we have a variety, which in its color, a 

 bright rose-pink with salmon suffusion, and superior habits, 

 New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Caledonia. See page 121. will make it a desirable addition to any garden. $1.50 each. 



Dainty Bess (Archer, 1925). An appropriate name for a 

 daintily colored and well formed single flower, 3J inches in 

 diameter, composed of delicately crinkled substantial wavy 

 petals of a pleasing shade of shell pink with a conspicuous 

 bunch of crimson stamens. The flowers last well when cut 

 and are charming when displayed in individual vases. A 

 strong, vigorous grower and profuse flowering, the flowers 

 being produced on strong branching stems. $1.00 each. 



Director Rubio (Dot, 1928). Large long pointed bud, open- 

 ing to a very large fairly double sweet-scented bloom of a solid 

 cochineal pink, retaining its color long in rain or shine. An 

 ideal bedding Rose of medium height and compact for 

 $1.25 each. 



Dr. Edward Deacon (Morse & Son, 1926). Fascinating 

 in color, the margin of the petals being a delicate tint of 

 coral pink gradually merging to a deep salmon-orange 

 towards the base of the artistically reflexed petals, 

 forming a fine, very full flower, that has good lasting 

 qualities. The habit of the plant is ideal, upright, 

 strong and free flowering, with very healthy foliage. 

 $1.50 each. 



Duchess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring is 

 uncommon and delightful; bud large, globular, deep bronzy 

 orange; flower large, double, cupped-form, very lasting, 

 intensely fragrant, of a golden orange color flushed old 

 rose and borne singly on long stems; growth vigorous; a 

 free continuous bloomer. $1.50 each.
