that has yet come to our notice. The very shapely buds of medium 



length develop into full double, well-formed flowers of medium size; in

foliage. $1.50 each. 

 Gaiety (E. G. Hill Co., 1926). Buds long and pointed, developing to a 



large shapely semi-double, cupped, very lasting flower composed of

Indian red, yellow, and pink or fawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous 



branching habit, with good healthy foliage and very free flowering. 



$1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent Rose of Australian origin 

 in which we have an ideal garden Rose of great merit of an exquisite 

 light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an ovoid form, heavily 

 splashed with crimson before opening and develop into splendidly 

 shaped full double moderately fragrant flowers which are of a uniform 

 color, reminding one of the old favorite Marechal Niel and which was 

 suggestive of the name Golden Dawn. The plant is of strong, vigorous 

 upright branching habit, with large glossy healthy green foliage, very 

 free flowering with usually three or more flowers on each branch. 

 $1.50 each.
