This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses Continued 



k Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 



Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont (Mallerin, 1929). Medium sized long-pointed 

 bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi-double, medium sized, cupped, 

 very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. The plant is of 

 strong vigorous compact growth with abundant, rich green, disease- 

 resistant foliage. A remarkably profuse and continuous bloomer, 

 rarely being without buds or flowers. $1.50 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 exceptionally free 

 habit and is one of the best all-purpose varieties. $2.00 each. 



Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the Ophelia type that will 

 become a general favorite. Buds long and of perfect shape, the centre 

 golden yellow passing to a tender flushed pink towards the edges; as the 

 large full fine flowers develop the golden base comes well up on the 

 petals, the outer petals pass to a creamy white with just the faintest 

 touch of pink. A strong healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly 

 scented. $1.50 each. 



^ Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are orange- 

 jjjjjpr yellow on the outside, with a rich cerise flush that deepens towards 

 the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet-cerise on an 

 orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm tone to the whole 

 flower, which is of moderate size, good form and thick texture of petal. 

 The flowers are very freely and continuously produced and are fragrant. 

 A Rose that has only to be seen to be admired. $1.50 each. 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Mrs. Sam McGredy. 



May Wettern (Alex. Dickson, 1928). A magnificently formed 

 bud and flower of moderate fullness and artistic coloring. The^ 

 flowers are composed of immense, deep, wide petals of veryW 

 solid texture, their formation making a beautifully built long 

 bud and high pointed flower, in which the inner face of the 

 petals evolves from a bright salmon pink in the bud to deep 

 flesh pink; then to bright pink in the more developed flower. 

 $1.00 each. 



McGredy's Scarlet (McGredy & Son, 1930). A new red Rose of 

 marked superiority on account of its strong vigorous growth free and 

 continuous habit of flowering and its brilliant color. The flowers are of 

 good size, full double of a brilliant scarlet, orangy yellow at base of 

 petals, the upper portions of same being lightly touched with crimson, 

 varying some in color under changing weather conditions but always 

 beautiful. $1.50 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A marvelously 

 beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not found in any other 

 variety, a most striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot on a 

 golden yellow ground with frequently touches of bronze on the reverse 

 of the petals. The sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect forma- 

 tion both in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced freely on vigorous upright growths. $1.50 each. 



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 

 Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery red in the very long, 

 shapely tapering bud that develops into a large full double flower of an 

 exquisite opalescent salmon pink. Growth vij^rous and healthy, free 

 and continuous bloomer. $1.50 each. 



Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed bud developing into 

 large double high centered flowers, very lasting of a rich silvery pink 

 color, borne singly on long stout stems. A strong vigorous grower and 

 an abundant continuous bloomer; very hardy. $1.50 each.
