This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit 



Syracuse (Mallerin, 1930). Large pointed crimson bud, developing 

 into a very large, very full, double, long-lasting, slightly fragrant, 

 scarlet-crimson flower, borne singly on long stem. Growth very 

 vigorous, bushy, upright with large, dark green, disease-resistant 

 foliage. A profuse continuous bloomer. Very hardy. SI. 50 each. 

 Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). The Rose of many Gold 

 Medals. It is the most remarkable piece of coloring that we know 

 in any Rose; a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and 

 deep pink or old rose. The outside of the petals is bright yellow, 

 gold, and pink; as the flower develops and the petals unfold they 

 become bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old-rose. The 

 bud is long, perfectly formed, averaging about 25 to 28 petals, 

 the plant is a strong, vigorous grower with glossy green foliage 

 and free flowering. $1.00 each. 



Vaterland (Plitzer, 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 foliage and free and perpetual 

 flowering; unquestionably the best of this type that has yet 

 come to our notice. $1.50 each. 

 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 lasting 

 moderately sweet scented flower. Color deep crimson, deepen- 

 ing to carmine crimson; does not blue or burn; these are carried 

 on long strong stems, a very free continuous bloomer. $2.00 each. 

 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, moderate- 

 ly 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. $1.50 each. 



New Hyhrid-Tea Rose, Portadown Fragrance 



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 distinct 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. 

 SI. 50 each. 



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 colors gives the most dazzling color 

 effect imaginable. The buds are beautifully pointed, the 

 flowers large, composed of broad thick heavy petals, 

 with moderate fragrance. $1.50 each. 



Rosella 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 vigorous upright habit with healthy dark green 

 glossy foliage. $1.50 each. 



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 peculiar 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. $1.50 each. 



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

 large cupped flower, 4J 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 

 becomes suffused with vermilion carmine at the edge of the 

 petals. A moderately vigorous grower and a continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each.
