This Year's New Hybrid -Tea Roses — Continued 



Novelties and Varieties of Recent Introduction 



Schwabenland (Pfitzer, 1928). There are many pink Roses but 

 none just like this variety either in color or in the splendid forma- 

 tion of its blooms. The moderately fragrant 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. $1.00 each. 



Sir Henry Seagrave (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1932). Large, long, 

 well shaped bud and very large, full, beautiful, high-centred, 

 double flower of a deep lemon yellow shading deeper at 

 base; a free perpetual bloomer and sweet scented. $1.50 

 each. 



Swansdown (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal white 

 which in the autumn has just a tint of cream at the base of 

 the petals. The bud is large, very long pointed of perfect shape, 

 composed of large heavy petals and develop into splendid full very 

 sweetly-scented flower of spiral formation. $1.00 each. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lady Forteviot. See page 123 



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 bloom is 

 large; every bud develops to a perfect, full, high-centered, 

 very lasting moderately sweet scented flower. Color deep 

 crimson, deepening to carmine crimson; does not blue or 

 burn; these are carried on long strong stems, a very free 

 continuous bloomer. $1.0Qj:ach.^ 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Vaterland 



Vaterland (Plitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark colored variety yet intro- 

 duced, deeper and richer in effect than the Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince 

 Camille de Rohan, a rich deep velvety scarlet maroon and a splendidly form- 

 ed 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. $1.00 each. 



Victoria Adelheid (Kordes, 1932). Exceptionally large, well-formed, 

 double flow-ers of a rich golden yellow suffused with vermilion red shading 

 deeper to the edges of the petals. An effective free flowering variety. 

 $2.00 each. 



William Orr (McGredy & Son, 1930). Brilliant, deep, velvety crimson 

 with a delightful glow and sheen which is retained even under unfavorable 

 weather conditions. Flower well formed, of good size, petals reflexed and 

 sweetly scented. $1.50 each.
