Hybrid Teas of Recent Introduction 



British Queen. This variety was awarded a Gold Medal 

 by the National Rose Society of Elngland, and is sent out 

 as one of the finest white Roses yet introduced. In the bud 

 form it is slightly tinged with pink. Very free and fragrant. 

 We have not tested this Rose thoroughly and, therefore, 

 can not recommend it, but offer it to meet a rather wide- 

 spread demand. 



75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Colleen. Another European introduction, described as an 

 improved Killarney. Color rose pink, heavily shaderl 

 rosy crimson. Large, full, well-formed flowers. We have 

 not as yet tested this variety and cannot fully recommend 

 it, but believe it is a promising garden addition. 

 $2.00 each. 



Edgar M. Burnett. Light flesh pink on the inside petals; 

 reverse deep, rosy pink. Not yet tested, but recommende<l 

 to us as an improved flower of the Lady Alice Stanley tyix'. 

 $2.00 each. 



Hadley. This magnificent Rose, introduced by us in 1014. 

 has proved, after another season's trial, to be one of tlir 

 best garden varieties of its color, a rich crimson, varying to 

 deep, velvety crimson. Descending directly from such 

 famous parents as Liberty, Richmond and Cleneral Mar- 

 Arthur, it inherits many excellent qualities, free, vigorous, 

 branching growth, terminating in well-formed, intensely 

 fragrant flowers, produced continuously during the season. 

 Strong, 2-year-old plants: $L00 each, $10.00 per doz. 



Irish Fire Flame. A new, remarkably free-flowering and 

 showy variety when used for massing in the garden. We 

 believe it to be the best of the single-flowering type. The 

 bud is an intense, fiery crimson, shading at the base of the 

 petals to a rich orange salmon. The open flower is bright 

 salmon. It is of strong, vigorous growth, with dark green 

 foliage, reverse of leaf deep bronze. 

 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



lona Herdman. An entirely new " Gold Medal " Rose of 

 promise. We must quote the raisers' (S. McGredy & Sons) 

 description: " A pure, clear, orange flame, the greatest 

 lift in color yet attained in Roses, surpassing Rayon d'Or 

 in clearness and brightness, with the true Hybrid Tea growth 

 and character. Without question, the most beautiful 

 yellow, decorative Rose in existence, and a Rose that must 

 be seen in order to grasp its wonderful coloring. Sweetly 

 scented, very free flowering, and of beautiful shape and 

 form." 



$2.00 each. 



Lady Crcmwell. A fine, cream-colored sport of My Mary- 

 land, originating with us, and which, after testing thorough- 

 ly, proves a bedding Rose of many excellent qualities. The 

 flower is large and full, of My Maryland form, but distinct 

 in color, and more proliflc; growth vigorous, branching 

 erectly, every growth producing a flower. A grand garden 

 Rose. 



Strong plants, 5-inch pots: 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Lady Mary Ward. Rich orange, shaded deep apricot 

 orange, with a pronounced metallic veneering. A very bril- 

 liant and attractive coloring. This is a distinct^ free-flower- 

 ing, sweetly-scented Rose that promises to become immensely 

 popular. 



Strong, 2-year-old plants: $1.50 each. 



Madame Chas. Lutaud 



Madame Chas. Lutaud. Chrome-yellow center, slightly 

 tinted rosy scarlet on the outer petals. Long, pointed 

 flowers, carried on stiff, erect stems; very large, full and 

 globular. An improved Marquise de Sinetv, from which 

 it is easily distinguished by its deeper coloring and more 

 vigorous growth. A fine exliibition Rose. 



Strong, 2-year-old plants: 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Madame Edmond Rostand. A free-growing Rose that 

 has given exceUent results during an exten.sive trial and 

 promises to be a valuable bedding Rose. Color pale flesh, 

 shaded with salmon and reddish yellow in the center. 

 Large, very full, globular flowers; an improvement on 

 Prince de Bulgarie. 



Strong, 2-year-old plants: $1.00 each. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot. The Daily Mail Rose. A free- 

 branching, new variety, producing its flowers in great 

 profusion. In the bud form the color is a beautiful coral 

 red, shaded with yellow, opening to a deep, terra cotta or 

 reddish copper. A very beautiful and unique flower. 

 We will be pleased to quote special prices in quantity. 

 Strong, 2-year-old plants: $1.00 each.
