LADY PIRRIE. Outside of petals coppery, reddish 

 salmon; apricot-yellow, flushed fawn and copper on the 

 inside. Not a very double flower but an excellent bed- 

 ding Rose. Awarded the Silver Medal of the American 

 Rose Society at the Hartford Test-Garden, June, 

 1915, where it was considered by the examining *^ 

 committee one of the best garden Roses on trial. 



MOLLY SHARMAN-CRAWFORD. Delicate y 

 eau-de-nil w hite, opening to dazzling white; large, ^ ^ 

 full perfectly formed fragrant flowers of excellent 

 keeping quality. Its greatest merit is in its blooming 

 habit. It is exceptionally free. 



MRS. AARON WARD. Deep Indian-yellow at the 

 center of the flower, shading to primrose-yellow toward 

 the edges of the petals, the whole occasionally washed 

 soft salmon-pink as the flower expands. The color is 

 somewhat variable with changing weather conditions 

 but always beautiful. Hardy and floriferous. This is 

 one of the best Roses in this color. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. A sport from the 

 original Killarney Rose but much more intense and 

 rich in color, varying from bright pink to deep rosy 

 carmine. The flowers are of greater substance and are 

 very fragrant. Very free blooming and excellent for 

 cutting. 



HADLEY. Rich crimson, varying to deep velvety 

 crimson; vigorous, branching growths, each terminating 

 in well-formed, intensely fragrant flowers which are 

 produced continuously. 



RA YMOND. A splendid garden Rose of the ;'DaiIy 

 Mail" type but more vigorous and of better habit than 

 that popular variety. Color, peach-pink in the outer 

 petals, shaded with salmon or orange-carmine at the 

 center, intensifying toward the petal base. The long 

 pointed bud opens into a large, full flower of perfect 

 form. Foliage attractive, glossy green. $1.25 each, 

 $12 per doz. 



MABEL DREW. Deep cream in the bud stage, pass- 

 ing to intense canary-yellow toward the center as the 

 flower opens; large, full, deliciously scented flowers 

 carried on vigorous stems. 



MISS CYNTHIA FORDE. Deep, brilliant rose- 

 pink, shading to an attractive light rosy pink. An un- 

 usually well-built, large Rose of good habit, flowering 

 profusely at all times. Delightfully fragrant. 



Evelyn Roses 



SUNBURST. Superb cadmium-yellow, sulfused with 

 orange-copper and deeper yellow. Large, full llowers of 

 elongated cup-form; vigorous; a fine exhibition Rose. 



LADY ALICE STANLEY. Deep coral-rose on the 

 outside of the petals, inside pale flesh, slightly flushed 

 deeper flesh. Beautiful, healthy foliage. One of the 

 finest garden Roses ever sent out. 



DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY. A pure white 

 sport of Killarney, showing a slight trace of pink during 

 the hot midsummer days. Strong in growth; free- 

 flowering and very fragrant. This Rose has better foli- 

 age, larger and more double flowers than the older 

 "White Killarney." 



Price, any of the preceding varieties, except Raymond 

 and Evelyn, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100. One 

 each of the 12 varieties $10.

 shading to creamy yellow. Very double and sweetly 

 fragrant. The formation of the flower is exquisite; 

 growth erect and strong. A distinct and beautiful Rose, 

 possessing many sterling qualities. 



Mrs. John Cook. Ivory white, occasionally suffused 

 with light pink during cool weather. See page 58 for 

 full description. 



Panama. This splendid new Rose is a seedling from 

 the popular Frau Karl Druschki. It is an unusually 

 vigorous and free-flowering Rose, even more so than 

 its parent, in itself an unusually good variety. Very 

 delicate flesh shading lighter toward the petal margins. 

 Awarded the American Rose Society's Silver Medal at 

 the Hartford Test-Garden.
