MRS. CHARLES E. PEARSON (H. T.) (McGredy. 1913).

Coloring may be said to Iw intermediate between Lyon and Mad. 
Edouard Herriot. Buds are pointed; open flowers reflexed-globular 
to nearly fiat, double and faintly fragrant. Growth moderate or

Blooms freely and has a very high coloring. 
MRS. SAM ROSS (H. T.) (H. Dickson. 1912). Flesh, sufl'used 
salmon and underlaid with bufl". Color hard to describe, but 
delicate, \mique and very pleasing. Flowers cupped, with outer 
petals slightly reflexed. Best in fall. 
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.). Rosy carmine with scarlet 
center. Color brilliant and pleasing. Flowers beautifull 
formed and last splendidly when cut. Stems extremely strong, 
with flowers always borne singly. 
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (H. T.) (McGredy, 
191H). "Deep orange red, shaded bronzeapricotred." (McGredy). 
Here it runs more toward a salmon ground, with carmine, vellow 
and flesh mixed in. Buds are moderately pointed and open flowers 
very double, of medium size and slightly fragrant. Growth 
moderate and spreading. Stems short but strong. 
NERISSA (H.T.) (Paul, 1912). Pink, flushed carmine ; budscream, 
flualied salmon. Coloring resembles .Antoine Rivoire. Buds 
sharply short pointed; ot>en flowers have high center with reflexed 
outer petals. 
OLD GOLD (H. T.) (McGredy, 1913). Coppery orange. The long, 
slender, pointed buds are vi^nd orange red, tinted apricot. ?emi- 
double with about two rows of petals. Ver>- fragrant: free 
bloomer: foliage dark, glossy green. Its wonderful coloring and 
simplicity of form are sure to win a host of admirers. 
OPHELIA (H. T.). Salmon flesh, shaded rose, with chamois 
center- Buds and flowers beautifully formed and color enhanced 
by rich veining on the i)etals. Stems long, carrying flowers erect. 
Could hardly be praised too highly. 
QUEEN MART (H. T.) (A. Dickson, 1913). Creamy ground, 
brilliantly, penciled and flushed cerise, with an underlying shade of 
yellow. Combination of colors is wonderful and almost impossible to 
describe. Buds are long and pointed, with an unusual spiral form 
and recurved tips. ()pen flowers are semi-double, loose 'and 
spreading, medium sized, fragrant and freely borne. 
RAYON D'OR (Pern) (Pernet-Ducher, 1910). Clear, bright, 
intense yellow. Buds are coppery orange, slightly flushed carmine, 
but open flowers have a shade of yellow that is certainly quite dis- 
tinct from anything else. It is shown off to perfection in, contTaat 
with the remarkable foliage, which is a deep, rich bronze green, as 
glossy as if varnished. Flowers are fairly large, very double, 
fragrant and borne almost continuously. 
RED RADIANCE (H. T.). Clear red which does not fade. Makes 
a very large double bloom. Valuable for forcing. 
SEPTEMBER MORN (H. T.). A strikingly distinct and beau- 
tiful rose of the very largest size: flowers borne on long, strong and 
erect stems; growth of the very strongest. The petals are of the 
largest size, of splendid substance, shell shaped, undulated or 
waved on the edges. Color delicate flesh. 
'*'SILVER MOON (Hybrid Wich.). Brilliant silvery white; golden 
yellow stamens: flowers extra large and freely produced. 
TIPPERARY (U. T.) (McGredy). This is an Irish rose, a seeflling 
of Mrs. Aaron Wartl. which it resembles in foliage though not in 
habit, for it makes long, slender, stiff stems in a very_ short time, 
many of them to a plant, and every one tipped with a yellow 
flower. The bud is slender and sharply pointed and opens into 
a full rosette as Ward does. It is an improvement on Ward in its 
steady production of bloom throughout the season, and shows no 
inclination towards resting in mid-winter. The color is clear 
yellow, about the tone of Melody; it will fall into the class of 
corsage roses, and for fancy table decoration; the open flower has 
a distinct satin surface; very free and continuous. 
TIP TOP (Baby Doll) (Poly.). The color is absolutely new and 
quite startling in its brilliancy, golden yellow, tipped with clear 
bright cerise. The little buds and blooms arc very perfect in 
form, elegantly finished, and borne in fine erect panicles. Habit 
of the best, neat and compact. 
WALTER SPEED (H. T.). A vigorous erect grower. Flowers of 
large size, deep lemon color, becoming white as they develop; 
delightfully fragrant. 
♦Varieties starred are climbers. 
Our descriptive catalog contains complete descriptions of 
Mn. David Jardlne 
WILLIAM SHEAN (H. T.). Awarded Gold Modal by the Na- 
tional Rose Society. Its color is pure pink, delicately veined with 
ochcr. The flowers are large, full, and of perfect form The 
bush is strong, vigorous, and free flowering. Highly recommended 
for outdoor planting. 
WILLOWMERK (H. T.) (Pernet-Dueher, 1913). "Rich shrimp 
pink shaded yellow at center, with rosy carmine at edges of petals" 
(Pernet-Ducher). The introducer considers it an improvement 
on Lyon, of similar coloring, but more elegantly and slenderly 
formed. Ourtesthaa been very limited, and while doubtful about 
its excelling Lyon, we certainly consider it a very lovely variety. 
Scarce and Newer Sorts 
so cents each; $4.00 per 10 
CAROLINE OOODRICH (H. P.). Light red; rich in fragrance. 
EARL OF GOSFORD (McGredy, 1912). Dark crimson, heavily 
shaded. CJrowth vigorous. Very fragrant. One of the deepest 
colored in this section. 
ERNA TESCHENDORPF (Dwarf Poly.1. The color ia a briUiant 
carmine red. It is a very free bloomer and has a permanency of 
color which has always been lacking in other roses of this family. 
^EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins) (Wich.). Flowers double, 
bright scarlet, produced in clusters; a fine novelty. 
OEORGE ARENDS (Hinner. 1910). Delicate pink. A large 
handsome rose of solid color and good form. Widely heralded 
as "Pink Frau Karl Druaehki," but does not look like a sport 
from that variety. Growth is so rampant that it could easily be 
trained up as a climber and maybe should Iw classed as such. 
GEO. DICKSON (H. T.). Deep scarlet, shaded velvety crimson. 
Color wonderfully rich, especially in spring. Flowers large and 
very full. Very fragrant. Growth extremely vigorous, almost 
like a climber. Moderate bloomer.
