Rose Novelties of 1917 
-EVELYN." An Ophelia sport with the Ophelia 
characteristics of gro'Mth. but zvith better color — a more 
pronounced shade of salmon with soft pink shadings 
toward the center and zi'ith increased petalage, the 
flowers az'craging 50 petals of good substance. In 
grozi'th it is somewhat stronger than Ophelia and carries 
more foliage. It produces better iion'crs at all seasons 
than Ophelia does. 
-MRS. HE.XRY UIXXETT." A seedling from Mrs. 
Geo. .Shawyer and Mrs. Charles Russell. Its color is 
a bright shade of crimson, not so dark as Hadley nor 
so light as Richmond. The habit of the plant is e.rcel- 
lent, not unlike that of Mrs. Shawyer, but harder in 
foliage and not inclined to mildezc or to produce blind 
Hood. It is an easy rose to handle and a fine producer. 
"MRS. BELMONT TIFFANY." Best described as 
a glorified Sunburst with longer and more pointed buds. 
The color is a delicate shade of pink, suffused ztnth deep 
oraniie, a more striking color than Sunburst. 
-OI'lUiLlA SCl'REME." A sport from Ophelia, 
possessing all the fine characteristics of its parent. Its 
petalagc is heavier and its habit of groztih somewhat 
more vigorous. Its color is a beautiful blush pink, con- 
trasting icell with the color of Ophelia, wliicli has never 
appeared to have a settled color, passing us piuk. yellow, 
or zohitc in its different stages.
