HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
M iss Lolita Armour. A brilliant combination of deep 
coral-red and copper-red, suffused with tints varying 
from yellow to reddish orange. Growth is vigorous, 
and its freedom in flowering can hardly be excelled 
where the conditions suit it. 
M iss Rowena Thom. Long, shapely buds, opening to 
perfectly formed, double flowers of a nice rose-pink 
shade, illumined with a golden suffusion at the petal- 
base. The flowers are quite fragrant and are produced 
freely on vigorous-growing plants. It compares 
favorably with the Radiance Roses as to growing 
habit, and for that reason we have no hesitation in 
recommending it freely for all garden purposes. 
*Mme. Butterfly. A sport from the favorite Ophelia, 
but in many respects an improvement. It has a more 
vigorous growth and better color—light, soft pink, 
tinted with gold near the base of petals; highly 
perfumed and perfect in shape. Free flowering, and 
a very easily grown Rose. 
Mme. Caroline Testout. A thoroughly reliable variety, 
and although one of the oldest of the type, still one 
of the best. Bright, satiny pink flowers, large, full, 
and globular in form. Strong growing, and one of the 
most persistent in flowering. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). Spark¬ 
ling coral-red and orange, at times shaded with 
yellow and reddish scarlet. Perhaps the most bril¬ 
liant colored of all the everblooming Roses. Free 
in flowering and medium-strong in growth. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. Favorite among yellow Roses. The 
color is a distinct Indian yellow, shading lighter 
toward the edges. During hot weather, flowers fade 
to a light pink, but it is always attractive. The flower 
is of medium size, sweetly fragrant, and, although 
short-stemmed, is very desirable for cutting. 
Growth compact and habit very free. An easily 
grown Rose. 
*Mrs. Charles Bell. A Radiance variety with all of the 
splendid growing features of the parent plant, but a 
lovely shell-pink in color, shaded with salmon. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. Considered by experts 
to be the best yellow garden Rose so far introduced, 
possessing everything required for successful garden 
culture. It is remarkably free throughout the season, 
and the growth is strong and healthy. Bronzy, 
disease-resisting foliage and beautifully formed 
flowers of a fine rich lemon-yellow color which are 
exceedingly attractive in all stages. 
*Ophelia. So thoroughly established as one of the good 
garden Roses that a description is hardly necessary. 
It is about the healthiest and easiest grown Rose in 
existence. Color is a delicate salmon-flesh, shaded 
with rose. Very free and altogether desirable. 
Padre. A remarkably beautiful and free-flowering 
bedding Rose of an unusual and distinct combination 
—yellow and coppery scarlet, vividly intermingling. 
A splendid strong-growing Rose in the garden and 
one that will prove entirely distinct from other sorts. 
President Herbert Hoover. A striking combination of 
cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow; large, fragrant, 
well-formed flowers. A most variable Rose, almost 
every flower being different from every other. The 
plant is notably strong and floriferous. 
^Radiance. An exceptional all-round bedding Rose and 
undoubtedly the most free flowering and easiest to 
grow under average garden conditions. Always in 
flower, regardless of weather. Color, brilliant car¬ 
mine-pink, with salmon-pink and yellow shadings 
at the base. For cutting purposes or garden display, 
it can always be depended on. 
*Red Radiance. In some respects a better Rose than 
its parent; perhaps more compact in habit of growth, 
but equally strong in other respects. Color, a bright 
cerise-red. The flowers, particularly during the fall 
months, are really outstanding. Stems are long and 
the color almost approaches that of American Beauty. 
*Rev. F. Page-Roberts. A gorgeous Rose that may be 
briefly described as a glorified Duchess of Wellington. 
Remarkably beautiful in form and color. The long, 
pointed buds are coppery red and open golden yellow, 
with red markings on the outside. It is remarkable 
for its superb, full flowers and freedom in flowering. 
Shot Silk. Very fragrant, cherry-cerise flowers shot 
with golden yellow, borne singly on medium-length, 
wiry stems. Glossy, disease-resistant foliage. Vigor¬ 
ous, bushy growth; profuse bloomer. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. Sunflower-yellow, deeper 
in the center but without any tendency to fade. The 
early flowers are apt to be malformed, but the hot- 
weather conditions of late summer find this variety 
at its best. Flowers produced from late summer on 
are as near perfection as is found in any yellow Rose. 
Souvenir de Georges Pernet. (Pernet.) Long-pointed 
buds of rich Oriental red, tipped with deep carmine. 
Flowers when open are a shimmering cochineal- 
old-rose, very large and perfectly formed. Excellent 
for cutting. 
Talisman. Yellow, gold, burnt-orange, and apricot, 
rose, pink, scarlet, and crimson are the colors 
which Talisman assumes when it is grown under 
favorable conditions. Our experience with it would 
indicate that it is a Rose that requires and is worthy 
of special conditions. It appears to grow to best 
advantage in a heavy, rich clay soil, and requires 
either the protection of close planting or a heavy 
mulch of peat or humus throughout the summer. 
Under these conditions, we have cut handsome 
flowers on stems almost 3 feet in length. 
Ville de Paris. Winner of the Gold Medal at the Inter¬ 
national Trials in Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, in 1926. 
A gorgeous yellow Rose with splendid, long, well- 
formed buds and large flowers of the purest yellow, 
without marking or shading of any kind. A vigorous- 
growing plant, somewhat on the style of Julien Potin. 
William F. Dreer. A most unusual and attractive 
blending of rich shrimp-pink and golden salmon. 
It is a good garden Rose under happy conditions and, 
like most varieties of blended colorings, attains 
perfection when grown in partial shade.
