The Three Editors 
Dr. J. Horace McFarland, editor of American Rose Society 
publications; Leonard Barron, editor of Tbe American Home; 
Richardson Wright, editor of House & Garden, are three great 
apostles of the Rose in America. It is but natural that their 
names should be remembered with Roses, and, of course, they 
had to be superior Roses. They are quite hardy, too. 
Editor McFarland. A most artistic bud of perfect form; 
~~ brilliant pink, with a silvery thread 
edging the petals; double, yet not overloaded. $1.00 each. 
Leonard Barron. The first “civilized” Rose evolved 
; - from the hardy Nutkana wild Rose of 
northern Alaska. Beautiful bud and very large bloom, full to 
the center. The color combination is hard to describe—a 
mixture of chamois, salmon, and amber. Heavily laden with 
red cedar fragrance. $1.00 each. 
Richardson Wright. Its parentage tells the story: 
“ ! ; Radiance and Ville de Paris. The 
bloom is different from any other Rose. Large and full, the 
crinkled petals are smooth satiny pink, mottled with carmine. 
Rich Radiance perfume. Robust plant. $1.00 each.

LADY FORTEVIOT. (B. R. Cant, 1928.) Very large buds which 
open to big, cup-shaped, semi-double, saffron-yellow flowers 
flushed with red and orange. A Rose of remarkable beauty and 
great distinction. Especially handsome in big beds. $1.00 each. 
Lady Hillingdon. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) A Tea Rose popular 
in the Boston neighborhood for its erect plants, 2 to 3 feet 
high, bearing numerous, large, bowl-shaped golden yellow 
flowers exquisitely formed ana deliciously fragrant. It needs 
a little more protection in Winter than a Hybrid Tea. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1926.) Noted for 
especially long, firm buds of golden orange, tinged with scarlet 
and copper, which retain their shell-like form a long time 
before opening. The mature flowers are deep golden yellow. 
LEONARD BARRON. (J. H. Nicolas, 1931.) See under “The 
Three Editors” on this page. 
LILIAN. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1930.) Stunning yellow Rose of 
low, sprawling, bushy habit, bearing huge, semi-double, fra¬ 
grant flowers of clear, piercing yellow. A very peculiar semi¬ 
double Rose of unusual type. An improvement on the old 
Christine. $1.50 each. 
Los Angeles. (Howard & Smith, 1916.) A marvelous Rose when 
seen at its best. Buds are admirably tapered and slowly expand 
to a. bloom of perfect proportion and substance. The petals 
are glowing salmon-pink, illumined with shining yellow. 
MARY HART. Plant Patent No. 8. (G. B. Hart, 1932.) This is 
one of the many remarkable variations of the popular Rose, 
Talisman. The flowers are dark maroon-red, with an orange or 
bronze undertone, very distinct and different from any shade of 
red heretofore known in Roses. Plants grow with all the vigor 
and freedom of the original Talisman. $1.50 each. 
Margaret McGredy. (S. McGredy & Son, 1927.) Sturdy bushes 
with extremely fine deep green foliage above which the bright 
scarlet buds are borne on stiff stems. The open flowers are 
fairly double, cup-shaped, brilliant brick-red, distinct from 
any other variety. One of the best bedding Roses. 
Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem. (G. A. van Rossem, 1926.) Noted 
for stunning shades of orange-yellow and the remarkable deep 
copper veins deeply etched on the outer surface of its petals. 
The erect plant bears an abundance of flowers over a long 
season and always attracts admiring attention. 
Miss Rowena Thom. (Howard & Smith, 1927.) A giant Rose, 
frequently 5)4 to 6 inches across. The blooms are rose-pink 
of a peculiar dusky shade, illumined with golden orange. 
Mme. Butterfly. (E. G. Hill Co., 1918.) For many years a popu¬ 
lar garden and cut-flower Rose. Buds and blooms perfectly 
formed, and delicately tinted with a combination of pearly 
white, pale pink, and gold. Especially stunning in the Autumn. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) A famous Rose 
which brought the first brilliant coral-pink shades into the 
Rose-garden. The large, semi-double flowers are fiery orange- 
pink, a color unsurpassed by any of its descendants. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. (J. Croibier & Sons, 1911.) The finest white 
garden Rose. Plants are bushy, 2 to 4 feet high, with erect 
stems bearing numerous medium-sized white flowers of unim¬ 
peachable form, each lightly tinged with peach-pink in the center. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) For many years a 
favorite garden and greenhouse variety, with exquisitely 
formed, buff-yellow buds, opening to very double, perfectly 
formed flowers of creamy yellow, tinged with pink. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. (Howard & Smith, 1926.) The 
most strenuous efforts of modern hybridizers have been de¬ 
voted to producing a good, hardy, everblooming yellow Rose 
for the garden. This variety is the finest that has been achieved 
to date. It is equally good for the garden and cutting. 
MRS. J. D. EISELE. Plant Patent No. 67. (Howard & Smith, 
1933.) Superb, new, glowing crimson variety full of hand¬ 
some, symmetrical, overlapping petals, each distinctly edged 
with a silvery line. A tall-growing, free-flowering, and most 
useful Rose for cutting and garden decoration. Probably the 
most outstanding American introduction of the year. $1.50 each.

bedding Rose of splendid habit, producing an abundance of 
bright yellow flowers, richer in quality than any other yellow
