A Selected Group of 
Novelties or Varieties of Recent 
Introduction 
We all realize that a Rose may have won gold 
medals in the Rose shows in Europe and still not 
be a desirable variety for American soil and cli¬ 
mate. Our own experiments have often proved 
this to be so. At the same time, from a very long 
list of comparatively recent introductions, we 
believe the following are worthy of a trial in the 
gardens of advanced Rose amateurs. Not only 
have they given a good account of themselves 
here in northern Jersey, but they have been out¬ 
standing in many nurseries and private and 
municipal Rose-gardens which we have recently 
visited throughout the East. Their performance 
has not been judged by the growth of maiden 
plants in the nursery row, but we have waited 
several years to note the behavior of established 
plants in our own and other gardens in different 
regions. 
Hybrid Tea Roses 
CALEDONIA. (Dobbie & Co., 1928.) High-pointed bud 
opening to a pure white, very double, high-centered 
bloom. Moderately fragrant. Very vigorous, upright 
and free-branching. $1.00. 
COUNTESS VANDAL. Plant Patent No. 38, assigned to 
Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., 1932. Its long, 
slender bud of coppery bronze, suffused with soft gold, 
opens very slowly. The finished blooms show a very 
unusual arrangement of petals, with a color combination 
of silvery salmon-pink and gold. Vigorous, erect. $1.25.
