“THE BEST IN ROSES” 
MRS. PIERRE S. Du PONT (Mallerin, 1929) $ .50 
For color and form, this rose is among the best. 
It won the Bagatelle prize in Paris for the best 
yellow rose. The bud is of medium size, pointed, 
and of a beautiful reddish gold opening to semi¬ 
double, very fragrant flower of deep golden yellow. 
A strong growing plant with an abundance of dis¬ 
ease resistant foliage. The most prolific bloomer of 
all the yellow roses. Highly recommended. 
MRS. SAM McGREDY (McGredy 1929) $ .75 
This rose is probably the best of the roses that this 
famous hybridizer has produced, and one of the best 
garden roses in commerce. It has a wonderful com¬ 
bination of colors, scarlet orange heavily flushed 
with Lincoln red on outside of petals. Buds are 
large and long pointed, flowers double, fragrant and 
very lasting. The bush is a strong grower with 
abundant glossy foliage; young foliage a dark red¬ 
dish green. A prolific bloomer. 
NIGHT (McGredy 1930) $ .75 
A medium size flower of dark blackish crimson, al¬ 
most black in the spring in a cool climate. A mod¬ 
erate grower and bloomer. Subject to mildew. 
NORMAN LAMBERT $ .50 
A large handsome semi-double flower of coppery- 
orange with shadings of bronze and orange. A vig¬ 
orous grower and free bloomer. Best suited for a 
cool climate. 
OLYMPIAD (Gaujard 1931) $.50 
Since strong plants have been grown, this rose has 
been much improved. The bud is long and pointed 
and opens to a perfectly formed flower with color 
that ranges from blood red to an orangy cerise. 
The plant is a moderate bushy grower with medium 
size, light green foliage. A profuse bloomer. Sub¬ 
ject to mildew and_ slightly weak necks. 
PADRE $ .50 
Brilliant coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at base 
of petals. A strong upright grower. Excellent as 
a garden rose but not for cutting. 
PORTADOWN FRAGRANCE 
(McGredy 1931) $ .50 
And what a fragrance! A very double flower of 
orange-salmon pink with a silver sheen. A low 
spreading bushy grower with thick bronzy foliage. 
A profuse bloomer. Winner of the Clay Cup for 
fragrance.
