THE HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 
Crimson Queen. Most people like deep red Roses and this fragrant 
variety is unusually attractive not only because of its deep rich color 
but also its beautiful long bud. It is good all season but especially 
great in the Fall. A profuse bloomer and easy grower. 75c. 
Dainty Bess. This charming Rose creates quite a sensation whenever 
seen. It is a single variety that opens up a shell pink and exposes 
purple stamens, producing a remarkable color effect. The blossoms 
are 2 to 3 in. across and are freely produced. 75c. 
Director Rubio. Long cerise scarlet buds open into broad, semi¬ 
double blooms of a solid deep pink. The fragrant flowers, often 5 in. 
across are on short, thick stems and the bush is a low grower. 75c. 
Doris Dickson. I wish you could see the exquisite delicate coloring of 
these large petaled, gorgeous blossoms. The color is primarily a 
soft rose pink with prominent yellow veining intensifying as it con¬ 
verges toward the base of the long petals and spreading into a solid 
color of translucent gold. The bush is tall and vigorous growing and 
about as thorny as you can find them. Richly perfumed. 75c. 
Dotty. You will enjoy the unusual coloring of the bud and open flower 
of this new Rose. The deep orange coloring with cerise veining and 
markings is found in both the bud and open blossom which is of 
average size. It is a splendid grower and a good cut flower. 85c. 
Duchess of Wellington. The suffusion of coppery yellow, blending 
to deep intense gold, makes superb buds for cutting, a commendable 
feature of the Rose. When the flowers open the soft primrose and 
peach is equally pleasing. The very long and pointed buds open into 
fragrant flowers moderately full and very large. A vigorous grower 
of spreading habit with disease resistant foliage. It should produce 
on an average of 50 to 60 blooms a year. Illustrated on page 5. 75c. 
Edith Nellie Perkins. An outstanding, vigorous and free flowering 
Rose. Handsome, long-pointed buds open into large, double, fra¬ 
grant flowers. They are a salmon pink flushed orange, getting 
lighter towards the edges. The blossoms are high centered and long 
lasting when cut. It is a fine new variety that is good in every 
respect. Illustrated in color on page 9. 85c. 
Editor McFarland. Named for the editor of the American Rose 
Annual . who is one of the outstanding authorities in this country 
on Roses. The perfectly formed, brilliant blossoms are an unfading 
deep rose pink. It is a good cut flower variety. 75c. 
E. G. Hill. Gorgeous, deep red buds open into immense, very double, 
rich blossoms that deepen in color with age. The center of the hand¬ 
some blossoms are filled and completely covered with small petals. 
The flowers are borne abundantly on moderate growing bushes with 
long, wiry stems. Rich, old rose perfume. Illustrated on page 5. 75c. 
Eldorado. Eveiy Rose grower will greatly prize this fine golden yel¬ 
low Rose. If you wish to plant a yellow Rose of merit we highly 
recommend this variety. Its tall, vigorous growth, free flowering 
habit and beautiful color make it one of the leading yellow varieties. 
The fragrant flowers are immense, very double, and are long lasting.

Elegante. The urn-shaped, soft yellow buds are borne abundantly on 
vigorous plants. They open into large, fragrant, creamy yellow 
blooms. The variety is very well named. The bush is a good grower 
and is disease-resistant. 75c. 
Elvira Aramayo. An entirely different and unique Rose, both in color 
and shape. The color is a bright coral or peach shade, turning 
lighter as the flower matures. The buds come out long and beautiful 
but as they unfold the blossom becomes ragged and Cactuslike with 
quilled petals. The profusion of flaming blooms makes the bush very 
showy. The blossoms are slightly fragrant. 75c. 
Etoile de Hollande. One of the best recent introductions among red 
Roses. Its color is a lasting, deep, rich, glowing red and the large, 
fragrant blooms are borne freely, about 30 a year, on long, strong 
stems. The blossoms are made up of a moderate number of loose, 
large petals of a beautiful shade. It is a splendid grower, a reliable 
bloomer with rich beautiful flowers. 75c. 
Evert Van Dyke. A new pink Rose that is very worth while. Me¬ 
dium sized, high centered blossoms are borne in profusion through¬ 
out the season on long, strong stems. The bright pink blossoms, 
suffused with salmon, open very slowly, exposing a Rose that is 
beautiful in all its stages. Delicious fragrance. 75c. 
Feu Joseph Looymans. One of the Roses that everyone would love 
if they saw the exquisite long tapering buds of an old gold color. 
The fragrant blossoms are fairly full and freely produced. The bush 
is only a moderate grower. 85c.
