THE HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 
Gaiety. Some of us like the changeable or variable Roses, for we en¬ 
joy surprises. The colors in this charming Rose are difficult to de¬ 
scribe for they vary from apricot, cream, and pink to gold and or¬ 
ange. The plant is a good grower; disease-resistant and produces 
about 50 blooms a season. 75c. 
Golden Dawn. Those who are apt to neglect their Roses in spraying 
or dusting, will welcome this new, almost foolproof variety. The 
large, double blossoms are splashed daintly with crimson near the 
edges and the small petals fill and completely cover the centers. 
The flowers are light yellow and moderately fragrant. The stems 
are oi average length and the plant is low growing and bushy. 
Illustrated in color on page 9. 85c. 
Golden Emblem. A favorite yellow Rose. Exquisite golden buds, 
streaked on the outside with red, open into well-shaped flowers of a 
rich yellow tint. The foliage is a deep blue green and has a decided 
Hollylike appearance. This Rose possesses the true Tea fragrance. 
It is one of the most beautiful yellow Roses but is quite subject 
to black spot. 75c. 
Gruss an Coburg. Very vigorous branching growth that continu¬ 
ously sends out attractive, medium sized blossoms on long stems. 
The fragrant blooms are a brownish yellow, fading to an apricot 
yellow. 75c. 
Gruss an Teplitz. The universal favorite among the red Roses for a 
showing in the garden. It is the most hardy, the most vigorous and 
the most free blooming of all. Fragrant flowers of rich scarlet, shad¬ 
ing to velvety crimson, are borne several on a stem. An established 
plant should give 300 to 400 blooms a year. This is a supreme gar¬ 
den Rose but not a good cut flower as the stems are weak and the 
blooms droop. A tall grower, do not prune it hard. 75c. 
Heinrich Eggers. Pink blossoms with a delicate orange tint and 
with a yellow shading at the base, are borne freely on long, strong 
stems. The well shaped long buds open into full, double, high-cen¬ 
tered flowers of perfect shape. A fairly strong grower. 75c. 
Hilda. This Rose reminds one of the old-fashioned Roses from grand¬ 
mother’s garden because of the perfect laid rosette of petals and 
even the color reminds one of old-fashioned flowers. It is a different 
shade of pink than we find in any other Rose. The pink is suffused 
with deep apricot like we often find in Zinnias. The very double, 
perfumed blooms come in great profusion on vigorous bushes. 75c. 
Impress. The blossoms are enormous, beautifully shaped and last 
for days when cut. The large, ovoid buds open into rich salmon 
pink flowers that have a luminous golden glow and are very impres¬ 
sive. The plant is of moderate growth but very free flowering. 75c. 
Independence Day. One of the finest of the newer Roses originated 
in England; it has both beauty and quality. The first year it is set 
out, it should give about 100 blooms. Blooms of old gold, overlay¬ 
ing orange apricot, are very showy and attractive. Strong stems 
hold the fragrant flowers erect, and the plant has glossy, leathery 
foliage. This is one of my favorite Roses and I strongly recommend 
it if you want a quantity of bloom in the garden. 75c.

Independence Day 
Irish Hope. I wish you could see the rich lovely blossoms of this deep 
red Rose. A splendid and distinct red, with well formed buds com¬ 
posed of heavy, broad petals opening to moderately full, fragrant 
flowers. It is a rich rosy crimson with maroon shadings. Not a tall 
grower but has good habit. Illustrated on inside back cover. 75c. 
J. C. Thornton. Long pointed buds that are marvelous for cutting 
are the outstanding characteristics of this brilliant Rose. Its bright, 
glowing, scarlet crimson blossoms are well shaped and of lasting 
character. Fragrant. Vigorous, upright growth. 75c. 
Joanna Hill. This is one of the new Roses used extensively in bridal 
bouquets. Its color is a soft attractive yellow similar to the old pop¬ 
ular Sunburst but is a little deeper and more lasting. The tragrant 
buds and flowers are of exquisite form and are borne singly on very 
long, strong stems. The petals curl back most attractively and the 
blossom lasts very well when cut. Plant plentifully of this kind to 
always have an abundance of fine flowers. 50 to 75 blossoms^per 
plant during the season. Illustrated in color on page 11. 75c. 
John Russell. An immense, very dark red velvet Rose of globular 
type, beautiful both in the bud and fully expanded, very double 
flowers. The stems are long and strong and the bush is one of the 
most vigorous tall growers. It almost exactly fills the mental pic¬ 
ture we have of American Beauty. See illustration, page 6. /5c. 
Jules Gaujard. Distinct and beautiful large blossoms have a spar¬ 
kling appearance different from other Roses. They are a pretty 
shade of orange rose, are double and cupped shape. I he bushes are 
thorny and very vigorous. 75c.
