THE HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 
Padre. A very showy Rose of the general type of Mme. Edouard 
Herriot, but with much more freedom of bloom. The coral colored, 
semi-double, scented flowers are profusely borne on long stems, for 
it is an erect, strong grower. 75c. 
Patience. A most exquisite Rose of unusual coloring. Scarlet carmine 
shaded with orange makes a rich charming flower. It is double, 
high centered, large and fragrant. It is somewhat similar to Olym¬ 
piad but is a better grower. The buds and half open blossoms are 
ideal for cutting with long stems. The growth is moderate. 75c. 
Pius XI. A well-shaped, creamy white blossom that has about the 
correct number of petals to make a handsome, light colored Rose. 
The fragrant blooms come on vigorous bushes with few thorns. 75c. 
Polly. A dainty, pretty blossom on the order of Ophelia but larger. 
The bud is long and pointed and opens into a delicate shell pink 
bloom that is suffused with golden yellow, deepening at the base. 
Numerous, fragrant blossoms are produced on vigorous, erect 
growing plants. 75c. 
President Herbert Hoover. The most popular new Rose of today, 
and justly so. Such striking beauty, strong growth and good cut 
flower qualities are seldom found in a single variety. The large 
flowers are a striking combination of yellow, orange, cerise and 
scarlet. The center of the blossom is a deep yellow with the two 
outside rows of petals splashed with a contrasting cerise. In the 
bud form only the reddish color shows but as the blossom expands 
more and more of the yellow is exposed until in the full open flower 
only the yellow is seen. The bush is one of the strongest upright, 
robust growers giving fine, long stems for cutting. Generally gives 
about 50 blooms a year, but one of my customers last Spring re¬ 
ported 129 blossoms on a Hoover bush which they purchased of me 
the Spring before. Illustrated in color on back cover. 75c. 
President Plumecocq. A soft toned Rose of beautiful form and 
good habit of growth. The coppery buff, salmon and gold colors 
blend harmoniously in a well-shaped blossom. The plant is an up¬ 
right, vigorous grower and produces a good quantity of fragrant 
flowers. 85c. 
Radiance. One of the most wonderful of all American Roses. It is an 
exceptionally strong, vigorous, upright grower and bears a profu¬ 
sion of large, globular flowers of a lovely silver pink with brighter 
tints on the reverse of petals. Fragrance, stems, production, 
disease resistance and color should place this Rose in every Rose 
garden. It has long been considered the best or rather easiest Rose 
for amateurs to grow. 75c. 
Red Radiance. As good as its parent Radiance in habit of growth 
and quantity of fragrant bloom. The very large, round flowers are 
rose red and are borne on long, strong stems. They never open 
fully but retain their cupped shape. A continuous bloomer all 
through the Summer until frost making it a very popular variety. 
See illustration, page 14. 75c. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. I feel that this is one of the most beautiful 
Roses that has ever been introduced. The inside of the large petals 
is a deep golden yellow and the outside a soft red shaded with yel¬ 
low. As the exquisite large buds unfold, the recurving petals expose 
their yellow color which gives the Rose a golden hue. Its large, fra¬ 
grant blossoms are borne quite continuously throughout the whole 
season, about 40 a year, and are always of most perfect shape. The 
leaves are a deep, healthy green and remain on the low growing 
plants until the frosts take them off. Illustrated in color on back 
cover. 75c. 
Roslyn. A rich color of golden yellow, similar to Souv. de Claudius 
Pernet but considered better. The fine cut flower with long stems is 
fragrant and long lasting. A vigorous, healthy grower. 75c. 
Rudolph Valentino. Very spectacular, large, double blossoms of a 
coppery orange color are borne singly on medium length stems. The 
bush is a low grower with healthy, dark green foliage. 85c. 
Schwabenland. You should see the immense fragrant blossoms this 
Rose produces. And they are not only large and very double but 
also perfectly formed. The pointed buds uncurl gradually so that 
they often last for a week. The deep pink blooms are carried singly 
on strong, stiff stems. The bush is a tall, vigorous grower. Illus¬ 
trated in color on page 12. 85c. 
Sensation. Enormous double blooms are produced on strong bushes. 
The petals are of great size and substance, making a long-lasting 
and beautiful flower. The fragrant blossoms are blackish red and 
especially splendid in the Fall. Good stems for cutting. See illus¬ 
tration, page 16. 75c.
