THE HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 
Severine. Long, slim buds open into pleasing, semi-double gold and 
coral flowers giving a wonderful effect because they are borne in 
great profusion. This variety is almost always in bloom and the 
buds are very popular for buttonholes. A very vigorous, tall-grow¬ 
ing bush with sweetly fragrant blossoms. $1.00. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. One of the most talked-of yellow 
Roses. Its color is a definite and lovely Sunflower yellow, without 
any color blending and which is retained, fading but little, even in 
the warmest weather. The buds are long-pointed, of excellent 
shape, and are carried on long, stiff stems. A vigorous grower and 
a prolific bloomer, about 50 flowers, but the blossoms in the early 
season sometimes show the dark center, but in the late Summer and 
Fall, they are perfect. Only slightly fragrant. Illustration on 
page 15. 75c. 
Souvenir de George Beckwith. Another variety for those who like 
very double, large flowers. The charming blossoms are a salmon 
pink and the petals are of great substance so that they will last a 
long time when cut. A very vigorous grower producing blossoms 
singly on long, strong stems. Moderately fragrant. 75c. 
Souv. de Georges Pernet. The large-cupped blossoms that are 
borne on strong, stiff stems are of striking color. They are an orien¬ 
tal red, shading yellow at the base of the broad, thick petals. They 
are fragrant, full double, and lasting. The growth is strong and 
vigorous. It is a good all-around Rose. 75c. 
Sun God. Superb, large blossoms are produced fieely on low growing 
compact bushes. The gorgeous color combinations do not fit into 
words; there are blends of copper, old gold, and salmon in the dou¬ 
ble globular flowers. 75c. 
Sunstar. Real Rose lovers enjoy the simplicity and the delicate col¬ 
orings in this almost single variety. The fragrant blossoms are soft 
yellow, edged and veined, splashed with soft rose, a unique, very 
delicate and pleasing combination. Medium sized, semi-double 
flowers with exquisite shadings. 75c. 
Talisman. One of the most popular, vividly colored Roses ever intro¬ 
duced. The plant grows vigorously and produces about 75 blooms 
a season. The flowers have great substance and never lose their 
striking color although it varies greatly according to the weather. 
The fragrant blossoms are of Tulip shape as they are opening and 
although composed of comparatively few petals (25), they last very 
well when cut. Illustrated in color on page 10. 75c. 
The Queen Alexandra Rose. A distinctly novel Rose of a striking 
color. The color is an intense velvety carmine on the inside of the 
petals, shading to gold at their base, with ashes of Roses color on 
the outside. It will be conspicuous anywhere, even when surrounded 
by other Roses. I believe it is not surpassed by any of the recent 
introductions in novel Roses. The sweetly fragrant blossoms are 
borne sparingly throughout the Summer and are always of striking 
color. About 20 per year. 75c. 
Una Wallace. The fine shape of the beautiful old-rose-colored blooms 
borne on such long stems, make it a great Rose for cutting. Its 
flowers are fragrant, of medium size, and the foliage disease resis¬ 
tant. The plants are unusually tall when well grown, and fine 
flowers—about 3 dozen per season—can be cut at times with stems 
2 ft. long. Of course, it needs generous feeding and care to enable 
it to do this; but it is worth it. It is one of the varieties which we 
feel will always produce satisfaction for the customer if they want 
cut flowers. 75c. 
Vaterland. Distinct in color, a rich, deep red with maroon shadings. 
The pointed buds uncurl into a large, high-centered, velvety Rose of 
perfect form. The bush is vigorous and strong. 75c. 
Ville de Paris. A big, loose, globular Rose of a beautiful clear deep 
yellow color that stays yellow. The petals are large, giving the 
bloom a charming informal appearance. The long, wiry stems also 
make the bush more of the graceful informal type. It is an easy 
growing variety and produces an abundance—about 3\3ozen a year 
—of fragrant, real yellow blossoms. The foliage is a glossy green, 
quite disease resistant. Illustrated on inside back cover. 75c. 
W. E. Chaplin. An exceptionally beautiful red Rose. The large, high- 
centered blooms are a deep crimson that do not blue nor burn; they 
are of perfect shape, full and composed of large, heavy petals. The 
bush is a good, vigorous grower of medium height and the stems, 
are strong and of average length. $1.00. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Its distinctive Autumn-hued color and the pecu¬ 
liarly pungent perfume, like that of ripe Apples, should make this 
gorgeous Rose better known. The large, double, high-centered 
blooms are borne on strong, stiff stems. The broad, apricot yellow 
petals tinged with copper and heavily veined with vermilion make a 
unique and wonderful color combination. The plant is a vigorous, 
rather low grower. It is one of my favorites and I strongly recom¬ 
mend it. Illustrated on opposite page. 75c.
