pointed, glorious scarlet-crimson buds, opening to rich, in¬ 
tensely fragrant, glowing red flowers of superb texture. 
Feu Joseph Looymans. (P. J. Looymans & Co., 1922.) Long, 
tapering buds, stained with orange and ruddy crimson, opening 
to handsome old-gold flowers flushed with orange and apricot. 
GOLDEN DAWN. (Patrick Qrant, 1929.) A magnificent new 
Rose from Australia, with big, fat, golden yellow buds stained 
with coppery red, opening to delightfully scented, lemon- 
yellow flowers of splendid form and substance. 
GOVERNOR ALFRED E. SMITH. Plant Patent No. 62. 
(Mme. Denoyel, 1933.) Showy new Rose with ovoid buds of 
deep brownish buff, opening to large, high-centered, double 
blooms of a blend of buff, terra-cotta, gold, and salmon. 
Plants bloom freely throughout the season. $1.50 each. 
GRENOBLE. (C. Mallerin, 1927.) High-centered, double 
flowers of 30 to 40 clear scarlet petals, fragrant, and extremely 
lasting. A splendid new red Rose of vigorous growth and con¬ 
tinuous flowering habit. $1.00 each. 
Gruss an Teplitz. (Geschwind, 1897.) A most vigorous, erect 
bush growing 3 to 5 feet high, bearing a profusion of fragrant, 
medium-sized, gracefully nodding flowers of rich scarlet-crim¬ 
son shaded with black. Splendid for garden decoration. 
Hadley. (Montgomery Co., 1914.) Gracefully formed buds of 
clear scarlet-crimson, opening to handsome velvety red 
flowers, richly fragrant and long lasting. Splendid for cutting. 
HORTULANUS BUDDE. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1929.) 
Vivid scarlet-crimson flowers on free-flowering bushes. 
J. C. THORNTON. (Bees, 1926.) Scarlet-red. Most prolific; 
never out of bloom. Without equal for color effect. 
Joanna Hill. (J. H. Hill Co., 1928.) A splendid Rose for cutting, 
with curiously shaped, buff-yellow buds on superb stems. 
Flowers expand slowly, paling as they develop to deep creamy 
yellow with old-gold shadings. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. (P. Lambert, 1891.) A charming old 
Rose with pointed, lemony white buds, opening to perfectly 
formed, very double white flowers lightly tinted with lemon. 
Lady Alice Stanley. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) Magnificent, 
circular flowers with many rows of overlapping petals. Brilliant 
silvery pink on the inner surface of the petals and deep shining 
rose on the outside; intensely fragrant. 
LADY FORTEVIOT. (B. R. Cant, 1928.) Very large buds which 
open to big, cup-shaped, semi-double, saffron-yellow flowers 
flushed with red and orange. A Rose of remarkable beauty and 
great distinction. Especially handsome in big beds. $1.00 each. 
Lady Hillingdon. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) A Tea Rose popular 
in the Boston neighborhood for its erect plants, 2 to 3 feet 
high, bearing numerous, large, bowl-shaped golden yellow 
flowers exquisitely formed and deliciously fragrant. It needs 
a little more protection in Winter than a Hybrid Tea. 
LEONARD BARRON. (J. H. Nicolas, 1931.) Extra-sturdy 
bushes and enormous blooms distinguish this Rose. An infu¬ 
sion of Rosa nutkana blood in the parentage has added a strain 
of ruggedness that is unique in Roses. Its blooms, 5 inches or 
more across, have myriads of petals making it one of the 
largest and fullest Roses ever produced. In color it is a 
blending of salmon, buff, and shell-pink, and its fragrance is 
decidedly different—some say red cedar and others red rasp¬ 
berry. Wonderful bloomer. $1.00 each. 
MARY HART. Plant Patent No. 8. (G. B. Hart, 1932.) This is 
one of the many remarkable variations of the popular Rose, 
Talisman. The flowers are dark maroon-red, with an orange or 
bronze undertone, very distinct and different from any shade of 
red heretofore known in Roses. Plants grow with all the vigor 
and freedom of the original Talisman. $1.00 each. 
Margaret McGredy. (S. McGredy & Son, 1927.) Sturdy bushes 
with extremely fine deep green foliage above which the bright 
scarlet buds are borne on stiff stems. The open flowers are 
fairly double, cup-shaped, brilliant brick-red, distinct from 
any other variety. One of the best bedding Roses. 
McGREDY’S IVORY (Portadown Ivory). (S. McGredy & Son, 
1929.) A beautifully formed Rose of delicate creamy white, 
especially handsome in the bud form, with long, deep, shell¬ 
like petals sweetly curled and folded; long-lasting and fragrant. 
The plants are tall and flower-stems long. $1.00 each. 
Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem. (G. A. van Rossem, 1926.) Noted 
for stunning shades of orange-yellow and the remarkable deep 
copper veins deeply etched on the outer surface of its petals. 
The erect plant bears an abundance of flowers over a long 
season and always attracts admiring attention. 
Miss Rowena Thom. (Howard & Smith, 1927.) A giant Rose, 
frequently 5)4 to 6 inches across. The blooms are rose-pink 
of a peculiar dusky shade, illumined with golden orange. 
Mme. Butterfly. (E. G. Hill Co., 1918.) For many years a popu¬ 
lar garden and cut-flower Rose. Buds and blooms perfectly 
formed, and delicately tinted with a combination of pearly 
white, pale pink, and gold. Especially stunning in the Autumn. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) A famous Rose 
which brought the first brilliant coral-pink shades into the 
Rose-garden. The large, semi-double flowers are fiery orange- 
pink, a color unsurpassed by any of its descendants. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. (J. Croibier & Sons, 1911.) The finest white 
garden Rose. Plants are bushy, 2 to 4 feet high, with erect 
stems bearing numerous medium-sized white flowers of unim¬ 
peachable form, each lightly tinged with peach-pink in the center. 
MME. NICOLAS AUSSEL. (Pernet-Ducher, 1930.) Bud very 
long; flower double, salmon, shaded carmine and ochre, tinted 
yellow at the base; intensely fragrant. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) For many years a 
favorite garden and greenhouse variety, with exquisitely 
formed, buff-yellow buds, opening to very double, perfectly 
formed flowers of creamy yellow, tinged with pink. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. (Howard & Smith, 1926.) The 
most strenuous efforts of modern hybridizers have been de¬ 
voted to producing a good, hardy, everblooming yellow Rose 
for the garden. This variety is the finest that has been achieved 
to date. It is equally good for the garden and cutting. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. (Charles Mallerin, 1929.) A compact 
bedding Rose of splendid habit, producing an abundance of 
bright yellow flowers, richer in quality than any other yellow 
garden Rose. Especially valued for its free-flowering habit 
throughout the Summer. $1.00 each. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (S. McGredy & Son, 1929.) Superb, high- 
centered, long-lasting, fragrant flower of scarlet-copper-orange, 
heavily flushed with red. One of the finest Roses introduced 
in years. $1.00 each. 
NIGRETTE. Plant Patent No. 87. (M. Krause, 1934.) “The 
Black Rose of Sangerhausen.” The cup-shaped flowers are 
intensely deep maroon, with blackish velvety sheen, and are 
deliciously fragrant. It is the darkest of Roses, appearing 
almost black from a little distance. The petals do not burn in 
the sun. Plant is continuously in bloom, spending most of its 
energy in forming blossoms (originator’s description). The 
sensation of the European Rose world is now available for the 
first time in this country. $2.00 each. 
Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the old loves of the 
Rose-garden. A dainty, pearly pink flower, lightly touched 
with gold and cream color. The blooms are exquisitely formed. 
President Herbert Hoover. (L. B Coddington, 1930.) A new 
Rose of astonishing vigor, producing long, handsomely shaped 
yellow buds deeply stained with maroon and copper, opening 
to big, half-double flowers of soft straw-yellow, flushed with 
deep rose on the outer surface. Very popular. 
PRINCE FELIX (de Luxembourg). (Ketten Bros., 1930.) 
Well-formed bloom, rather large, of brilliant scarlet-red. Tall, 
healthy plant of Radiance type. We are very much enthused 
over it. Has stood below-zero weather without injury. $1.00each. 
Radiance. (J. Cook, 1908.) The best-known garden Rose in 
America. Extremely vigorous, producing plants 2 to 4 feet 
high. The bold, sparkling pink flowers are very fragrant. 
Red Radiance. (Guae Bros., 1916.) A bright cherry-rea counter¬ 
part of Radiance. Both varieties are deliciously fragrant. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) A most 
magnificent flower of golden yellow, splashed with crimson and 
copper shades on the outside of the bud. It is especially hand¬ 
some in the Autumn.
