HYBRID TEAS 
Killarney Pink 
N O FLOWER gives you such beautiful color and fragrance as the Rose. 
These varieties all have been selected for hardiness out-of-doors, for 
vigor, fragrance, beauty and for cut flowers, too. 
I personally like Roses best of all flowers. I want every home in the 
Farm Belt to have a bed of these everblooming hardy roses. The hardy 
Hybrid Teas commence blooming just a few weeks after planting, continu¬ 
ing until late frost, not only this year but every year. 
These are all healthy, thrifty, vigorous, outdoor nursery grown two 
year olds. They are hardy, true to name varieties that will gTow and' 
bloom for you. Every type and every different colored rose you might 
desire. Plant your roses, early. The earlier you plant them, the earlier 
they bloom for you. 
A lot of my Rose fans have asked me to select a dozen of our best 
Hybrid Tea Roses. My answer is that every one I’ve listed here are 
top notch roses, nothing but the best. 
Many not in color are just as beautiful as those in color. The best 
I can say is that any one you select will be a beauty. It depends on 
your idea of the color combination. 
HOLLYWOOD. A splendid strong, 
sturdy, long stemmed upright grow¬ 
ing dark rose red flower. The promi¬ 
nent veins in the flower petals are a 
darker red. 
AKGSLE PERNET. A unique shade of 
rich brownish orange. Equally as 
satisfying a flower as Claudius Per- 
net or Georges Pernet. 
BRIARCLIFF. A new one with large 
pointed buds. Brilliant rose pink in 
color. Very fragrant and free bloom¬ 
ing variety. 
ETOILE DE FRANCE. Vivid crimson 
flowers. The centers are a bright cerise. 
Very fragrant and long lasting in bloom. 
GEN. McARTHUR. Crimson-scarlet. Very 
fragrant. One of the best red bedding 
Hoses and especially fine in hot weather. 
Full, double. 
Briarcliff 
TALISMAN. This Rose has the most 
gorgeous collection of colors ever pre¬ 
sented by a Rose. The colorings of this 
great Rose are gold, apricot, yellow, 
blood orange, deep pink and old rose. 
E. G. HILL. Probably the finest red rose 
ever introduced. Large blooms, spark¬ 
ling crimson in color with a scarlet glow. 
A very fragrant variety. Velvety on the 
inside. 
JOANNA HILL. Beautiful large flowers, 
Indian Yellow in color with creamy 
outer edges and a faint orange center. 
A bold buff color, a good rose, new and 
different. Flowers are very double. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. We 
have President Herbert Hoover in our 
Rose Garden here at the Seed House. It 
is in full sunlight. The bushes are about 
feet tall, very vigorous, and have 
produced lots of flowers this past 
summer. I cut one that had a stem 30 
inches in length. The color is a com¬ 
bination of cerise, pink, flame, scarlet 
and yellow, giving it the most dazzling 
color effect everrseen in any rose. 
EDEL. A new white variety of great merit. 
Extremely hardy. Creamy white, bloom¬ 
ing all summer long. Will stand lots of 
grief. 
LADY MARGARET STEWART. Another 
popular new rose with disease resistant 
foliage. The bud is coppery orange, 
opening to a bright golden yellow flower 
of extra large size. 
DAME EDITH HELEN. A magnificent, 
fragrant, new Rose of many petals 
which curl back very prettily, hold¬ 
ing to one vivid pink color, and has 
the distinctive, rare Rose du Barri 
shade. 
MARGARET McGREDY. One of the 
new, popular McGredy Roses. The 
bushes are in bloom all season long. 
They grow' upright and produce lots 
of flowers on long, strong stems. 
Brick red in color with a golden 
colored base. 
MRS. ERSKINE F. THOM. A bright 
canary yellow of delightful fra¬ 
grance. It blooms very freely all 
summer long and considered by 
many flower lovers to be the best 
yellow garden rose. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. A charming 
deep-toned, carmine Rose with cop¬ 
pery orange. Has rolled edges. One 
of the most charming of the ever- 
blooming Roses. 
COLUMBIA. Lively bright pink, 
sw’eetly scented flowers. Free 
bloomer, good grower and healthy 
foliage. 
Etoile de Holland 
J. L. MOCK. The.Giant Rose from Holland. 
Great big pink buds, the largest buds of 
any of the Hybrid Tea roses. 
K. A. VIKTORIA. This beautiful snowy 
white Rose is vigorous, hardy, and very 
fragrant. 
SOUV. de CLAUDIUS PERNET. This is 
a sun-flower yellow Rose. Won the gold 
medal in Paris in 1920 and is very 
hardy. Dry, warm, sunny days bring it 
to blooming perfection. 
SOUV. de GEORGES PERNET. Same 
shape as Claude Pernet and the petals 
are oriental red with stripes of carmine 
on a gold colored base. As the petals 
slowly unfurl, the color blends to an old 
rose kind of brick shade. There is no 
other color to match it in the entire 
rose family. 
SUNBURST. When they named this rose 
they said it all as far as description is 
concerned. It has that yellow orange 
color that resembles the setting sun.
