Novelties and Varieties of Recent Introduction 
COUNTESS VANDAL. (Introduced by Jackson & Perkins Co., 1932.) Plant Patent 
No. 38. Its long, slender bud of coppery bronze, suffused with soft gold, opens very 
slowly. The finished blooms show a very unusual arrangement of petals, with a color com¬ 
bination of silvery salmon-pink and gold. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra 
Grade, $1.25. 
GOLDEN DAWN. (Patrick Grant, 1929.) We consider it the finest new golden yellow 
that has come to our attention lately. The bud is highly colored old-rose and yellow, 
but the flower, when open, is a clear sunflower-yellow. Sweetly fragrant. Very vigorous, 
medium height, bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
LUCIE MARIE. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1930.) Splendidly pointed, orange-yellow 
buds, with red veinations. The open bloom shows a magnificent blending of coppery 
yellow with the edge of the petals a golden pink. Sweetly fragrant. Vigorous, erect. 
No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
MARY HART. (G. B. Hart, 1931.) Plant Patent No. 8. A red sport of Talisman. 
Both the bud and open flower show a deep velvety maroon-red color that does not fade. 
Mary Hart is just as sturdy and strong a grower as Talisman, and the shape of the bloom 
is exactly the same. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. (S. McGredy & Son, 1930.) This is really a fine, well- 
formed, and truly colored “red” Rose, and so does not exactly tally with the name. 
Deep down inside the red petalage you will find the true scarlet tones. Fragrant. Very 
vigorous, erect and bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
MRS. J. D. EISELE. Plant Patent No. 67. A luscious shade of cherry-rose with a 
scarlet glow. Opening in spiral fashion, the blooms resemble giant camellias. Richly 
scented and fragrant. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. Spring delivery only. 
MRS. SAM McGREDY. (S. McGredy & Son, 1929.) A very distinctly colored Rose 
such as McGredy or no other hybridizer has ever introduced. The large, long-pointed 
bud is a deep coppery scarlet, opening to a very double bloom of a coppery orange color. 
Moderately fragrant. Very vigorous, bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. 
NIGRETTE. We do not offer this new patented variety. See Ami Quinard or Chateau 
de CIos Vougeot. 
PORTADOWN IVORY. (S. McGredy & Son, 1929.) Very large, long-pointed bud 
opens to a delicate creamy white flower of excellent form. A much-needed addition to 
the class of white Roses. This variety is also known as McGredy’s Ivory. Moderately 
fragrant. Very vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. 
ROSLYN. (Edward Towill, 1929.) Color of the long-pointed bud is deep orange; 
the large, full, semi-double flower is golden yellow, non-fading. The tones throughout 
are deeper than those found in Souv. de Claudius Pernet, one of its parents. Slightly 
fragrant. Very vigorous, bushy and free-branching. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. (C. Chambard, 1931.) This splendid new Rose 
is a brilliant and rich coral-pink. The form of both the long-pointed bud and open flower 
is nearly perfect in all stages of development; its petalage is always bright and fresh. The 
exceedingly fragrant blooms, borne on long stems, are ideal for cutting. Vigorous, up¬ 
right. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. 
SUNKIST. (E. G. Hill Co., 1932.) The orange-copper bud opens to a pure orange- 
yellow, sometimes called Indian-yellow. The bud is high-pointed and the open bloom is 
exceedingly graceful and well formed. Fragrant. Very vigorous, upright. No. 1 Grade, 
$1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. 
TOKEN. (Montgomery Co., 1933.) Plant Patent No. 95. The uniform but unique 
color corresponds to the rich tones of a sun-ripened apricot. Both the form of flower and 
habit of plant are very similar to the well-known Mme. Butterfly so that no more need 
be said in commendation of this beautiful new Rose. This has been a sensational new 
forcing Rose that is well adapted to garden use. No. 1 Grade, $1.50; Extra Grade, $2.00. 
WILLIAM ORR. (S. McGredy & Son, 1930.) Flowers very large, deep velvety crimson. 
The shining petals of firm substance never fade, even when open full; exceedingly fra¬ 
grant. The best new deep crimson. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50.
