FIELD-GROWN 
Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses 
Field-grown, hardy, 2-year, No. 1 plants, 40c each; 
3 for $1.05, postpaid. 
Betty Uprichard. A charming type with rolling edges. A blend 
of deep carmine with coppery orange, the interior being 
mostly a delicate salmon-pink. 
Dame Edith Helen. A magnificent, fragrant, full-bodied new 
rose of many substantial petals which curl back prettily, hold¬ 
ing steadily to one vivid pink color, and that the rare Rose 
du Barri shade. 
Sensation. Etoile de Erance. Velvety garnet-red cup, with center of vivid 
cerise. Flowers very large and full, with marked imbrications. 
Grass 1 an Teplitz. Intense depth and richness of color. Vel¬ 
vety crimson-red. 
Dame Edith Helen. 
Kaisexin Augusta Victoria. Full double flowers; delicate 
creamy white; deliciously fragrant. 
DOS' Angeles. One of the grandest all-round roses of Ameri¬ 
can origin ever put on the market. Flowers large and con¬ 
tinuous, in color a flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded 
with translucent gold at the base of the petals. 
Talisman. The most gorgeous assemblage of colors in one 
flower ever presented by a rose. That it has pleased the ex¬ 
perts is proven by the great number of gold medal awards 
given it since the shows of ’28. The bud is long and shapely, 
developing into medium sized compactly double flowers; a 
free bloomer, with glossy foliage and strong plant growth. 
Here are the strong colors exhibited, mostly in well defined 
angular blocks: gold, apricot-yellow, blood-orange, deep pink 
and old rose. 
Mrs, Erskine 
P embroke 
Thom. 
Madame 
Butterfly. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. Buds are deeply cupped. Color, deep golden orange, 
shading to creamy yellow. This popular variety has long been the standard 
yellow, small-budded “corsage rose” for our American women. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 1926). An unfading 
yellow with dark healthy foliage. Slender yellow buds opening to well¬ 
shaped canary-yellow blooms, deepening in the center. A satisfactory rose 
for bedding on account of its fine foliage, heavy growth and wealth of 
bloom. 
President Herbert Hoover. The brilliant new Hybrid Tea Rose that has 
become popular over night. Picture the amazingly rich contrast of its ma¬ 
roon, orange and gold colorings as they merge together in their glorious 
' way. Long pointed buds, tall strong stems and its heavy blooming qualities 
make it an ideal Rose for the florist’s trade, and so far it has not been 
grown in near large enough quantities to supply the demand. Also, it is 
a fine Rose in the garden. 
Mme, Butterfly. A symphony of cream, pink, apricot and 
gold. The buds are a rich Indian red, yellow at base ; a de¬ 
lightful element in the constant mass of bloom. 
Mme Edouard Herriot. (Per.). A glorious commingling of 
terra cotta, bronze, geranium-red and dull copper; fine, 
long, pointed buds of coral-red and yellow. Strong, upright 
growth. 
Willowmere. (Per.). A robust garden rose of bushy habit, 
with beautiful buds, very large flowers and lustrous green 
foliage. Color rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow at center, 
toning to cream-pink toward base of petals. 
Mme. Jules Boucbe. Pure white slightly blushed at center. A fine bed¬ 
ding type. 
Badiauce. Extra hardy, vigorous and prolific; one of the best all-around gar¬ 
den roses. Its color is a beautiful blending of carmine-rose with shades of 
• opal and copper. 
Sensation. • Bud is large, long-pointed; the expanded flower very double, 
averaging 5 inches across ; very lasting. The finish suggests rich velvet, in 
color a scarlet-crimson deepened over all by glossy maroon. The foliage is 
;dark, and the scented bloom profuse. 
Souv. de Claudius Pernet. This fine variety maintains its reputation as 
[the most reliable and strongest yellow rose ever introduced. Its color is a 
j decided and unstained sunflower yellow, even deeper toned at center. Un¬ 
like most yellows, hot weather and exposure have little effect upon its 
■. pigments ; the matured flower gleaming as richly as. when first unfolding. 
Its flower form is large and full, buds long and pointed. Vigorous, erect and 
branching, with brilliant foliage and long, substantial stems. 
Sunburst. Flowers full, of fine elongated form; yellow, orange in the 
center.
