PLANTING 
SUGGESTIONS 
When planting a rose garden the 
best effect is obtained by planting 
three or more bushes of a variety. The 
concentration of color gives character 
to your garden. When cutting blooms 
for indoor decoration it is a great con¬ 
venience to be able to gather a large 
number of one kind.

‘Mary Hart. H.T. (1932) A red 
sport of Talisman with extra long 
buds and fine fragrance. Flowers 
are of true Talisman form and 
are borne very freely. Patented. 
$ 1 . 00 . 
‘McGredy's Ivory. (1929) The 
size and perfection of form of 
this wonderful rose are almost 
unbelievable. It stays in the full 
bud stage for several days, the 
thick petals opening very slowly 
though it does not ball. Color is a 
warm ivory that is most attrac¬ 
tive. 75c. 
‘McGredy's Scarlet. H.T. (1930) 
The color is dark, glowing rose 
rather than scarlet. A real find 
among the new roses. Buds are 
extra long, pointed and borne on 
long stems. Open blooms are quite 
fragrant, large and sufficiently 
double. We like this rose very 
much. 50c. 
‘McGredy's Triumph. H.T. (1934) 
Cerise-pink. Described on page 
35. Patented. $1.50. 
‘Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. H. 
T. (1926) An awkward name has 
handicapped this brilliant rose. 
Buds are a bit short but they are 
produced very freely and the 
color is gorgeous. Petals are ex¬ 
ceptionally thick and dark orange- 
yellow, heavily veined and suf¬ 
fused with red. Flowers are of 
medium size and fully double. 50c. 
Mme. Butterfly. H.T. Flowers 
light pink, suffused with gold and 
apricot near the base of the pet¬ 
als ; buds carried on erect stems; 
foliage and habit of growth very 
good. A very fragrant rose of al¬ 
most perfect form. 50c.

Mme. Edouard Herriot. H.T. 
(Daily Mail) Supreme as a bed¬ 
ding rose on account of its pro¬ 
fusion of bloom and vivid color. 
The old-rose-colored outer petals 
curl back, disclosing a riot of 
color from coral-red to flame 
pink, the base of each petal tipped 
with gold. 50c. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. H.T. A 
superb pink rose. The long buds 
of perfect form open to large, 
fully double blooms of dark glis¬ 
tening pink with a glint of yellow 
at the base of the petals. Stems 
are long and slender but give am¬ 
ple support to the unusually large 
blossoms. 50c.

Mrs. E. P. Thom. H.T. The successful 
result of the effort to find a rose of 
Claudius Pernet type that would retain 
its color and give good blooms through¬ 
out the season under ordinary garden 
conditions. Has well-formed buds and 
fairly large, double flowers of clear, 
even yellow, produced on good stems. 
50c. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles. H.T. Each year

‘Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. H.T. (1929) 
The most profusely blooming yellow 
rose grown. Buds are small but exquis¬ 
itely formed and of a dark orange- 
yellow that holds well. Bushes are com¬ 
pact with dark green, glossy, mildew- 
resistant foliage. A most satisfactory 
variety and one that has won many gold 
medals. (Illustrated in color on page 
38.) 60c. 
‘Mrs. Sam McGredy. H.T. (1929) For 
elegant, shapely buds, this beautiful rose 
cannot be surpassed. Buds are produced 
singly on strong slender stems. The color 
is a glowing combination of red, copper 
and orange changing to warm pink with 
gold suffusion as the flower ages. It 
combines exceptionally fine form with 
brilliant coloring and clean, healthy foli¬ 
age. (Illustrated in color on page 39.)
