MeGREDY’S IVORY. Long bud with greenish 
markings, opening to ivory white, perfectly 
shaped double blooms; sweet scented. 
MeGREDY’S SCARLET. The flowers are of 
good size, full double, of a brilliant scarlet, or- 
angy-yellow at the base of petals. The color 
varies some under changing weather conditions 
but is always beautiful. 
MEVOUW G. A. VAN ROSSEM. There is no 
more brilliant and out-of-the ordinary color in 
roses than is found in this variety. The general 
color effect is intense orange overlaid on a dark 
golden yellow ground, the brilliant coloring being 
intensified by the rich bronzy-red veins which 
stand out over the petals as though they had 
been penciled on. The bush is of medium 
growth. A very spectacular rose. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. A cross between those 
two popular roses. Radiance and Los Angeles, 
with enormous, very double flowers of rose pink. 
Extremely vigorous growth. 
MME. NICOLAS AUSSEL. A marvelously beau¬ 
tiful rose with a unique color of bright coDpery 
red in a very long, shapely, tapering bud' that 
develops into a large, full, double flower of an 
exquisite opalescent salmon pink. Growth vig¬ 
orous and healthy, free and continuous bloomer. 
An outstanding new rose. 
MRS. E. P. THOM. A long pointed bud with 
well shaped open flowers of deep yellow. A mass 
of golden-yellow throughout the blooming period. 
This rose is considered much finer than Souvenir 
de Claudius Pernet being a stronger grower and 
better open bloom. 
MRS. PIERRE S. du PONT. Winner of more 
Gold medals for outdoor blooms than any other 
rose ever grown. The bud is long-pointed, rich 
yellow gold and it holds its color well until 
the end. Foliage is very ornamental, healthy, 
and extremely disease resistant. A most con¬ 
tinuous bloomer. We consider this the finest 
clear yellow rose ever introduced. 
NORMAN LAMBERT. Blazing orange-yellow 
buds which open to cone-shaped canary yellow 
blooms bright edged and flushed with pink and 
scarlet. 
OLD GOLD. Corsage and boutonniere rose of 
old gold color. An old favorite. 
OLYMPIAD. Its color is unique, a lustrous, 
dark Oriental scarlet, its depth of color accentu¬ 
ated by the golden base and intensified by a rich 
velvety sheen. The bud is long and pointed and 
magnificient in every stage of development. A 
rose of supreme loveliness which must be seen to 
be appreciated. 
PATIENCE. The color is difficult to describe 
but in general, is a scarlet-carmine, varying at 
times to orange-scarlet. Long slender buds of 
which the bush is full at all times, expand into 
splendidly formed flowers which hold their color 
extremely well. Provides an amazing quantity of 
wonderful buds for cutting. 
PORTERDOWN FRAGRANCE. Brilliant or¬ 
ange-scarlet passing to rose toward edge of 
petals, flushed with peach pink. Delicious per¬ 
fume. 
REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. Copper-red buds, 
well formed; as the buds open the inner surface 
of the petals is a soft buff yellow, and the re¬ 
verse is a rich salmon pink. Flowers large and 
double, with a delicious fruity fragrance. 
ROSLYN. Charming, pointed buds of golden 
yellow and frilled, open flower of buttercup hue 
strengthened with orange shades. A good free 
bloomer.

over five inches in diameter with a high spiral 
center, the petals having a peculiar twist or curl. 
In color it is a rich luminous rose pink, retain¬ 
ing its brightness until the petals drop, the 
flowers are carried singly on long stiff stems. 
A strong, healthy, hardy, vigorous grower. 
SOUV. D’ ALEXANDRE BERNAIX. Large, 
cupped blooms, full to the center; of crimson, 
shaded velvety purple. Splendid perfume and 
fine lasting qualities are two of its virtues. A 
good growing symmetrical plant. 
SYRACUSE. Bright crimson flowers full of 
wavy petals, outer petals recurring. Open bloom 
is very double. Borne singly on good stems by 
tall, vigorous bushy plants of healthy foliage. 
Fine for cutting. 
THOMAS A. EDISON. The blooms are large, 
fully double and fragrant. There are two shades 
of pink concerned, a lovely pale silvery pink on 
one side of the petals and just clear pink on the 
other side. It is a big flower on a big strong 
plant. A great rose named for a great man.

eral days when cut. A tall free-blooming bush.
