Hybrid Tea Novelties and Recent Varieties 
ALEZANE. (L. Pahissa, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 116. Bud urn-shaped, large, reddish 
brown; flowers cupped, semi-double, opening to sorrel, unfurling from sorrel to rich apricot 
and reverse of petals sorrel striped with yellow veins. A striking novelty because of its 
unique color. Growth very vigorous, upright branching; dark green foliage. No. 1 Grade, 
$1.50; Extra Grade, $1.75. 
BETTER TIMES. (Jos. H. Hill Co., 1934.) Plant Patent No. 23. Long, rosy red 
buds open to brilliantly colored cerise flowers that are large and double. Delicately 
fragrant. While this fine new Rose has proved to be a valuable greenhouse forcing variety, 
it is equally as valuable as an outdoor garden Rose because of the strong plant consti¬ 
tution of its parents. Excellent for cutting because of its long stems and leathery, dark 
green foliage. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. See cut, page 5. 
CARILLON. (J. H. Nicolas, 1935.) Plant Patent No. 136. A bedding Rose of great 
activity, giving at all times a note of cheer in the garden. Its long-pointed buds are 
orange-scarlet, contrasting pleasantly with the green sepals. The half-open bloom is a 
deep coral, overcast with orange, and the full bloom is large—4 inches diameter—the 
inner petals being irregularly but artistically arranged. Bush is branching, so that when 
planted in mass the whole bed is blanketed with glossy foliage upon which rest the many 
blooms. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. 
CONDESA DE SASTAGO. (P. Dot, 1932.) An outstanding Spanish novelty showing 
the vivid colors of the old species Rose, Austrian Copper. Showy golden yellow buds are 
brilliantly striped bright red, and the open double flower shows the same colors. The 
plant is a very easy grower and blooms freely at all times. This is, undoubtedly, the best 
of Pedro Dot’s Spanish novelties for general soil and climate conditions throughout the 
United States. Spicy fragrance. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. 
COUNTESS VANDAL. (M. Leenders, 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 combination of silvery salmon- 
pink and gold. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. See cut, 
page 20. 
CRIMSON GLORY. (W. Kordes Sons, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 105. Large, urn¬ 
shaped buds and very well-formed flowers of an intense deep vivid shade of ox-blood-red 
and mellowed with a soft velvety nap. The plant shows very vigorous constitution 
throughout the season, and we are ready to class it as the very best new Rose seen through¬ 
out the East during the 1935 season and unquestionably the best dark red Rose introduced 
in years. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50. Spring delivery only. See cut, page 21. 
GLOAMING. (J. H. Nicolas, 1935.) Plant Patent No. 137. The color is a soft satiny 
pink heavily laden with salmon and amber. Delightful fragrance. A cut-flower variety, 
and also of great value to the garden. The large buds are carried on long, rigid stems, 
amply clothed with handsome foliage. Plant is vigorous and branching, fairly tall- 
growing. The bloom is large and full, well formed, and long-lasting, either in water or 
on the plant. No. 1 Grade, $1.50; Extra Grade, $1.75. See cut, page 5. 
LEONARD BARRON. (J. H. Nicolas, 1932.) A very interesting variety created from 
the Eskimo Wild Rose, Nutkana. The mammoth blooms, often 6 inches across, are very 
full but open perfectly. A lovely shade of salmon, with glow of amber. Delicious wild- 
rose fragrance. Extremely hardy. Very vigorous, bushy. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra 
Grade, $1.25. 
LITTLE BEAUTY. (Howard & Smith, 1934.) Plant Patent No. 149. The first of an 
entirely new race of truly everblooming Roses. In color they are a brilliant cerise of 
wonderful purity, and as the flowers open they assume a pleasing soft deep pink. Splendid 
for garden display because it combines pleasing color effect with quantities of well-formed 
blooms throughout the season. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. Spring delivery 
only.
