WILLIAM N. CRAIG, WEYMOUTH 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Amongst the newer offerings in the Hybrid Tea 
class the following are especially good, not all new 
varieties are of value, in fact many highly touted 
patented kinds are of little value; these are in my 
estimation really good, Dickson’s Centennial, Signora, 
Eclipse, McGredy’s Yellow, McGredy’s Triumph, 
Carrie Jacobs Bond, Alezane, Better Times and 
Symphony. 
Each 
Alezane. (Pahissa 1934, Patent No. 116.) The 
large reddish brown buds open to sorrel and 
unfurl rich apricot with reverse side sorrel 
striped yellow. Vigorous growth, a really 
striking novelty.$1.50 
Angele Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1924.) Or¬ 
ange yellow, shaded orange apricot, a real 
glowing sunset color, very lovely. 
Autumn. (Coddington, 1931.) Burnt orange in 
bud stage, fully expanded flowers are burnt 
orange streaked red, some fragrance, medium 
size, free bloomer. 
Better Times. (J. H. Hill Co., 1934, Plant 
Patent 23.) A grand new rose of outstanding 
excellence which promises to become just as 
popular outdoors as under glass. The large 
cerise red flowers are carried on splendid 
stems and foliage is excellent, delicately fra¬ 
grant .$1.25 
Betty Uprichard. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1922.) 
One of the very finest bedding roses both here 
and abroad. A lovely combination of colors, 
inner face delicate salmon pink, outside glow¬ 
ing carmine with coppery sheen and orange 
suffusion . 
Briarcliff. (Briarcliff Greenhouses, 1925.) A 
sport from Columbia without its faults. Large 
pointed flowers, silvery rose pink in color .... 
Caledonia. (Dobbie, 1925.) Magnificent large 
double snow white flower. Foliage good and 
plant very vigorous. 
Carrie Jacobs Bond. (Howard & Smith, 1934.) 
(Patent 158.) A truly beautiful rose named 
in honor of the author of “The End of a 
Perfect Day.” The large, double flowers are 
of fine form and carried on strong stems. In 
color a rich deep rose enhanced by a luminous 
coral sheen.$1.50 
Charles K. Douglas. (Hugh Dickson, 1919.) A 
rich scarlet rose which holds its color well. 
Fragrant and a very good clean grower. 
Columbia. (E. G. Hill Co., 1917.) For several 
years the leading forcing rose of its color, still 
much favored as a garden variety, bright pink 
and a free bloomer. 
Countess Vandal. (Leenders & Co., 1932.) 
(Patent No. 38.) Long pointed buds of 
bronze, coppery salmon, and gold with some 
fragrance.$1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 
Dame Edith Helen. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 
1926.) This lovely rose has steadily grown in 
favor. The immense blooms are of a glorious, 
brilliant, soft pink color, the petals curl pret¬ 
tily and the fragrance is quite pronounced ... 
Double White Killarney. (Budlong & Sons Co., 
1913.) This is the best of the white forms of 
Killarney, the color is pure and the plants 
flower very freely. Habit is rather dwarf.
