Each 
Dickson’s Centennial. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 
1937, Patent applied for.) A truly marvelous 
new rose with superb blooms of deep glowing 
crimson and velvety red shadings, inner petals 
sparkling strawberry red when fully devel¬ 
oped, a velvety sheen radiates from every 
petal; vigorous and very fragrant.$2.00 
Duchess of Wellington. (A. Dickson & Sons, 
1909.) This still remains one of the best be¬ 
loved hybrid tea roses in commerce, carries 
coppery yellow flowers of good size and is fra¬ 
grant. There are larger yellows but none 
more dependable. 
Eclipse. (J. H. Nicolas, 1936, Patent 172.) A 
winner of many International prizes abroad, 
color very rich golden yellow, 20-25 petals to 
the flower, petals are large and tough, and 
without shading .$1.50 
Edith Nellie Perkins. (A Dickson & Sons, 1928.) 
Long pointed buds which are creamy and blush 
without, the color within being salmon pink 
with a golden orange base. A superb rose, vig¬ 
orous and very fragrant. 
Etoile de Hollande. (Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) 
Rich crimson red, one of our very finest bed¬ 
ding roses where brilliancy and constant 
blooming qualities are desired. Very fragrant 
Feu Joseph Looymans. (Looymans, 1921.) Long 
pointed buds of glowing apricot and old gold, 
which are fragrant and of fine form, steadily 
growing in favor. 
Golden Dawn. (P. Grant, 1929.) A lovely yel¬ 
low Australian rose, the flowers in color re¬ 
semble those of that grand old variety Mare- 
chal Neil, fine foliage and vigorous. 
Gruss an Teplitz. (Geschwindt, 1897.) Carries 
bunches of medium sized crimson red flowers 
which are fragrant. Too robust to go with 
other hybrid teas, its place is in a bed by it¬ 
self or in the shrubbery border, must be more 
lightly pruned also. 
Innocence. Nearly single with 12 petals. Very 
large snow white flowers with wine red sta¬ 
mens tipped with golden anthers. 
Irish Fireflame. (Alexander Dickson & Sons, 
1913.) Another lovely single rose, the color 
is madder orange changing to old gold. 
Killarney Queen. (Budlong & Sons, 1912.) This 
is easily the best of the pink sports from the 
one time popular Killarney, bright pink 
semi-double flowers . 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. (Lambert, 1891.) 
This old variety still retains considerable 
popularity, the flowers are pearly white, 
tinted lemon, fragrant and well formed, the 
plant is not a very good grower, however .... 
Lady Margaret Stewart. (Alex. Dickson & 
Sons, 1926.) A truly glorious gold medal 
rose. The color is sunflower yellow veined 
orange scarlet, with the reverse of petals 
deeply suffused carmine, of a lovely orange 
shade when fully open, may well be classed 
as a glorified Rev. F. Page Roberts, but more 
vigorous than that lovely rose. 
Los Angeles. (Howard & Smith, 1916.) Rich 
flame color shaded orange, fragrant, lovely in 
bud and its glorious color gives it great popu¬ 
larity, must be well protected from black 
spot . * .
