HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Red Radiance. (Gude Bros., 1916.) A bright cherry-red counter¬ 
part of Radiance. Both varieties are deliciously fragrant. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) A most 
magnificent flower of golden yellow, splashed with crimson and 
copper shades on the outside of the bud. It is especially hand¬ 
some in the Autumn. 
ROSLYN. (E. Towill, 1929.) A distinct yellow variety which 
has proved of high merit in the garden. The big, double, golden 
yellow flowers are exquisitely formed. 
SIGNORA. Plant Patent No. 201. (Aicardi, 1936.) Large, nicely 
built flowers of warm burnt-sienna, maturing to a very at¬ 
tractive blend of orange and pink, the petals heavily veined. 
A tall, hardy plant which blooms freely. One of the best of the 
new Roses. $2.00 each. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pemet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) Splendid 
flowers of clear, light yellow, with specially handsome, dark 
green, glossy foliage. A very dependable garden Rose. 
Souv. de Mme. C. Chambard. (C. Chambard, 1931.) Vigorous,

appearance, combining tones of scarlet and orange-yellow with 
intermediate harmonious shades.

Nursery, 1935.) A sport of President Herbert Hoover with all 
of Hoover’s good qualities. Vigorous, healthy plants and quan¬ 
tities of nicely formed flowers of vermilion-red with a touch of 
gold at the base of the petal. $1.00 each. 
TOKEN. Plant Patent No. 95. (Montgomery Co., 1933.) 
Large, Ophelia-shaped bud. The double flowers are a single- 
toned, sun-ripened apricot—a unique color. It is a free bloomer 
and has an upright growth in the garden. Its glossy foliage is 
disease-resistant. $1.25 each. 
TEMNO. (J. Bohm, 1935.) One of the darkest of all Roses. A 
large, very double flower of velvety, deep maroon, with the 
delicious fragrance of the old-time Roses. Flowers are freely 
produced on a strong, branching plant. The best of this type 
of Rose. $1.50 each. 
Ville de Paris. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) Relatively tall plants, 
bearing large, globular, semi-double flowers of clear, translucent 
yellow. A very charming and graceful bedding variety. 
WHITE BRIARCLLFF (Mme. Louis Lens). Plant Patent No. 
108. (L. Lens, 1933.) A splendid new white Rose of perfect 
form and of a pure glistening white without any tinting. The 
flowers, on good cutting stems, are continuously produced on 
medium-sized, branching plants. $1.50 each. 
Willowmere. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) One of the finest Roses in 
the world. Long, glowing salmon-pink buds, opening to 
blooms of brilliant shell-pink, with a luminous glow of yellow. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The varieties which belong to this class make heavy bushes 
3 to 6 feet tall and bear a profusion of fine, bold flowers in early 
Summer and a few scanty blooms from then until Autumn when 
a fair second crop is produced. Hardier than Hybrid Teas. 
Frau Karl Druschki. (P. Lambert, 1900.) Finest white Rose of 
any class; beautifully shaped and enormous. Flowers freely 
throughout the season when established. Not fragrant. 
General Jacqueminot. (Roussel, 1852.) A popular old favorite 
with almost double, beautifully pointed flowers of light scarlet- 
crimson; intensely fragrant. 
Georg Arends. (W. Hinner, 1910.) Long-pointed buds and 
exquisitely shaped flowers of clear, soft pink. Fragrant and 
extremely appealing. One of the most beautiful. 
Mrs. John Laing. (H. Bennett, 1887.) A very popular Rose of 
erect habit, with cup-shaped flowers of glowing pink. 
Paul Neyron. (A. Levet, 1869.) A very popular old Rose with 
smooth stems and gigantic flowers of deep purple-rose. 
Ulrich Brunner. (F. Levet, 1881.) Tall-growing, robust plant 
which produces an abundance of huge, circular, frilled flowers 
of glowing cherry-red. Very showy and popular Rose. 
A New Class of Everblooming 
Hybrid Perpetuals 
These robust varieties are bedding plants, their growth not ex¬ 
ceeding that of well-grown Hybrid Teas; actually, they are Hybrid 
Teas, plus hardiness. (The following list is in order of novelty.) 
OTTO KRAUSS. (C. Weigand, 1931; introduced in U. S. by 
Joseph Breck & Sons, 1933.) Rich copper bud opening to a 
large, double bloom of orange-copper, lightened with salmon 
and gold at the bases of the petals; quite fragrant. Three or 
four blooms come on long stems, opening in succession. Vigor¬ 
ous plant, with shiny, healthy foliage. $1.00 each. 
S. M. GUSTAVE V. (P. Nabonnand, 1922.) As prolific as any 
Hybrid Tea. The medium to large blooms are brilliant Paul 
Neyron pink, very double, heavily scented with true old Rose 
perfume. We consider it one of the best everblooming pink 
Roses. An ideal bedding variety. 75c each. 
MME. ALBERT BARBIER. (Barbier & Co., 1925.) Color 
identical to that of the lovely Mrs. Aaron Ward—buff, salmon, 
and yellow. The large blooms are artistically nested in hand¬ 
some foliage and have long stems for cutting. 75c each. 
HENRY NEVARD. (F. Cant & Co., 1924.) A mammoth bloom 
of most perfect form and a frequent winner as “Most Beauti¬ 
ful Rose in the Show.” It is velvety crimson in color, and 
very fragrant. Stems are often 2 feet long. 75c each. 
Austrian Brier Roses 
These are shrub Roses and should not be planted in beds with 
the varieties wanted for cutting. They are ornamental bushes to 
be used as lawn specimens or in shrubby borders. 
$1.00 each; 10 for $9.00 
Austrian Copper (Rosa Jcetida bicolor). (Gerarde, 1596.) Graceful 
shrubs with small foliage and brown stems, covered with 
innumerable single flowers of intense copper-red on the inner 
surface of the petals and golden yellow on the outside. 
Harison’s Yellow. (Harison, 1830.) The fine old-fashioned bush 
Rose which grows in old farmyards and gardens all over New 
England. Thousands of bright yellow, semi-double flowers in 
long sprays adorn its spreading branches in early Summer. 
Persian Yellow (R. Jcetida persiana). (H. Willock, 1837.) Some¬ 
times mistaken for Harison’s Yellow, but a less vigorous plant 
with smaller, more cup-shaped, and deeper golden yellow 
flowers. An extremely handsome, decorative shrub. 
Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses of 
Special Interest 
Cl. President Hoover. A climbing sport of the lovely Hybrid 
Tea which is one of the most popular of the bicolor Roses. 
The yellow, pink, and flame flowers are excellent for cutting, 
having extra-long stems. $1.00 each. 
Cl. Radiance. A thoroughly reliable sport of the world’s 
favorite pink Rose. Large, cupped, pink flowers with 
delicious fragrance are freely produced on a strong-growing 
climber. A climbing Hybrid Tea for everyone. $1.00 each. 
Cl. Red Radiance. This strong-growing sport of Red Ra¬ 
diance should become very popular, as it is an unusually 
free bloomer, with flowers possibly a little larger than its 
parent. Like most of the climbing sports, the flowers are 
produced on long stems. $1.00 each. 
Cl. Talisman. With flowers exactly like its parent, except that 
they are slightly larger and on longer stems, this climbing 
sport of Talisman is making good everywhere. It repeats 
during a long season. $1.00 each. 
Mermaid. A true everbloomer, carrying a few of its glorious 
flowers all season. The open blooms are 5 to 6 inches across 
and are pale sulphur-yellow. It is a strong grower, with 
beautiful shiny foliage, but is not reliably hardy north of 
Philadelphia. It is worth the trouble of protecting in 
winter. $1.25 each.
