SINGLE HYBRID TEA 
ROSES 
All the charm of the Wild Rose is had in this class 
of vigorous, free-flowering Garden Roses. The 
blooms have a graceful, airy appearance that delights 
everyone who sees them. The beauty of form and the 
attractive colorings of the single Hybrid Tea Roses 
are making them more popular each year. The 
assortment which I offer comprises the choicest 
varieties which have been perfected. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz., except where noted 
Bardou Job. Rich crimson, shaded almost black. 
A dainty flower, with handsome outline, not mas¬ 
sive like most very dark sorts. 
Irish Beauty. Pure white, with distinct and promi¬ 
nent bright golden anthers; very large; deliciously 
fragrant; free-flowering. 
Irish Brightness. Vivid crimson, shading pink at 
base of petals; flowering profusely in large trusses 
of five to ten blooms. 
Irish Elegance. In the bud a bronze and orange- 
scarlet, then varied apricot hues of a peculiar 
charm. Growth vigorous and erect, branching 
freely. A profuse bloomer from early June until 
the end of the season. $1 each. 
Irish Fireflame. A strikingly gorgeous Rose, which 
conveys the idea of a flame. In the spiral bud 
stage it is a deep maddery orange, which becomes, 
as the flower fully opens, a rich, satiny, ochrey 
old-gold, delicately sheened, as if sunset-tinged, 
with pure crimson and pure lemon zone, against 
which the light, fauny anthers form a beautiful con¬ 
trast. Combined with the size, 5JJ inches across, 
the finish of the bloom instantly pronounces its 
loveliness. The handsome graceful wood is shiny 
purple-chocolate, with varnished, deep bronzy 
green, ovate foliage. Strongly tea perfumed. 
Vigorous growth and never out of bloom. Dor¬ 
mant, field-grown. $1 each, $10 per doz. 
Irish Glory. A most striking flower of immense size, 
produced in large clusters. Marked venation 
makes the color seem to be a lovely marbled silver 
on the inside of the petals, in fine contrast with 
the golden anthers; very sweet. 
Irish Harmony. Buds saffron-yellow, crayoned 
claret; the flowers creamy white, large size; very 
free-flowering. 
Irish Modesty. Delicate coral-pink; straw-colored 
anthers; bloom large. 
Irish Pride. Ecru, suffused old-rose; flowers con¬ 
tinuously. 
Irish Star. Rose du Barri, with rich golden stamens; 
perfect, star-like, lemon center. 
Mrs. A. Kingsmill. Pale pink, the reverse of petals 
soft rose; the blooms are single, petals shell¬ 
shaped. 75 cts. each. 
I shall want about a dozen H.P.’s, six or eight more climb¬ 
ing roses and between 200 and 300 H. I .’s, so when your new 
catalogue is ready, be sure to send me a copy. I bought some 
H.T.’s of others besides you this spring and the list included 
some Mrs. Geo. Shawyers, so I have had an opportunity to 
compare their roses with yours, and I must say that the 
roses purchased of you are very much stronger and better than 
the others. In fact some of the others have already 
“croaked,” while yours are growing vigorously.—R. M. 
Patrick, Illinois, August 14, 1914.
