MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES, continued 
Schwabenland 
Red Radiance 
Ville de Paris 
HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Otto Krauss. A tall, upright-growing va¬ 
riety, robust and vigorous, with large 
orange flowers overlaid with copper, shad¬ 
ing to a beautiful fawn as they mature. 
Long, straight stems. Very showy and easy 
to grow. $1.00 each. 
Pink Dawn. A very pretty, showy Rose of 
exceptional merit. Perfectly full, double 
flowers of deep rose, opening to a lovely 
pink with an orange base and sweetly fra¬ 
grant. Sturdy, upright habit; fine for 
garden display and for cutting. 85c. each. 
President Herbert Hoover. One of the best 
of the newer bicolored Roses. Long- 
pointed buds open to large, loose, fragrant 
flowers of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and 
yellow. The very tall plants produce their 
flowers on extra-long stems. 85c. each. 
Prince Felix. Large, well-formed flowers of 
brilliant red. Strong, vigorous plant of 
Radiance type and extremely hardy. 85c. 
each. 
Radiance. A Rose of American origin and, 
to our mind, one of the very best varieties 
in cultivation today. It is an ideal bedder, 
producing large flowers throughout the 
summer when many other varieties are out 
of bloom. In color, it is a beautiful even 
shade of pink. This Rose should be in 
every garden. 85c. each. 
Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance 
from which it is a sport, possessing all of the 
good points of that valuable variety, but 
differing in color, which is bright cerise-red. 
85c. each. 
Rose Marie. Beautiful long buds which open 
into large flowers of perfect form and of a 
pleasing clear rose-pink. An old favorite. 
85c. each. 
Roslyn. Full golden yellow flowers, deeper 
in the center, with orange splashings on the 
reverse of the petals; fragrant. Can be cut 
with long stems. 85c. each. 
Schwabenland. There are many pink 
Roses but none just like this variety, either 
in color or in the excellent formation of its 
blooms. The flowers are large, over 5 inches 
in diameter, with a high spiral center, the 
petals having a peculiar twist or curl; color 
a luminous, rich rose-pink, retaining its 
brightness until the petals drop. 85c. each. 
Sensation. Excellent large, crimson-scarlet, 
perfect in its long-pointed bud as well as in 
the fully developed, sweetly scented, double 
flower. A strong, vigorous grower. 85c. each. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A nicely 
formed flower of unfading sunflower-yel¬ 
low, the first real yellow garden Rose. 
Vigorous, erect plant with shiny foliage. A 
consistent bloomer. 85e. each. 
Sunburst. Vigorous grower, with erect or 
slightly spreading habit and dark bronzy 
foliage. The flowers are of medium size, 
full, fine elongated cup-form, superb cad¬ 
mium-yellow, passing to yellow-orange in 
the center. 85c. each. 
Talisman. This Rose has proved a fine 
garden variety. Its combination of apricot, 
gold, and deep rose-pink gives a glittering 
mass of color over a long period of time. 
A free-blooming variety with the highest- 
colored blooms in autumn. 85c. each. 
Vaterland. The flowers are rich deep vel¬ 
vety scarlet-maroon, finely formed, high- 
centered, and with remarkable keeping 
qualities. Plant is of vigorous, strong, erect 
habit, with healthy foliage; free and per¬ 
petual flowering. 85c. each. 
Ville de Paris. Pu re yellow without a trace 
of any other color, standing up under all 
weather conditions; round buds and large 
globular flowers, fairly double and excellent 
for cutting. Plant is tall, upright, and a 
free bloomer. 85c. each. 
W. E. Chaplin. A most meritorious red Rose. 
Free-flowering, vigorous grower, with dis¬ 
ease-resistant foliage. The flowers are 
large, every bud developing into a perfect, 
full, high-centered, moderately sweet- 
scented deep crimson flower. 85c. each. 
Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
Before the development of the Hybrid 
Teas, this was the most popular type for 
garden planting. For a while they were 
neglected but because of their great hardi¬ 
ness and the quantity of their large flowers, 
they are again becoming popular. Most of 
them are deliciously fragrant. They are 
perfectly hardy and of vigorous growth, 
blooming profusely in June and some¬ 
times sparingly in autumn. Hybrid Per- 
petuals are taller in growth and need more 
space than the Hybrid Teas; in pruning, 
cut away all weak growth, and if quality of 
bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes 
to within 8 to 9 inches of the ground, but 
if quantity of bloom for garden effect is 
desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet 
high, according to their strength. 
American Beauty. Very large, deep pink 
to carmine-cerise flowers, delicately veined 
with darker red. A strong grower and de¬ 
liciously fragrant. 85c. each. 
Frau Karl Druschki. The flower is very 
double and opens to a pure snow-white. 
Growth is vigorous and the plant is a most 
prolific bloomer during the month of June. 
Scattering flowers often appear in the fall. 
85c. each. 
Gen. Jacqueminot. The old favorite 
“Jack” Rose is still popular. Blooms are 
large, full, and globular, having an excel¬ 
lent cup-shaped form; in color they are 
brilliant scarlet-crimson, with deep veining 
toward the base of the petals. 85c. each. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. This remarkable 
variety in its habit of flowering is as free as 
many of the popular Hybrid Tea Roses. 
Growth strong and vigorous. The buds are 
long and well formed, of pearly white 
suffused with soft, salmony flesh, and de¬ 
velop into large, full, double imbricated 
flowers of excellent form, which as they 
expand show a golden apricot suffused 
center. 85c. each. 
Magna Charta. An old variety of great 
merit. The blooms are of large size, bright 
pink suffused with carmine. It is very fra¬ 
grant and free flowering. 85c. each. 
Mrs. John Laing. Beautifully formed, 
shell-pink flowers, exceedingly fragrant, 
and borne on strong stems. Fine for cut¬ 
ting. A good grower. 85c. each. 
Paul Neyron. Probably the largest Rose in 
cultivation. Flowers clear pink, shading to 
soft rose, and having a delightful fragrance. 
A strong, vigorous grower. 85c. each. 
Ulrich Brunner. Bright cherry-red flowers 
of large size and good form, produced freely 
on long stems. 85c. each. 
Rosa Hugonis 
Rosa Hugonis, Golden Rose of China 
This Chinese native is a notable contri¬ 
bution to American gardens. Every 
branch of the previous year’s growth is, in 
late April or early May, closely set on 
both sides to the very tip with exquisitely 
beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers. The 
long, arching sprays make Hugonis not 
only a beautiful shrub, to be planted, if 
one so prefers, with other shrubs, but 
when cut are charming as table decora¬ 
tion. A graceful shrub with red canes and 
thorns and fine fern-like foliage. 85c. 
each; doz. $9.00. 
All varieties listed at 85c. each will be supplied at $9.00 per doz.
