THE E. G. HILL COMPANY 
The New and Notable Roses of the Past Year. 
SUNBURST 
The New Yellow Forcing Rose 
1 his magnificent, giant yellow rose stands head and shoulders above all other sorts of its 
color, and will rank with American Beauty and the Killarneys in value and grandeur—because, 
It has a long, pointed bud which can be cut tight for market. It is pre-eminently a long¬ 
stemmed rose. It is extraordinarily vigorous and healthy. It belongs in the class of Big Roses. 
Its keeping qualities approach the marvelous. 
Our English friends say that its great substance and durable texture suggest its likeness to 
a “Yellow Chatenay,” but unlike Chatenay, it outranks nearly every other forcing rose in 
size. It is in very heavy demand for 1913, being taken up successfully by all the best growers, 
the cut bloom is extremely popular in the market. 
Own root stock only, $20 per 100; $150 per 1000 ; for further prices see page 16. 
ARTHUR GOODWIN 
Coppery orange-red, passing to salmon-pink as the 
flowers open, a superb combination of color; flowers 
medium to large and full; vigorous and free branching; 
should prove a valuable and showy bedder. 
COUNT (“GRAF”) ZEPPELIN 
A fine climbing rose in the way of “Tausendschon,” 
but the color is vivid pink with fiery reflex; very ef¬ 
fective, even at a distance. 
CLIMBING WHITE COCHET 
No word is needed to emphasize the value of this 
grand climber which has retained all the good qualities 
of the parent in addition to its climbing habit; it has 
already awakened a lively interest among rose growers. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY 
A seedling from American Beauty with Wichuriana 
and Tea blood in its veins. Same color, size and fra¬ 
grance as “American Beauty,” with the addition of the 
climbing habit, good foliage and better blooming qual¬ 
ities. Blooms, 3 to 4 inches across; has proved per¬ 
fectly hardy and stands heat and drought. 
LADY PIRRIE 
A delightful garden rose of very distinct coloring, 
the outside of the petals is reddish salmon, inside ap¬ 
ricot, flushed fawn and copper. 
A free branching H. T., flowering at the point of 
every shoot; an ideal variety for bedding; color, free¬ 
dom of growth, abundance of bloom are bound to put 
this rose in the very forefront of garden favorites. 
MARGARET 
A very clear and delicate tint of soft pink, a shade 
of color that is particularly beautiful under artificial 
light; buds long and handsome, developing into large, 
stiff-petaled flowers, the outer petals being nicely re¬ 
flexed; of good lasting qualities, excellent for forcing 
and cutting; growth vigorous. 
MISS ALICE DE ROTHSCHILD 
The color is rich, deep citron yellow, which inten¬ 
sifies as the bloom expands. The flowers are very 
large, full and of perfect form, with high-pointed center, 
petals beautifully reflexed; growth vigorous and erect, 
free and continuous; deliciously fragrant, superb in 
every respect. Described as a dwarf, bedding form of 
M. Neil. Has given good results as a nursery rose 
in the South. 
MARQUISE DE GANAY 
Nice silvery pink; enormous cupped flower, with 
broad, massive petals; nice and full; very fragrant. 
M. Guillot, the raiser, says this is the largest bloom 
among H. T.’s.
