Mistress Aaron Ward—(Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) A most 
striking color—Indian-yellow shading to lemon-cream at 
edges of petals. Very large and full, of refined form, 
cupped and very deep, effectively showing the golden heart. 
Conceded to be a splendid new garden Rose, while latest 
tests have proven it a valuable addition to the forcing 
class. 
Mistress Arthur Robert Waddell—(Pernet-Ducher, 190S.) 
Long and pointed _ buds of rosy-scarlet, opening coppery- 
salmon; large, semi-double and extremely snowy. A fancy 
forcer and rampant grower with exceptionally handsome 
foliage and an excellent keeper. 
Mistress Benjamin R. Cant—(Cant, 1901.) Bright, clear 
rose-pink; a beautiful bedding Rose similar to Papa Gon- 
tier in style and color; a free grower and bloomer. 
Mistress Charles Russell—(Montgomery, 1913.) Bright 
rose-pink, deepening toward center; otherwise described as 
a light shade of cerise which does not fade to blue but 
turns a lighter shade as the flowers age. As compared 
with American Beauty, cciual in size and fragrance; supe¬ 
rior in its longer, pointed form; far more beautiful in color; 
preferable in heavy, leathery foliage which never drops and 
is almost mildew proof; stronger and freer producer of 
long canes; much more prolific in bloom of better keeping 
and shipping qualities. 
Mistress Cutbush—(See Phyllis.) 
Mistress Degraw—Bright coral-pink, flowering in clus¬ 
ters ; prolific and hardy. 
Mistress Dudley Cross—(Wm. Paul & Son, 1907.) Pale, 
soft rosy-yellow, with deeper shadings, delightful in color 
and of a beautifully rounded form, supported on good, 
erect stems. A meritorious new garden variety. 
Mistress Foley-Hobbs—(A. Dickson, 1910.) Delicate 
ivory-white, faintly tinged clear pink on edges of thick, 
shell-shaped, enormous petals which form giant blooms of 
exquisite form and finish. Floriferous and deliciously tea- 
scented. Superb; winner of Gold Medal, N. R. S. 
Mistress Fred Straker—(A. Dickson, 1910.) Orange- 
crimson in the bud, developing as the bloom expands to 
silvery-fawn on front of petals and delicate orange-pink 
on back—a color scheme beyond the power of words to 
describe. Buds long and elegant with a perfectly spiral 
finish, very floriferous and in every respect a splendid 
Rose, highly tea perfumed. 
Mistress George Shawyer—(Lowe & Shawycr, 1911.) 
Brilliant rose-pink, or bright peach-pink, the nearest ap¬ 
proach to Rose Queen in tone. Flowers large, well 
formed, fairly full, with petals of good substance. Freer 
in growth and. bloom than Killarncy; breaks in rapid suc¬ 
cession, throwing up 3 to 4-foot canes carrying heavy, 
leathery foliage, every shoot tipped with a bud. Winner 
of many awards, one' of the most popular new forcers, 
from the raisers of Lady Hillingdon. 
Mistress John Laing—A beauty in clear, bright, shin¬ 
ing pink; each bud in its long, serrated calyx with adja¬ 
cent green foliage, forms a dainty and lovely bouton- 
nier; immense, full blooms on long, stiff stems; sweetly 
scented. 
Mistress Leonard Petrie—(A. Dickson. 1910.) Honey- 
yellow with delicate claret smear on back of outer petals,
