and persistent in bloom like “Mrs. George Shawyer," from 
which it sported. 
Mistress Fred Straker—(A Dickson, 1910.) (H. T.) 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 & Shawyer, 1911.) (H. T.) 
Brilliant rose-pink, or bright peach-pink, the nearest approach 
to Rose Queen in tone. Flowers large, well formed, fairly full, 
with petals of good substance. Freer in growth and bloom 
than Killarney; breaks in rapid succession, throwing up three 
to four 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 Gordon Sloane—(A. Dickson, 1912.) (H. T.) Deli¬ 
cate but decided sheeny electric copper on pure deep salipon- 
pink on reflex of petals, against pearly flesh-white on the In¬

shrimp in the center, with creamy outer petals, shell-shaped 
and beautifully arranged. Deliciously fruit-perfumed blooms 
produced in marvelous profusion on erect stems. 
Mrs. James Lynas—(H. Dickson, 1914.) (H. T.) Pearly- 
pink at base of petals, flushed delicate rosy-peacli at edges 
and on reverse; flowers large, full, beautifully formed, pro¬ 
duced freely and continuously. Gold Medal, N. R. S. 
Mistress John Laing—(Bennett, 1887.) (H. P.) A beauty 
in clear, bright, shining pink; each bud In its long, serrated 
calyx with adjacent green foliage, forms a dainty and lovely 
boutonniere; Immense, full blooms on long, stiff stems; sweetly 
scented. 
Mistress Moorfleld Storey—(Waban, 1915.) (H. T.) Shell- 
pink, deepening toward center and tipped deep rose; flowers of 
good size and substance, open well, freely produced; handsome, 
large foliage resists both mildew and black spot; strong up¬ 
right growth of smooth wood. Of “Russell" typo, yot distinct.

liant, glistening salmon-pink; largo. Arm and smooth potals of

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, except in its strong climbing habit.

chrome-yellow without suffusion or shading, large and full, of 
elongated cup shap^; very free and perpetual; a vigorous
