Mistress Charles Hunter—(W. Paul, 1912.) (H. T.) Rosy- 
crimson, changing to decidedly bold flowers of pleasing rose 
with large, handsome petals, produced on strong, upright canes. 
Vigorous and suitable for both forcing and garden cultivation. 
Mistress Charles Russell—(Montgomery, 1912.) (H. T.) 
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, equal In size and fragrance; superior 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 Cornwallis West—(A. Dickson, 1911.) (H. T.) Del¬ 
icate, transparent pink on purest white; smooth, shell-shaped, 
leathery petals exquisitely imbricated to form large, globular 
blooms of great substance, freely produced. Gold Medal, N. 
R. S. 
Mistress Degraw—(Burgess, 1875.) (B.) Bright coral-pink, 
flowering In clusters; prolific and hardy. 
Mistress Dudley Cross—(W. Paul, 1907.) (T.) Pale, soft 
rosy-yellow, with deeper shadings, delightful in color and of a 
beautifully rounded form, supported on good, erect stems. 
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 Klllarney; 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 salmon- 
pink on reflex of petals, against pearly flesh-white on the In¬ 
side which, as the flower develops, becomes delicate coppery- 
shrimp In the center, with creamy outer petals, shell-shaped 
and beautifully arranged. Deliciously fruit-perfumed blooms 
produced In marvelous profusion on erect stems. 
Mistress Henry Winnett--(Dunlop, 1918.) (H. T.) Rich 
crimson, not so dark as Iladloy, but of a brighter shade; long, 
woll-formed buds; easily handled and prolific; stems straight 
and strong. A seedling, Russell X Shawyer, reflecting honor 
upon its Canadian origin. 
Mrs. James Lynas—(H. Dickson, 1914.) (H. T.) Pearly- 
pink at base of petals, flushed delicate rosy-peach at edges 
and on reverse; flowers largo, 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.
