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 bettor 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—iLowe & Shawyer, 1911.) (H. T.) 
Brilliant rose-pink, or bright peach-pink, tho nearest approach 
to Robo Quoen in tono. Flowers large, well formed, fairly full, 
with potals of good substance. Freer in growth and bloom 
than Killarnoy; 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 now forcers, from tho raisers of Lady nilllngdon. 
Mistress Henry Winnett—(Dunlop, 1918.) (H. T.) Rich 
crimson, not so dark as Hadley, but of a brighter shade; long, 
well-formed buds; easily handled and prolific; stems straight 
and strong. A seedling, Russell X Shawyer, reflecting honor 
upon its Cnnudlan origin. 
Mrs. James Lynas—(H. Dickson, 1914.) (H. T.) Pearly- 
pink at baso of petals, flushed delicate rosy-poacli at edges 
and on reverse; flowers largo, full, beautifully formed, pro¬ 
duced freely and continuously. Gold Medal, N. R. S. 
Mistross John Cook—(Cook, 1920.) (If. T.) Almost white 
during long sunshine, with a flush of delicate pink in cool 
woather; nlcoly formed buds open to cup-slmpcd flowers and 
expand to largo, flnoly formed blooms; strong growing and 
very prolific. A much-welcomed new cut-flower-forcing Rose 
of Ophelia parentage. 
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.
