NOVELTIES AND RECENT 
COUNTESS VANDAL. (M. Leenders, 1932.) 
Plant Patent No. 38. Its long, slender bud 
of coppery bronze, suffused with soft gold, 
opens very slowly. The finished blooms 
show a very unusual arrangement of petals, 
with a color combination of silvery salmon- 
pink and gold. We would refer to it as a 
de luxe edition of Edith Nellie Perkins, with 
which it is sometimes compared, although 
finer on many points. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 
Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, $1.25. See cut, 
page 27. 
CRIMSON GLORY. (W. Kordes Sons, 1934.) 
Plant Patent No. 105. Large, urn-shaped 
buds and very well-formed flowers of an in¬ 
tense deep vivid shade of ox-blood-red and 
mellowed with a soft velvety nap. The plant 
shows very vigorous constitution through¬ 
out the season, and we are ready to class it 
as the very best new Rose seen throughout 
the East during the 1936-37 season and un¬ 
questionably the best dark red Rose intro¬ 
duced in years. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra 
Grade, $1.50. See cut, page 7. 
INTRODUCTIONS, continued 
CYNTHIA. (Verschuren-Pechtold, 1934.) Rich, 
glowing Oriental red or brilliant carmine in 
all stages of development. Exceptionally 
well-formed buds and open blooms on stiff 
stems make it an outstanding cut-flower 
variety. Similar in color to the well-known 
Charles P. Kilham, but with better plant 
habit and easier growth. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; 
Extra Grade, $1.25. See cut, page 7. 
DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. (P. Dot, 
1931.) Copper-apricot. This fine Spanish 
Rose really produces two differently colored 
blooms during the season. The early sum¬ 
mer flowers open to a blending of apricot, 
orange, dark pink, and copper. Then in 
autumn we get the rare cinnamon-peach 
color, difficult to describe in words, but cer¬ 
tainly one of the most pleasing and distinct 
colors yet found in autumn Roses. Sweetly 
perfumed. Very vigorous, erect, and free- 
blooming. No. 1 Grade, $1.00; Extra Grade, 
$1.25. 
ECLIPSE. (J. H. Nicolas, 1935.) Plant Patent 
No. 172. Its long, stream-lined bud, en¬ 
hanced by ornamental sepals, is rich golden 
yellow without shading. The petals are 
large and of good substance, but not numer¬ 
ous, averaging 20 to 25, with more in the 
autumn. Beginning last year in Rome and 
Paris, this exquisite new Rose has been con¬ 
sistently winning major prizes at all impor¬ 
tant exhibitions and trials. It is hardy and 
grows vigorously in all climates. No. 1 
Grade, $1.50; Extra Grade, $1.75. See cut. 
3LOAMING. (J. H. Nicolas, 1935.) Plant 
Patent No. 137. The color is a soft satiny 
pink heavily laden with salmon and amber. 
Delightful fragrance. A cut-flower variety, 
and also of great value to the garden. The 
large buds are carried on long, rigid stems, 
amply clothed with handsome foliage. Plant 
is vigorous and branching, fairly tall-grow¬ 
ing. The bloom is large and full, well 
formed, and long-lasting, either in water 
or on the plant. Everyone who sees or 
grows this new Rose is favorably im¬ 
pressed. No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, 
$1.50. See cut, page 7. 
HINRICH GAEDE. (W. Kordes Sons, 1931.) 
The finest long-pointed buds are nasturtium- 
red and open to full-petaled blooms colored 
orange-yellow, flashed with nasturtium-red. 
This striking and pleasing blending of colors 
has never been equaled in any Rose. Good, 
strong-stemmed blooms for cutting are 
borne freely on vigorous and healthy plants 
with beautiful foliage. Fruity fragrance. 
No. 1 Grade, $1.25; Extra Grade, $1.50.
