OPHELIA (H. T.). Salmon flesh, shaded 
rose, with chamois center. Buds and flow¬ 
ers beautifully formed and color enhanced 
by rich veining on the petals. Stems long, 
carrying flowers erect. Could hardly be 
praised too highly. 
QUEEN MARY. (A. Dickson, 1913.) Creamy 
ground, brilliantly penciled and flushed 
cerise, with an underlying shade of yel¬ 
low. Combination of colors is wonderful 
and almost impossible to describe. Buds 
are long and pointed, with an unusual 
spiral form and recurved tips. Open flow¬ 
ers are semi-double, loose and spreading, 
medium sized, fragrant and freely borne. 
RAYON d’OR. (Pernet-Ducher, 1910.) Clear, 
bright, intense yellow. Buds are coppery 
orange, slightly flushed carmine, but open 
flowers have a shade of yellow that is cer¬ 
tainly quite distinct from anything else. 
It is shown off to perfection in contrast 
with the remarkable foliage, which is a 
deep, rich bronze green, as glossy as if 
varnished. Flowers are fairly large, vfery 
double, fragrant and borne almost continu¬ 
ously. 
VERNA MAC KAY (H. T.). Fawn, suffused 
sulphur. Buds very beautifully formed. 
Fragrance unusually rich. 
WILLOWMERE (Pern.). Shrimp pink, 
shaded yellow and carmine. Somewhat like 
Lyon. 
NEW VARIETIES 
75 cents each; $6.00 per 10. 
BIANCA. (Paul, 1913.) Creamy white, 
tinted peach or sometimes carmine. Mod¬ 
erate size, buds short pointed, double. 
Fragrance faint. Growth and production 
very good. Stems long and flowers mainly 
come singly. 
EARL OF GOSFORD. (McGredy, 1912.) 
Dark crimson, heavily shaded. Growth 
vigorous. Very fragrant. One of the deep¬ 
est colored in this section. 
GEORGE ARENDS. (Hinner, 1910.) Deli¬ 
cate pink. A large, handsome rose of solid 
color and good form. Widely heralded as 
“Pink Frau Karl Druschki,” but does not 
look like a sport from that variety. Growth 
is so rampant that it could easily be trained 
up as a climber and maybe should be 
classed as such. 
GEO. DICKSON (H. T.). Deep scarlet, 
shaded velvety crimson. Color wonderfully 
rich, especially in spring. Flowers large 
and very full. Very fragrant. Growth ex¬ 
tremely vigorous, almost like a climber. 
Moderate bloomer. 
JULIET (Pern.). Outside of petals old gold, 
inside rich rosy red. Remarkably beau¬ 
tiful and striking in bud stage. 
MAD. EDOUARD HERRIOT or DAILY 
MAIL (Pern.). Superb coral red, shaded 
yellow at base, passing to shrimp red. 
Flowers semi-double and variable in size, 
sometimes very large. Coloring absolutely 
unique; different from any other rose ever 
introduced. The freest blooming rose we 
grow. Won the Gold Cup offered by “Daily 
Mail” for best new rose • and the Gold 
Medal of the National Rose Society of 
England. The greatest rose novelty ever 
introduced. 
NEW AND SCARCE VARIETIES 
35 cents each; $3.00 per 10. 
ANTOINE RIVOIRE (H. T.). Silvery flesh 
with salmon center. Outer petals reflexed. 
ARTHUR R. GOODWIN (Pern.). Apricot, 
flushed salmon. Petals numerous and nar¬ 
row. Very free bloomer. 
BEAUTE DE LYON (Pern.). Superb coral 
red, lightly shaded yellow. Buds globular; 
saucer-shaped when opened. Entirely 
unique. 
CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT (H. T.). 
Crimson center with fiery scarlet tips. Col¬ 
oring magnificent. Foliage very dark green. 
Free bloomer. 
♦CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. Cerise 
red. Flowers medium size, double and very 
fragrant. Vigorous climber. Has little re¬ 
semblance to American Beauty except in 
color. 
♦CLIMBING PINK COCHET (T.). An ex¬ 
tremely vigorous climbing form of the well- 
known Maman Cochet. Flowers are iden¬ 
tical in every respect. 
♦CLIMBING WHITE COCHET (T.). A 
strong climbing sport from the popular 
White Maman Cochet. Flowers identical 
and borne very freely. 
EDWARD MAWLEY (H. T.). Brilliant fiery 
red. Buds particularly fine and shaded vel¬ 
vety crimson. Free flowering. 
FLORENCE PEMBERTON (H. T.). Creamy 
white, suffused pink. Large, full and beau¬ 
tifully formed. 
GLOIRE DE CHEDANE GUINOISSEAU 
(H. P.). Bright vermilion red, shaded vel¬ 
vety crimson. Considered by many good 
judges superior to Ulrich Brunner. 
HARRY KIRK (T.). Creamy yellow with 
bright amber center. Large and fairly 
double. Fragrance exceptionally fine. Ex¬ 
ceedingly heavy bloomer. 
HIS MAJESTY (H. T.). Vermilion. Buds 
large and long. Fragrance like the H. P. 
class. 
IRISH ELEGANCE. Apricot, shaded orange 
and pink. 
JONKHEER J. L. MOCK. (Leenders, 1910.) 
Carmine and flesh pink. Has the wonder¬ 
ful two-toned petal effect shared by but 
two or three others. The inside of each 
petal is a soft, pearly blush, while the out¬ 
side is bright carmine rose. As the flower 
opens, the outer portion shows the former 
shade and the high center the latter. Each 
petal just as it starts to curve away from 
the center will show both tones in a way 
that is truly charming. Flowers are large, 
beautifully formed, very fragrant and 
borne on splendid, strong, stiff stems. Will 
rank among the best. 
LADY HILLINGDON (T.) Deep apricot 
yellow without shading. Color does not 
fade and it will deepen even after cutting. 
New wood and foliage deep violet. The 
finest yellow rose to date. 
LYON (Pern.). Shrimp pink with salmon 
center, shaded chrome yellow. Flowers 
often very large. 
MADAME LEON PAIN (H. T). Silvery 
pink, sometimes shaded salmon. Buds 
pointed; flowers large and cupped. Blooms 
freely.
