being frequently two and one-half inches deep. 
LA DETROIT (Hopp, 1905)—Shell-pink, shading to soft 
rose. A beauty. 
LADY ALICE STANLEY (McGredy, 1910)—This we pre¬ 
dict will become very popular as a garden Rose. In fact, 
wherever tried it has won friends. The petals are shell 
shaped, forming a perfect flower. The color on outside

flushed and suffused with bright pink; remarkably at¬ 
tractive. Without doubt a magnificent Rose. Awarded

slow in propagating. Clear bright satiny-pink; flowers 
very large and extremely showy: quite distinct. We are

MARY, COUNTESS OF ILCHESTER (Alex Dickson, 1909) 
In the opinion of many expert rosarians this must be 
classed as one of the finest novelties. Mr. Roger Mur¬ 
phy, w’ho has worked w'ith Roses for the past forty 
years, says: “This Rose has come to stay. After trying 
out all the novelties of the past five years, I place the 
Countess Mary first.” The color is unique and distinct, 
being a warm crimson-carmine, a shade difficult to de¬ 
scribe; of great size, with large, smooth, circular petals, 
deliciously scented. Simply grand. 
MELODY (A. Dickson, 1911)—A most charming and de¬ 
cidedly beautiful Rose, which attracted the attention of 
all visitors to our Rose gardens during the past summer 
because of its marvelous free-blooming qualities. The 
blooms are of good size; the color is an intense, pure, 
deep saffron-yellow, with primrose edges, a delightful 
color harmony. A Rose of the highest merits.
