THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
Hybrid Tea Roses, Newer Varieties—Continued 
Mildred Grant. 
MADAME I*. EULER (Guillot, 1908)—We place this Rose 
among the newer varieties so that particular attention 
may be called to it. Out in California and the Pacific 
Coast this Hose is so well thought of that it has been 
rechristened “Prima Donna.” The color is a lovely 
shade of vermilion-pink, changing to silvery-pink; pet¬ 
als undulated or waved on the edges; in a class by it¬ 
self. We have every confidence in it as a sterling, variety 
with an individuality that was bound to command at¬ 
tention, and time is proving same not unfounded. Its 
size, fragrance, wonderful lasting qualities, freedom of 
growth and bloom with a distinotiveness from any other 
Rose could not help but win a commanding place. 
MADAME RAVARY (Pernet Ducher, 1889)—Not a new 
Rose, but not largely disseminated in this country. It 
is probable that more of this yellow Rose is planted in 
England, Ireland and the Continent than all other yel¬ 
lows combined. In growth and habit-it is much like 
Madame Caroline Testout, and will always command a 
good price, being difficult to propagate. Long pointed 
buds of beautiful golden-yellow, opening to large, full, 
orange-yellow flowers; very free-flowering. Superb. 
MAJESTIC (Paul & Son, 1914)—Fine carmine Rose; along 
and full bud opening to very large flowers; of strong, 
erect growth; an excellent Rose for bedding and for 
cutting. Gold medal, N. R. S. Mr. Roger Murphey, the 
eminent rosarian, says: “Majestic is the finest of all 
the new Roses I have seen for the years 1914 or 1915.” 
Better keep your eye on this Rose. 
MAMAN LYLY (Soupert & Notting, 1912)—Delicate rosy- 
llesh. Very large, splendid Malmaison form, freely and 
continuously produced. The best of all rosy-fiesh Roses. 
MARGUERITE MONTAVON (Soupert & Notting, 1913) — 
Very large, of perfect form and of superb substance. 
Color a bright China Hose. On account of its extreme 
freedom of blooming this new Rose will take the lead as 
a commercial variety, and prove invaluable for exhibi¬ 
tion and bedding purposes. 
MARCELLA (Paul & Son, 1913)—Buds buff, opening up 
into a magnificent flower of salmon-flesh. Extra large, 
well filled and very handsome; of strong, erect growth, 
free and continuous blooming. Fine garden Rose. 
MARGIIERITA CROZE (Ketten Bros., 1914)—Carmine 
changing to rose, with deep rose-pink shading at the base 
of the petals; large, full, opening well; sweet-scented; 
buds elongated; flower large, elegant; very free bloomer. 
MARIE ADELAIDE, GRAND DUCHESS OF LUXEM¬ 
BOURG .(Soupert & Notting, 1913)—Flowers of marvel¬ 
ously constant deep orange-yellow color. Elegant form, 
borne on erect stems, deliciously perfumed. A most superb 
Rose. Awarded gold medal at Nancy, 1912. Extra fine. 
MARQUIS DE SINETY (Pernet Ducher, 1906)—Not a new 
Rose, but one that will never be plentiful for the reason 
that it is very difficult to propagate, but is a vigorous 
grower after once being rooted. Color golden-yellow, 
shaded bronzy-red. Large, full, very fine. A great fa¬ 
vorite on the Pacific Coast. 
MEVROUW DORA VAN TETS (Leenders, 1912)—A chaste 
Rose of great beauty. The habit of growth is perfection, 
every shoot producing a bloom, a veritable pearl for 
garden decoration. The color is a deep, glowing crimson; 
a flower you want to linger with and which you visit 
again and again. This is another most valuable garden 
Rose sent out by that painstaking Dutchman, M. Leen¬ 
ders of Steil-Tegelan, who has already enriched for all 
time our gardens with the grand varieties, “Jonkheer 
J. L. Mock,” “Gartendirector Hartrath,” and “General 
Superior Arnold Janssen.” Your friends will make no 
mistake in planting this Rose. 
MI-LADY (Pierson, 1913)—A cross between “Richmond” 
and “J. B. Clark.” Color is similar to “Richmond.” 
Large, full, well-formed flowers carried on stiff, erect 
stems. Very fragrant and a fine keeper. Has jumped 
into popularity as a forcing Rose, but is, we think, more 
suited as a garden Rose. 
MILDRED GRANT (Alex. Dickson, 1901) — Ivory-white, 
with an occasional flush of pale peach. High pointed 
center, with unusually large and massive petals, opening 
to perfectly formed flowers of enormous size and sub¬ 
stance. Awarded the gold medal of N. R. S. We are the 
only firm in the United States offering this Rose on its 
own roots in young plants. It is a grand Rose. 
MONSIEUR R. ARNAUD (Perdriolle, 1912)—Deep pink, 
shaded yellow and crab-red; very free-flowering and ex¬ 
quisitely perfumed. A glorious Rose. 
MRS. AMBROSE RICARDO (McGredy, 1914)—Deep honey- 
yellow, overlaid brighter yellow; of great size and sub¬ 
stance; amongst yellow Roses this is the largest yet 
raised. It is quite distinct from anything else grown, 
and a Rose destined to take a leading place among 
Hybrid Teas on account of its grand size and form, 
unique coloring and freedom of flowering. A really 
magnificent Rose; fragrant. Silver gilt medal, N. R. S. 
MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE (Cocker, 1913)—Sent out by 
James Cocker & Sons, of Aberdeen, Scotland. This Rose 
is an epoch-making flower, as an old Kentish grower 
put it, “a nailer.” At the stand where Mrs. Andrew 
Carnegie was shown there was a big crowd around it all 
the time the show was open. Queen Alexandra admired 
it as she passed through the show in the morning before 
the great rush of the afternoon. One enthusiast describes 
it as having “lit up the whole show.” With its hand¬ 
some shape and delicious fragrance it combines a color 
that entrances. Pale lemon-yellow at base of the petals, 
shading to pure white. Won the gold medal N. R. S. 
MRS. CHARLES E. PEARSON (McGredy, 1913)—A glo¬ 
rious orange-yellow, flushed and tinted with red, apri¬ 
cot and fawn, sweetly-scented; a glorious Rose. Gold 
medal National Rose Society. 
MRS. CHARLES HUNTER (W. Paul, 1912) — A strong, 
vigorous grower, with rosy-crimson flowers, changing to 
a pleasing rose as they fully expand. A very bold flower, 
with large, handsome petals, produced on strong, up¬ 
right stalks. 
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (Montgomery, 1912)—This 
wonderful new American Rose has taken the country by 
storm. No other forcing Rose except “American Beauty” 
can compete with it when it comes to counting points. 
Stems three feet long, stiff and surmounted by grand 
rosy-pink blooms of the largest size and build. Keep 
your eye on this Rose. 
MRS. FRANK BRAY (Alex. Dickson, 1912)—This is 
claimed to be a great advance on the lovely and justly 
esteemed “Mme. Ravary,” which until now has been the 
best of its color amongst the decorative or garden vari¬ 
eties. “Mrs. Frank Bray” during its several years’ trial 
preceding its introduction, has proven immensely super¬ 
ior to its prototype, not only in vigorous growth, but 
also in color, which is a deep, rich, coppery ecru, devel¬ 
oping as the flower opens to a very delicate coppery- 
fawn, with a shading of ivory shell-pink. 
MRS. E. ALFORD (Lowe & Sliawyer, 1913)—Color si 1 very - 
pink, large, full flowers carried erect; strong grower 
and very free flowering. 
MRS. FRANKLIN DENNISON (McGredy, 1915)—Very 
large, full, well formed flowers. Color porcelain-white, 
veined primrose-yellow, deepening to ochre at the base 
of the petals. Strong, vigorous grower, producing its 
immense flowers in the greatest profusion. 
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (McGredy, 1913) — 
Color, deep orange-red, shaded bronzy apricot-red, quite 
distinct from other Roses in cultivation. A marvelously 
attractive variety. The flower is absolutely perfect in 
shape and form, with petals of wonderful depth and 
substance, blooming freely throughout the entire sea¬ 
son; fine garden Rose. This Rose is regarded by the 
Rev. Joseph Pemberton as the finest and most useful 
decorative Rose of the year. When known, this Rose is 
bound to take the very first place among Roses. Very 
fragrant. Gold medal, N. R. S.
