Hybrid Tea Roses, Newer Varieties—Continued 
MRS. T. HILLAS (Pemet Ducher, 
1913.) — Flower large and full, of 
elongated cup shape. Color deep 
chrome-yellow, very bright and ef¬ 
fective. A fine Rose of hardy con¬ 
stitution. 
MRS. WALTER E. MARTIN (Rey- 
mond, 1913.)—A most beautiful 
flower of clear bright pink, reverse 
of petals rosy or blush-white; 
large, double, cupped shape. A 
very fresh color. 
NATALIE BOTTNER (Bottner, 1911.) 
Color, delicate cream-yellow; a 
flower of wonderful finish in the 
way of “Katserinvery vigorous, 
but nevertheless most floriferous. 
It combines the prominent quali¬ 
ties of the two celebrated Roses, 
“Druschki” and “Kaiserin." This 
novelty is much superior to them. 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912.)—This 
Rose was given an award of merit 
from the Royal Horticultural So¬ 
ciety of England. Why they did 
not give it a gold medal is beyond 
our ken. An enormously large, full 
flower, of fine shape, making a 
magnificent effect in the garden. 
Growth vigorous. This is a great 
Rose. 
OLD GOLD (McGredy, 1913.)—Vivid 
reddish-orange with rich coppery- 
red and apricot shadings; a con¬ 
tinuous free bloomer, mildew proof. 
Very sweetly fragrant. Gold medal 
N R S 
OPHELIA' (W. Paul, 1912.)—When 
Ophelia was sent out on its message 
of Rose beauty to entrance the 
world, there was placed a tablet in 
the hall of Rose fame to Win. Paul 
& Son that will grow brighter as 
the flight of time goes on. Its 
lustre will never tarnish or grow 
dim. A more enduring memorial 
than anything else in the world 
can give. Think what joy and 
happiness, yea, peace, this Rose will produce as the ages go 
by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their descrip¬ 
tion, which we give verbatim: “Salmon-flesh, shaded with 
rose; large, and of perfect shape: of excellent habit, the 
flowers standing up well on long stiff stems and produced in 
great profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine decorative 
variety. Growth vigorous/* Certainly a glorious Rose. Be 
sure to have “Ophelia'* fixed in your memory. 
OTHELLO (Paul & Son, 1912.)—Deep blackish-crimson, with 
pronounced maroon shades; distinctive coloring; large, well 
formed flowers. 
PRESIDENT VIGNET (Pernet Ducher, 1911.)—Flower large, 
full and globular; on long stem. Color, deep carmine-red, 
shaded bright poppy-red. A charming garden Rose. 
PRIMEROSE (Soupert & Notting, 1913.)—Melon-yellow dur¬ 
ing spring and summer, deeper in autumn, with apricot shad¬ 
ings, a most distinct coloring ; large, double, of perfect form, 
with long pointed buds; deliciously fragrant. Magnificent 
bedding Rose. Unsurpassed. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERP (Soupert & 
Notting, 1910.)—Without doubt the most promising red forc¬ 
ing Rose in sight, a grand Rose of vigorous growth and 
freedom of bloom unapproached in any other variety; buds 
perfectly formed, developing into a perfect open flower of 
ideal form ; no deformed buds. The color is a clear and 
lively red without tone of purple that kills all the other red 
forcers. The color is most pleasing and under artificial light 
wonderfully brilliant. Growers will make no mistake in 
planting this Rose heavily. 
QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A uniquely beautiful 
Rose which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and ever 
holds them in its lovely sway. Its pure rich colorings, 
which are zoned deep, bright canary-yellow, on plenteous 
well-shaped petals which are crayoned with pure deep car¬ 
mine. This extra touch of color gives a gloriously warm 
effect as the yellow and carmine do not commingle, the petals 
are arranged in tip-tilted globular formation. It is most 
floriferous and fragrantly primrose-tea perfumed. Awarded 
silver cup Festival of the Empire, Crystal Palace, London, 
and silver gilt medal N. R. S. 
ROBERT HUEY (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—Messrs. Dickson sub¬ 
mitted a number of their promising seedlings for trial to 
Dr. Robert Huey, one of Philadelphia's most enthusiastic 
and best-posted amateur Rose growers, from which he se¬ 
lected this variety to name after his son. The description fol¬ 
lowing is by Dr. Huey : “A strong, vigorous grower, giving ex¬ 
tra fine stems for cutting ; color bright carmine shaded deeper 
on the outer petals; flowers large, full and of good substance; 
buds pointed; the largest and finest of the red-colored Hy¬ 
brid Teas; should have a rich, deep soil and good feeding/’ 
Prince Englebert Charles de Arenberg . 
RENA ROBBINS (Hill, 1911.)—This is a grand garden Rose. 
Strong grower, producing its enormous flowers in the great¬ 
est profusion. Comes a bright yellow, changing to a pure 
white, with golden-yellow heart. Flowers of grand form and 
a mass of bloom throughout the summer until frost. Why 
the trade fights shy of this Rose is beyond our ken. Try 
it and you will become wedded to it. No prettier or better 
Rose in this list. 
ROBIN HOOD (Hill, 1911.)—This new Rose has a glorious 
scarlet color that is at once soft and bright and lasting; 
the bloom is full and of the beautiful build of the H. P.’s. 
It is a grand grower, heavy caned and profuse in foliage. 
Flowers very freely produced. We feel sure this will prove a 
delightful companion for General McArthur and Rhea Reid. 
Robin Hood captured the first prize at the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society's June Flower Show for best red Rose.

Rose.

ing growth, flowering freely and continuously on long up¬ 
right stems. Flowers of medium to large size, of line form
