Hybrid Tea Roses, Standard Varieties— Continued 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA (Lambert A Reiter. 1891.) — 
Pure white, with shadings of primrose-yellow, deeper in the 
center; a distinct and very beautiful variety. 
KILLARNEY (Alex. Dickson. 1898.) — The finest pink forcing 
Rose ever introduced. In coloring it is especially beautiful, 
being an exquisite shade of deep seashell-pink. The buds 
and flowers are of enormous size, the petals 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 predict 
will become very popular as a garden Rose. In fact wher¬ 
ever tried it has won friends. The petals are shell shaped, 
forming a perfect flower. The color on outside of petals is 
a deep coral-rose; inside, delicate flesh, often flushed and 
suffused with bright pink; remarkably attractive. Without 
doubt a magnificent Rose. Awarded gold medal. 
LADY ASHTOWN (Alex. Dickson, 1905.)—Deep rose, shading 
to silvery-pink, with touches of yellow at base of the petals; 
large, full and fine form, free and constant, A grand gar¬ 
den Rose, much prized in England. 
LADY BATTERSEA (\Y. Paul, 1901.)—The Red Kaiserin. In 
the English gardens this Rose is very popular, its novelty 
and charm lying in its unusual coloring and its long, grace¬ 
ful buds; called appropriately the Red Kaiserin. The buds 
are full and pointed and of a beautiful cherry-crimson, per¬ 
meated with an orange shade. We recommend this as one 
of the easiest and best. 
LADY HELEN VINCENT (Alex. Dickson, 1907.)—Delicate 
shell-pink; reflex of petals blush; base of petals veined and 
suffused peach, with a distinct yellow zone. Large, full and

ful shade of flesh-pink, of great substance and good form; 
petals large, circular and delicately perfumed. A grand 
grower, producing its round, full blooms in wonderful pro¬ 
fusion. 
LA FRANCE (Guillot, 1807.)—The Queen of all the Roses. 
Beautiful bright silvery-pink with pale lilac shadings, over 
the entire flower a satiny sheen. Large, full and flue form; 
one of the sweetest-scented Roses. Most free blooming.

white and yellow; large and full; very free flowering. A 
good bedding variety, shown in everv exhibition in England. 
LAURENT CARLE (Pernet Ducher, 1907.)—An extremely vig¬ 
orous grower, with fine erect branching habit and fine dark- 
green foliage; long buds are borne on long stems, opening 
into large flowers of perfect form, just full enough to open 
freely; color brilliant velvety carmine. A very promising 
variety; another Rose it will certainly pay you to try. We 
know it has a future.

with golden-yellow buds, of cupped form, opening to large 
flowers; very free. 
MADAME ABEL CH ATEN AY (Pernet Ducher. 1895.)—Car¬ 
mine-rose, shaded deep salmon*, long pointed bud; forces 
well. 
MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT (Pernet Ducher, 1890.)—This 
charming Rose is in great demand, it is always scarce and 
always will be hard to get hold of, as it is slow in propa¬ 
gating. Clear bright satiny-pink; flowers very large and ex¬ 
tremely showy; quite distinct. We are the largest growers 
of Testout in the world, and never have enough to go around. 
It is the Rose par excellence in Oregon and the Pacific 
Coast; in fact, it does well everywhere.

distinct variety.

lovely combination of colors.

and upright; flower buds long and pointed. Color dark rose 
with yellow center, reverse of petals carmine; very florlfer- 
ous. Superb. 
MADAME MAURICE DE LUZE (Pernet Ducher, 1907.)—Deep

golden-yellow, free from all apricot tints. A most valuable 
addition to our very limited stock of really good yellow 
Roses. 
MADAME SCHWALLER (Origin unknown.)—Bright pink, de¬ 
lightful fragrance; pleases everybody who plants it. 
MADAME SEGOND WEBER (Soupert & Notting. 1908.)—One 
of the grandest novelties of recent years; everybody is talk¬ 
ing about it, and the more one knows of this wonderful Rose 
the more he will talk about it, and, what is of real value, 
every bit of talk about Mine. Segond Weber is in praise of 
her. Rosy-salmon or flesh-pink in color, of the general 
type and color of “My Maryland.” The bud is long and 
pointed, opening into enormous blooms which deepen its 
color until fully expanded, when it is as impressive as an 
“American Beauty.” The texture of the Rose is very thick 
and heavy and the form of the petals peculiarly beautiful. 
A great garden Rose: awarded two gold medals. 
MADAME VALERE BEAUMEZ (Schwartz. 1908.)—Cream, yel¬ 
low and orange are the colors in this queenly Rose. All the 
tints exquisitely beautiful, form very full and nicely round¬ 
ed; a strong grower. We feel sure that this Rose will rank 
in the dozen best bedders. “Standard” in all necessary qual¬ 
ities, “fancy” in its coloring.

— Grand flower, opens orange-yellow, changing to coppery- 
yellow. and then again changing to almost white. 
MAGNAFRANO (Conrad, 1902.) — This Rose is becoming popu¬ 
lar on account of its splendid crimson-scarlet color and mag¬ 
nificent buds. The flowers are large, very regular, full and 
double and deliciously sweet. 
MARGARET (W. Paul, 1909.)—A clear delicate tint of soft 
pink color. Long handsome buds developing into large, thick 
petaled flowers of good form and substance. Extra.

growth as Teplitz, flowering continuously; buds long and ele¬ 
gant, opening into lovely blooms of fine form and large 
petals; color bright deep cerise; reverse of petals shaded 
carmine; large and full. A decidedly free bedding Rose. 
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 Murphy, who has 
worked with 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 describe; of great size, with large, smooth, 
circular petals, deliciously scented. Simply grand. 
MAY KENYON SLANEY (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—A Rose of 
wonderful distinctness and charm, possessing a wondrously 
profuse and continuous flowering habit; the blooms are large 
and of wonderful finish; the color is a charming blush-pink 
on rich cream, the pink intensifying as the flower expands; 
delightfully tea scented. Valuable. 
METEOR (Geschwindt, 1887.)—Dark velvety-crimson, shaded 
maroon. A grand garden Rose. 
MISS CYNTHIA FORD (Hugh Dickson. 1909.)—This Rose 
possesses in a superlative degree the essential points of an 
ideal garden Rose, viz., size, form, brightness, vigor and 
habit. In color it is a deep brilliant rose-pink, very large, 
perfectly formed and very full. It is sweetly perfumed and 
lasts a long time in good condition. Gold medal, N. It. S. 
MRS. AARON WARD (Pernet Ducher, 1907.) —This Rose is 
a real joy to the grower and absolutely distinct. One of the 
most delightful Roses of recent years in a color that catches 
the eye at once. Coppery-orange in the open bud, golden- 
orange when partly developed, pinkish-fawn of lovely shade 
when fully open, when it looks like a full fluffy-silk rosette. 
Color effect of the whole flower is Indian-yellow. No won¬ 
der everybody who sees it falls in love with it; one of the 
most beautiful Roses in existence. 
MRS. ALFRED TATE (McGredy, 1910.)—The color of this 
Rose is perfectly fascinating and the form of bloom so dis¬ 
tinctly perfect and exquisite in shape; the color is coppery- 
red, shaded fawn, with a distinct ochre-yellow shading at 
base of the petals. Fine for bedding or massing. Awarded 
gold medal, Bagatelle (Paris), 1910. Award of merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society, London, October, 1908.

shade of bright rosy-pink, shading in the outer petals to 
salmon-pink; large, perfect form; very highly perfumed. A 
grand Rose in every way. Superb. Unquestionably the finest 
all-around general purpose Rose. 
MRS. FRED STRAKER (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—It would be 
difficult, if not impossible, to either speak or write in too 
eulogistic terms of this unique creation. The blooms are 
produced in most extraordinary profusion throughout the 
entire season. The color in the young flower is orange- 
crimson. As the bloom develops it becomes silvery-fawn on 
front of petals, and delicate orange-pink on back; buds 
long, and with a perfectly spiral finish. 
MRS. GEORGE PRESTON (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—A most 
beautiful and thoroughly distinct Rose, flowering in the 
greatest profusion. The blooms are very large, full and of 
globular form; the color is a very delicate warm silvery 
rose-pink, a truly delightful color; sometimes in autumn It 
is lighted up with delicate orange. Very fragrant. 
MRS. ROBERT GARRETT (Cook, 1899.) -Beautiful shell-pink, 
large expanded flower. The size, brilliant color, free grow¬ 
ing and continuous blooming qualities of this Rose make it 
one desired by everybody. A gem,
