Hybrid Perpetual Roses— Newer Varieties—Continued 
KING GEORGE V (Hugh Dickson, 1912) — The color 
is quite unique amongst Hybrid Teas, being rich 
blackish-crimson, with deep velvety violet flush, 
a striking and brilliant color, not burning in the 
sun nor turning blue, as so many of our very 
dark Roses do. It is very free flowering and per¬ 
petual, and delights in a warm sun. The per¬ 
fume is strong and very pleasing. Awarded the 
gold medal of the Festival of Empire, Crystal 
Palace, London, June 29, 1911. With us this Rose 
is a pure Hybrid Perpetual. 
LUDWIG MOELLER (Lambert, 1915)—This is the 
wonderful Yellow Druschki. It has all the good 
qualities of Frau Karl Druschki. Vigorous grow¬ 
er, free bloomer, and has deep golden-yellow 
flowers. A great beauty. 
PINK FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI, or GEORGE AH¬ 
RENDS (Hinner, 1910)—This is the wonderful 
“Pink Druschki.” This Rose we predict will 
have as large a following and be as largely- 
planted in a very few years as the now famous 
“White Druschki.” We have looked it over in 
the field and grown it in pots for the market, and 
we absolutely cannot detect a single fault in it or 
about it. The growth and make-up of the plants 
is superb, while the delicate pink color is unap¬ 
proachable. Thank you, Mr. Hinner. You have 
enriched our Rose collection for all time. You 
know what some of you have missed by delaying 
so long in getting acquainted with “Frau Karl 
Druschki.” Do not repeat this mistake with 
“George Ahrends.”
