CHAMPION CITY GREENHOUSES, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES, Standard Varieties—Continued 
ETOILE DE FRANCE (Pernet Ducher, 1905.)—The gold medal 
Rose of France, and claimed by the raiser, J. Pernet Ducher, 
of Lyons, France, to be the finest Rose he has ever sent out. 
We believe, with him, that it has no superior. The flowers 
are very large and borne on good, long, stiff stems; color a 
lovely shade of clear, red-crimson velvet; very fragrant and 
keeps well. In England, where it has been tried extensively 
during the past season, it has caused quite a sensation. Our 
opinion is that it will become as much of a favorite as La 
France. Keep your eye on this variety, as it is a stayer and 
altogether a grand variety. It is a good grower, a free 
bloomer, fine rich color, deliciously fragrant. What more 
can be said of a Rose? 
FLORENCE PEMBERTON (Alex. Dickson, 1903.)—Creamy- 
white suffused pink; large, full, perfect in form with very 
high pointed center; very fine. Gold medal, X. R. S. 
FRAU LILLA RAUTENSTRAUCH (Lambert. 1903.)—Creamy- 
yellow, flushed peach-pink; large and double; free and fine. 
FRAU ROSE BENARY (Lambert, 1908.)—Color rose-lake, suf¬ 
fused with salmon-rose, deepening to cardinal-red as the 
flower expands with mauve-rose center. Large, sweetly 
scented, vigorous and free. 
GENERAL MacARTHUR (Hill, 1905.)—A red Rose that is al¬ 
ready a fixture in many gardens, particularly does it do well 
on the Pacific Coast. The shape is fine; color brilliant scar¬ 
let; the only red Rose we know of that will give General 
MacArthur a chase is Olivia. Be sure and try General Mac- 
Arthur. It has certainly shown up well with us the past 
two seasons. We advise trying this Rose. 
GLADYS HARKNESS (Alex. Dickson, 1900.)—Deep salmon- 
pink ; large and highly fragrant. A fine garden Rose. 
GOLD ELSE (Hinner, 1902.)—Pale yellow with deeper yellow 
center; free flowering; sweetly perfumed. 
GROSSHERZOGIN ALEXANDRA (Jacobs Welter, 1906.)—A 
new canary-yellow Rose of great promise. Very large, per¬ 
fect cupped form. We have had many words of praise for 
this Rose from a wide range of latitude. 
H. ARMATYGE MOORE (Hugh Dickson, 1907.)—Color a de¬ 
lightful shade of rosy-pink on the outside of the petals; in¬ 
side petals a delicate silvery-pink. This is a garden Rose 
par excellence; free bloomer and vigorous grower. As a 
bedding Rose, unsurpassed. 
HECTOR MACKENZIE (Guillot, 1908.)—Deep pink, changing 
to silvery-crimson. Flowers large and full, of perfect globu¬ 
lar form, both free and fragrant, strong and vigorous, and 
very free branching. 
HELEN GOULD, OR BALDWIN (Lambert, 1898.)—This is a 
grand Rose of the very highest merit for the garden ; bright 
watermelon-red; very free grower and bloomer. A good all- 
around red Rose. 
INSTITUTEUR SIRDAY (Pernet Ducher, 1906.)—Rich deep 
golden-yellow. Large, full and of imbricated form. 
JOHANNES WESSELHOFT (Welter, 1899.)—The color is a 
clear, lustrous yellow, varying somewhat in richness and 
depth, according to the season of the year; similar in growth 
to Kaiserin August^ Victoria; upright and symmetrical, 
throwing long flower shoots amply able to support the flowers 
without drooping; a most persistent bloomer. 
JOSEPH HILL (Pernet Ducher, 1904.)—Salmon-pink, shaded 
with yellow. Outer petals tinted coppery-pink; long bud. 
Very large, full flowers. A superb variety. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA (Lambert & 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 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 (W. 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 
of exquisite form; buds long pointed. Very fragrant. A 
superb Rose. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. 
LADY QUARTUS EWART (Hugh Dickson, 1905.)—This is a 
pure paper-white garden Rose; large, full and opening well 
in all weathers. It is very free-blooming and has extraor¬ 
dinary lasting properties, keeping in good condition for sev¬ 
eral days when fully expanded, either cut or on the plant. 
An ideal garden Rose. 
LADY URSULA (Alex. Dickson, 1908.)—Color a most beauti¬ 
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, 1867.)—The Queen of all the Roses. 
Beautiful bright silvery-pink with pale lilac shadings, over 
the entire‘flower a satiny sheen. Large, full and fine form; 
one of the sweetest-scented Roses. Most free blooming. 
LA TOSCA (Schwartz, 1900.)—Stiff pink, tinted with rosy- 
white and yellow; large and full; very free flowering. A 
good bedding variety, shown in every 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. 
LE PROG RES (Pernet Ducher, 1904.)—Color nankeen-yellow, 
with golden-yellow buds, of cupped form, opening to large 
flowers; very free. 
MADAME ABEL CHATENAY (Pernet Ducher, 1895.)—Car¬ 
mine-rose, shaded deep salmon; long pointed bud; forces 
well. 
MADAME ALICE KAPKE-DEMOY (Soupert & Notting, 1908. 
—This is claimed by the introducers to be “a grand and ab¬ 
solutely novel variety." Creamy-white suffused rose, with 
light yellow shadings. 
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. 
MADAME JENNY GILLEMOT (Pernet Ducher, 1905.)—Buds 
long and pointed, deep saffron-yellow, opening canary, with 
dark golden shadings; blooms large, petals immense; opens 
very freely; a fine upright grower of branching habit; ex¬ 
quisitely beautiful; very large in size. 
MADAME JULES GROLEZ (Guillot, 1897.)—Clear deep rose, 
shaded yellow at the base; long pointed bud opening to large 
well-formed flowers; very free flowering; an attractive and 
distinct variety. 
MADAME LEON PAIN (Guillot, 1904.)—A most wonderfully 
beautiful Rose. Perfect in outline and form. Salmon-pink, 
overlaid with silvery-white, center yellow and orange; a 
lovely combination of colors. 
MADAME MAURICE DE LUZE (Pernet Ducher, 1907.)—Deep 
rose-pink with cochineal-carmine center; very large cup¬ 
shaped flowers carried erect. Extra fine. 
MADAME MELANIE SOUPERT (Pernet Ducher, 1906.) — 
Flowers very large with bold cupped petals, almost full and 
globular. Color golden-yellow, center orange-yellow, the 
whole flower suffused delicate pink. Superbly grand. 
MADAME PERNET DUCHER (Pernet Ducher, 1891.)—A good 
yellow Rose that has been revived under the name of Yellow 
President Carnot. The color is a solid, perfectly clear waxy 
golden-yellow, free from all apricot tints. A most valuable 
addition to our very limited stock of really good yellow Roses. 
MADAME PHILIP R1VOIRE (Pernet Ducher, 1905.)—Apricot- 
yellow with lighter center; large semi-double flowers. Well 
formed. 
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 
talking 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 Mme. 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, 
yellow and orange are the colors in this queenly Rose. All 
the tints exquisitely beautiful, form very full and nicely 
rounded; a strong grower. We feel sure that this Rose will 
rank in the dozen best bedders. "Standard" in all necessary 
qualities, "fancy" in its coloring. 
MADEMOISELLE HELENE GAMBIER (Pernet Ducher, 1893.) 
—Grand flower, opens orange-yellow, changing to coppery- 
yellow, and then again changing to almost white. A most 
beautiful Rose. 
MADEMOISELLE SIMONE BEAUMEZ (Pernet Ducher, 1907.) 
—Strong grower, with long stems; very large flowers of 
splendid form. Color rosy-white, center of creamy-yellow, 
tinted salmon. 
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.
