Hybrid Tea Roses, Newer Varieties—Continued 
MBS. FORDE (Alex. Dickson, 1913)—A magnificent and 
exquisite Rose, whose large blooms, on erect flower 
stalks, are of perfect form and finish, with daintiest col¬ 
orings, which are certainly unique among Roses, being 
stained or flushed purest deep carmine-rose on delicate 
rose-pink, with a zone of clear chrome-yellow at the 
base of each petal; refreshingly fragrant, being delight¬ 
fully and distinctly tangerine-rose perfume. Awarded 
gold medal. N. R. S. 
MBS. MOORETTELD STOREY (Waban Rose Conservato¬ 
ries, 1915)—Has a strong, upright growth, the wood be¬ 
ing stout and smooth, with large, handsome foliage, prac¬ 
tically proof against mildew and black spot. The flow¬ 
ers are freely produced, of good size and substance, 
opening readily. Color, shell-pink, deepening towards 
the center and tipped deep rose; of the same, general 
type as Mrs. Charles Russell, while absolutely distinct. 
MBS. MUIK M.'VCKEAN (McGredy, 1912)—This is a Rose 
of very special merit. In all the range of colors among 
Hybrid Teas, it stands unique and quite distinct; bright 
carmine-crimson, without shading. A grand, bold, well- 
built flower, perfect in shape and form; of the most 
modern type. Extra perpetual flowering. Everything 
about this Rose is pleasing and attractive; fragrant. 
RfRS. RICHARD DRAPER (Hugh Dickson. 1912)—Bright 
satiny-pink on the outside of the petals, inside delicate 
sllvery-flesh; large, full, beautifully formed flowers, 
produced in great profusion. A grand Rose. 
MRS. SAM ROSS (Hugh Dickson. 1912)—Very large, fulf 
flowers. Petals large, smooth, shell-shaped and slightly 
cupped, beautifully reflexed at the edges. A flower of 
the largest size and great refinement. A novel and un¬ 
common shade of color. At once distinct and pleasing, 
but difficult to describe. It may be said to shade from 
pale straw color to light chamois-yellow, with a distinct 
flush of buff on the reverse of the petals. Very sweetly 
scented. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose 
Society, Regent’s Park, London, July 7, 1911. 
MRS. T. HILLAS (Pernet Ducher, 1913)—Flower large 
and full, of elongated cup shape. Color deep ohrome- 
yellow, very bright and effective. A fine Rose of hardy 
constitution. Mr. Roger Murphey, the rosarian, says: 
’ Tell all your customers to pay their re.spects to this 
charming Rose. All Rose growers know that Pernet Du¬ 
cher rarely sends out a Rose that is unworthy to grow.” 
MRS. WALTER E. MARTIN (Reymond, 1913)—A mo.st 
beautiful flower of clear bright pink, reverse of petals 
rosy or blush-white; large, double, cupped shape. A 
very fresh color. 
NATIONAL EMBLEM (McGredy. 1916)—Dark crimson, of 
perfect shape, habit and inflorescence; as a bedding, 
massing and cutting Rose It is unique. Buds long and 
pointed, opening to large, full, handsome flowers of 
great beauty, flowering freely and continuously. 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912)—This Rose was given an award 
of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng¬ 
land. Why they did not giv© it a gold medal is beyond 
our ken. An enormously large, full flower, of fine shape, 
making a magnificent effect in the garden. Growth vig¬ 
orous. This is a great Rose. 
OLD GOLD (McGredy, 1913)—This is undoubtedly the 
most beautiful bedding Rose in existence, and the most 
glorious color that has ever been seen In any Rose; the 
tint is a vivid reddish-orange with rich coppery-red 
and coppery-apricot shadings. The finest novelty yet 
raised and beautiful beyond description. Awarded the 
gold medal of the National Rose Society. 
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 
Wm. 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 description, 
which w© give verbatim: "Salmon-flesh, shaded with 
ro.se; large, and of perfect shape; of excellent habit, the 
flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems and pro¬ 
duced in great profusion. ETxcellent 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. 
PRIMROSE (Soupert & Notting, 1913)—Melon-yellow 
during spring and summer, deeper In autumn, with apri¬ 
cot shadings, a most distinct coloring; large, double, of 
perfect form, with long pointed buds; deliciously fra¬ 
grant. Magnificent bedding Rose. Unsurpassed. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (Sou- 
pert Notting, 1910)—Without doubt the most promis¬ 
ing red forcing Rose In sight, a grand Rose of vigorous 
growth and freedom of bloom unapproached In any other 
variety; buds perfectly formed, developing into a per¬ 
fect 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. 
PRINCESS MARIE SCHERBATOFF (Soupert & Notting. 
1914)—Buff-yellow, with gleaming center; large, of per¬ 
fect form, with regular petals, carried on long, upright 
stems; very free flowering; an invaluable Rose for all 
purposes. 
QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913)—Deep bright ca¬ 
nary yellow, on shell shaped petals, which are crayoned 
with pure deep carmine. The crayoning gives a glorious 
warm coloring as the yellow and carmine do not com¬ 
mingle. It is most florlferous and fragrantly Primrose- 
Tea perfumed. Altogether the decorative Rose of today, 
as it will very rapidly establish Its popularity. Awarded 
silver cup for the best .seedling Rose, Festival of the 
Empire, Crystal Palace, London. Also silver gilt medal, 
N. R. S. 
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 Mao- 
Arthur and Rhea Reid. Robin Hood captured the first 
prize at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society's June 
Flower Show for best red Rose. 
SAINT HELENA (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1912)—A beautiful 
cream color flushed with pink and quite blush In the 
center, golden-yellow at ba.<?e of the petals. Flowers of 
good size and delightful fragrance. A decided acquisition 
as a garden Rose.

Rose with vigorous, free branching growth, flowering 
freely and continuously on long, upright stems. Flow¬ 
ers of medium to large size, of fine form and good sub¬ 
stance. Color clear primrose-yellow, paling with age to 
creamy-yellow. A splendid bedding Rose and altogether 
a grand variety.

stalks. Color saffron, shaded coppery-carmine. Growth

liant carmine-red; large buds, long and pointed, carried 
on rigid stems. Growth vigorous. 
SUNBURST (Pernet Ducher, 1912)—This magnificent giant 
yellow Rose Is a fine forcer; It stands head and shoul¬ 
ders above all others of Its color, and will rank with 
American Beauty and the Klllarncys In value and 
grandeur. It has long, pointed buds, which can be cut 
tight for market. The color Is orange-copper or golden- 
orange and golden-yellow; edge of petals lighter; all 
Intense shades, extremely brilliant In effect. Some call 
the color cadmium-yellow. It makes no difference what 
you call its color, it is the yellowest of all Roses In the 
ever-blooming class. Belongs in the class of big Roses; 
has created a sensation wherever shown. Yes, and 
something more must be said about this Rose. It puts 
all the yellows to sleep when It comes to bedding in the 
garden. The golden-yellow color stays right with the 
flower until It fully finishes. 
TITO HEKEKYAN (Soupert & Notting. 1912)—Rosy coral- 
red, shaded yellow. Center vivid coral-purple and deep 
carmine. A distinct new coloring. Very large flower of 
fine shape. 
\BRNA MACKAY (Alex. Dickson. 1912)—This Is a beau¬ 
tiful delicate Ivory-sulphur-buff, changing to bright 
lemon-yellow as the flower expands. The flowers are 
carried on erect stems and are borne in marvelous pro¬ 
fusion. Growth vigorous, free branching habit, every 
shoot being terminated by a sweetly perfumed flower. 
WHITE RHAWYER H. T. (Tatty, 1915)—This is a sport 
from that grand forcing Rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, 
and like its parent is a glorious forcer. Indeed, some 
growers claiming that it will supersede all the white 
forcing Hoses. ,Rnow white, of the largest size, and a 
good keeper. It is a good Garden Rose, being a strong, 
vigorous grower and free bloomer. Don’t forget White 
Shawyer when making up your planting list. 
WHITE TE8TOUT (Bide & Son. 1911)—This is Identical 
with Madame Caroline Testout, except that the color is 
pure white. A grand novelty.
