NEWER VARIETIES—Continued 
Killarney Brilliant. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES, 
JONKHEER J. L. MOCK (Leenders, 1910.)—This grand Rose 
is the strongest growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The 
blooms, which are produced with the greatest freedom, 
are carried on stiff and erect stems, and are of the 
largest size, of perfect formation and highly perfumed. 
Color clear imperial-pink; a glorious flower. Awarded 
two gold medals, one silver medal and five first prizes in 
Europe. We can confidently recommend this sterling nov¬ 
elty as a most valuable addition. The largest flowers of 
all Hybrid Teas. A wonderful Rose. 
KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (Alex. Dickson, 1914.)—The in¬ 
troducers are to be congratulated sixteen years after the 
advent of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty 
which is undoubtedly the best of the Killarney type. Kil¬ 
larney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and the 
same freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is 
more double. The color is a very brilliant pink and 
varies like Killarney. In the garden in bright weather is 
clear pink, and in dull weather almost a crimson. Extra. 
KILLARNEY QUEEN (Budlong, 1912.)—A cerise-pink sport 
of Killarney that for clearness and brightness of color has 
not been equalled; exceptionally strong in growth, with 
foliage that is perfect, being larger than Killarney and 
more glossy. In size of petals Killarney Queen is larger 
than its parent, and for high grade bloom it is a very 
superior variety. Forces fine. 
LADY DE BATH (Benj. Cant, 1911.)—A grand garden 
Rose. Color, creamy-white, with golden-yellow markings 
in the center petals; extra fine. 
LADY DOWNE (W. Paul. 1911.)—A splendid bedding Rose, 
with large handsome flowers on stout stems. For a Rose 
the color is quite peculiar, being a beautiful shade of 
buff. When fully open the center is deep yellow, and it 
matures finely into a pleasing light yellow 7 - shade. 
LADY DUNLEATH (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A Rose with 
long pointed chaste petals, an intermingling of deep ivory, 
creamy-white, with egg-yolk yellow zoned petals of ex¬ 
treme beauty. Intense but delicately and deliciously 
Persian tea fragrance. Especially valuable for garden 
decoration, being marvelously free and continuous 
blooming. 
LADY KATHERINE ROSE (Bide, 1911.)—A direct cross be¬ 
tween “Antoine Rivoire” and “La Fraicheur.” The color 
of this Rose is of the same delicate pink as “La Fraicheur,” 
with the same unique markings in the petals characteristic 
of this beautiful Rose, retaining the delicious scent. This 
variety was growing in the midst of known varieties during 
the summer, and several leading Rose growers who saw it 
blooming were quick to pick it out. 
LADY MARY WARD (McGredy, 1913.)—Rich orange, shaded 
deeper apricot-orange, with a decided metallic flush. Very 
free flowering, with fine habit of growth. Sweetly perfumed, 
attractive and decorative. Gold medal N. R. S. 
LADY PIRRIE (Hugh Dickson, 1911.)—A delightful garden 
Rose, of very distinct coloring. Stands at the top of the 
“Fancy Roses.” The outside petals are reddish-salmon; in¬ 
side apricot, flushed fawn and copper. An ideal variety for 
bedding. Color, freedom of growth and abundance of bloom 
are bound to put this Rose in the very forefront of garden 
favorites. Awarded gold medal N. R. S. 
LADY REAY (Benj. Cant, 1911.)—An attractive bedding vari¬ 
ety. Color, deep rich pink, deeper in the center, shading 
off in the outer petals to silvery-white; very fine. 
LEMON QUEEN (Hobbies. 1913.)—Lemon-yellow. The build 
of the flower is a refined “Druschki.” The fragrance is de¬ 
licious and is a desirable attribute. A Rose par excellence. 
LOUIS DE MONTARDY (Puyravaud, 1913.)—Vermilion-red, 
occasionally flushed with velvety red, reverse of petals sil¬ 
very-white; large, double and globular and very sweetly 
scented; growth very vigorous, free branching and very 
floriferous. 
LOUISE LILIA (Lambert, 1913.)—Deep blood-red, almost 
black, perfect form; delicate perfume. The color is most 
striking and effective. 
MABEL DREW (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—A truly magnificent 
Rose, superb in every respect. The blooms are large and 
full, carried on strong and erect flower stalks; the color is 
deep cream on first opening, passing to intense canary-yel¬ 
low in the center as the bloom develops; has the delicious, 
refreshing perfume of the Tea Roses. Awarded by a unan¬ 
imous vote the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 
MADAME C. CHAMBARD (Chambard. 1912.) — Rosy-flesh, 
shaded salmon, and with touches of saffron, base of petals 
deep yellow. Sweet scented, long bud, opening well Very 
free. Fine bedding Rose. 
MADAME CHARLES LEJUNE (Guillot, 1912.) — Growth vig¬ 
orous and upright. Large oval buds carried on erect stems. 
Flowers very large and very double; of globular form. 
Color, clear silvery-rose, with vivid center. 
MADAME EDMOND ROSTAND (Pernet Ducher, 1912.)—De¬ 
lightfully free. Strong grower, with but few thorns and 
small ones at that. Bud long and beautifully formed, open¬ 
ing into a surprisingly large, full flower with Immense outer 
petals. Color, clear pink, with salmon shadings and red¬ 
dish-orange center, every tint clear and beautiful. The 
finest of the “Antoine Rivoire” type on account of its bril¬ 
liant coloring. A grandly beautiful Rose. 
MADAME G. SERRUIER (Soupert & Notting, 1910.) Mother 
of pearl white, beautifully flushed and tinted with baby-pink. 
The flowers are formed as perfectly as a Camellia flower. 
Blooms from June till winter comes. A fine Rose. 
MADAME JEAN LILLE (Dubreuil, 1913.)—A beautiful shade 
of pink with tones of flesh color, and a center of deep golden- 
yellow. A very free flowering Rose and extremely attractive. 
MADAME JULES BOUCHE (Croibler, 1911.)—A beautiful 
white, suffused with salmon-pink center, deeply shaded with 
virginal-pink; large and full. This Rose has won numerous 
medals and awards. 
MADAME LUCIEN BALTET (Pemet Ducher, 1911.) — Kosy- 
flesh, shaded yellow. Petals bordered carmine, large, full and 
globular. Very free blooming garden Rose. Distinct and useful. 
MADAME MAURICE RAFIN (Bernaix, 1913.)---Center of flower 
bright carmine with beautiful ponceau-red reflexes, outer 
petals clear rose. Very large and carried on long, stiff 
stems. Growth vigorous. 
MADAME P. EULER (Guillot, 1908.) — We place this Rose 
among the newer varieties so that particular attention may 
be called to it. Out in California and the Pacific Coast this 
Rose is so well thought of that it has been rechristened 
“Prima Donna.” The color is a lovely shade of vermilion- 
pink. changing to silvery-pink; petals undulated or waved 
on the edges; in a class by itself. We have every confidence 
in it as a sterling variety with an individuality that was 
bound to command attention, and time is proving same not 
unfounded. Its size, fragrance, wonderful lasting qualities, 
freedom of growth and bloom with a distinctiveness from 
any other Rose could not help but win a commanding place. 
MADAME RAVARY (Pernet Ducher, 1889.) — Not a new Rose, 
but not largely disseminated in this country. It is probable 
that more of this yellow Rose is planted in England, Ireland 
and the Continent than all other yellows combined. In 
growth and habit it is much like Madame Caroline Testout, 
and will always command a good price, being difficult to 
propagate. Long pointed buds of beautiful golden-yellow, 
opening to large, full, orange-yellow flowers; very free flow¬ 
ering. Superb. 
MADEMOISELLE DE VALLE DE QUINTELLA (Schwartz, 
1913.)—A very large and full flower of magenta-red, reverse 
of petals rosy-white striped carmine, base of petals golden- 
yellow. Growth very vigorous. 
MAM AN LYLY (Soupert & Notting, 1912.)—Delicate rosy- 
flesh. Very large, splendid Malmaison form, freely and con¬ 
stantly produced. The best of all rosy-flesh colored Roses. 
MARGUERITE MONTAVON (Soupert & Notting, 1913.) Very 
large, of perfect form and of superb substance. Color a bright 
China Rose. On account of its extreme freedom of blooming 
this new Rose will take the lead as a commercial variety, 
and prove invaluable for exhibition and bedding purposes.' 
MI-LADY (Pierson. 1913.)—A cross between “Richmond” and 
“J. B. Clark.” Color similar to “Richmond.” Large, full, 
well-formed flowers carried on stiff, erect stems. Very fra¬ 
grant and a fine keeper. Has jumped into popularity as a 
forcing Rose, but is, we think, more suited as a garden Rose.
