HYBRID TEA ROSES, NEWER VARIETIES—Continued 
MELODY (A. Dickson. 1911.) A most charming and decidedly 
beautiful Hose, which attracted the attentiton of all visitors 
to our Rose gardens during the past summer because of its 
marvelous free-blooming qualities. The blooms are of good 
size; the color is an intense, pure, deep saffron-yellow, with 
primrose edges, a delightful color harmony. A Hose of the 
highest merits. 
MEVROUW DORA VAN TETS (Leenders, 1912.) — A chaste 
Hose of great beauty. The habit of growth is perfection, 
every shoot producing a bloom, a veritable pearl for garden 
decoration. The color is a deep glowing crimson; a flower 
you want to linger with, and which you visit again and 
again. This is another most valuable garden Hose sent out 
by that painstaking Dutchman, M. Leenders, of Steil- 
Tegelan, who lias already enriched for all time our gardens 
with the grand varieties "Jonkheer .1. L. Mock,” "Garten- 
director Hartrath” and "General Superior Arnold Janssen.” 
Your friends will make no mistake in planting this Rose. 
MILDRED GRANT (Alex. Dickson, 1901.) — Ivory-white, with 
an occasional flush of pale peach. High pointed center, with 
unusually large and massive petals, opening to perfectly 
formed flowers of enormous size and substance. Awarded 
the gold medal of X. R. S. We are the only firm in the 
United States offering this Rose on its own roots in young 
plants. It is a grand Rose. 
MONSIEUR R. ARNAUD (Perdriolle, 1912.)—Deep pink, shaded 
yellow and crab-red; very free flowering and exquisitely 
perfumed. A glorious Rose. 
MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE (Cocker. 1913.) — Sent out by 
James Cocker Sons, of Aberdeen, Scotland. This Hose is 
an epoch making flower, as an old Kentish grower put it, 
"a nailer.” At the stand where Mrs. Andrew Carnegie was 
shown there was a big crowd around it all the time the show 
was open. Queen Alexandra admired it as she passed through 
the show in the morning before the great rush of the after¬ 
noon. One enthusiast describes it as having "lit up the 
whole show.” With its handsome shape and delicious fra¬ 
grance it combines a color that entrances. I’ale lemon-yel¬ 
low at base of the petals shading to pure white. Won the 
gold medal X. li. S. 
MRS. ARTHUR E. E. COXHEAD (McGredy, 1911.)—In this 
magnificent Hose we have a new and distinct color among 
Hybrid Teas, and one very difficult to describe; claret-red, 
shaded vermilion towards the edge, with a wonderful bright 
silvery sheen towards the base of the petals, giving a dis¬ 
tinct illuminated effect to the whole bloom. A truly great va¬ 
riety. Awarded the gold medal of the National Hose Society. 
MRS. CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON (Alex. Dickson, 1910.) — 
Is a Hose of great beauty and distinctness. The flowers are 
produced in wonderful profusion ; the blooms are large, full 
and of globular form; the petals smooth, circular and of 
great substance; color deep crimson-pink on front of petals, 
crayoned deep crimson-carmine on the reverse side, a warm 
color that lights up well when held in varied positions of 
light; very highly perfumed. 
MRS. CHARLES E. PEARSON (McGredy, 1913.)—A glorious 
orange-yellow, flushed and tinted with red, apricot and fawn, 
sweetly scented; a glorious Rose. Gold medal National Hose 
Society. 
MRS. CHARLES HUNTER (W. Paul, 1912.)—A strong, vig¬ 
orous grower, with rosy-crimson flowers, changing to a pleas¬ 
ing rose as they fully expand. A very bold flower, with large 
handsome petals, produced on strong, upright stalks. 
MRS. CORNWALLIS WEST (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—A truly 
magnificent and absolutely distinct Rose of huge size and 
great substance, with exquisite imbricated globular form. 
The petals are very smooth, shell-shaped, leathery and en- 
trancingly beautiful. The purity of the transparent deli¬ 
cate pink—which is between a shell and a rose-pink—on the 
purest white gives it an attraction all its own that it is 
difficult to convey. Awarded the gold medal, X. K. S. 
MRS. E. ALFORD (Lowe & Shawyer, 1913.)—Color silvery- 
pink, large, full flowers carried erect; strong grower and 
very free flowering. 
MRS. FORDE (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A magnificent and ex¬ 
quisite Hose, whose large blooms, on erect, flower stalks, are 
of perfect form and finish with daintiest colorings, which 
are certainly unique among Hoses, 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; refresh¬ 
ingly fragrant, being delightfully and distinctly tangerine- 
rose perfume. Awarded gold medal X. It. S. 
MRS. FRANK BRAY (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)—This is claimed 
to be a great advance on the lovely and justly esteemed 
"Mine. Ravary,” which until now has the best of its color 
amongst the decorative or garden varieties. "Mrs. Frank 
Bray" during its several years' trial preceding its introduc¬ 
tion. has proven immensely superior to its prototype, not 
only in vigorous growth, but also in color, which is a deep 
rich, coppery-ecru, developing as the flower opens to a very 
delicate coppery-fawn, with a shading of ivory shell-pink. 
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (McGredy. 1913.)—Deep 
orange-red shaded with bronzy apricot-red : growth vigorous 
and very free flowering; blooms large, of good habit and 
substance. Very fragrant. Silver medal X. R. S. 
MRS. G. W. KERSHAW (Alex. Dickson. 1911.)—-Glowing deep 
glossy pink; large, very full flowers; of fine form and very 
sweet; very floriferous; a superb and distinct variety. 
MRS. GORDON SLOANE (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)— Pearly flesh- 
white which, as-the flower develops, becomes a delicate cop¬ 
pery shrimp-pink in the center with creamy outer petals; 
reverse of petals electric copper on pure deep salmon-pink. 
The blooms are produced in marvelous profusion; has a de¬ 
licious fruit perfume. A truly charming Hose. 
MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (McGredy, 1912.)—This is a Rose of 
very special merit. In all the range of colors among Hy¬ 
brid Teas, it stands unique and quite distinct; bright car¬ 
mine-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 Hose is 
pleasing and attractive; fragrant. 
MRS. SAM ROSS (Hugh Dickson. 1912.)—Very large, full 
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 uncommon 
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 Hose Society, Regent's Park, Lon¬ 
don, July 7, 1911. 
MRS. T. HILLAS (Pernet Ducher, 1913.)—Flower large and 
full, of elongated cup shape. Color deep chrome-yellow, very 
bright and effective. A fine Hose of hardy constitution. 
MRS. WALTER E. MARTIN (Reymond. 1913.)—A most beauti¬ 
ful flower of clear bright pink, reverse of petals rosy or 
blush-white; large, double, cupped shape. A very fresh color. 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912.)—This Hose was given an award of 
merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. Why 
they did not give it a gold medal is beyond our ken. An 
enormously large, full floower, of flue shape, making a mag¬ 
nificent effect in the garden. Growth vigorous. This is a 
great Hose. 
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 Hose 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 tlie ages go by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in 
their description, which we give verbatim: "Salmon-flesh, 
shaded with rose; large, and of perfect shape; of excellent 
habit, the flowers standing up well on long stiff stems and 
produced in great profusion. Excellent 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. 
PRESIDENT VIGNET (Pernet Ducher. 1911.) — Flower large, 
full and globular; on long stem. Color, deep carmine-red, 
shaded bright poppy-red. A charming garden Rose. 
PRIMEROSE (Soupert & Notting, 1913.)—Melon-yellow dur¬ 
ing spring and summer, deeper in autumn, with apricot shad¬ 
ings. a most distinct coloring; large, double, of perfect form, 
with long pointed buds; deliciously fragrant. Magnificent 
bedding Rose. Unsurpassed. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (Soupert & 
Notting, 1910.)—Without doubt the most promising 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 perfect open flower of ideal form; 
no deformed buds. The color is a clear and lively red without 
ton of purple that kills all the other red forcers. The color is 
most pleasing and under artificial light wonderfully brilliant. 
Growers will make no mistane in planting this Rose heavily. 
QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913.) — A uniquely beautiful 
Rose which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and ever 
holds them in its lovely sway. Its pure rich colorings, 
which are zoned deep, bright canary-yellow, on plenteous 
well-shaped petals which are crayoned with pure deep car¬ 
mine. This extra touch of color gives a gloriously warm 
effect as the yellow and carmine do not commingle, the petals 
are arranged in tip-tilted globular formation. It is most 
floriferous and fragrantly primrose-tea perfumed. Awarded 
silver cup Festival of the Empire, Crystal Palace, London, 
aad silver gilt medal X. R. S. 
ROBERT HUEY (Alex. Dickson. 1911.)—Messrs. Dickson, sub¬ 
mitted a number of their promising seedlings for trial to 
Dr. Robert Huey, one of Philadelphia's most enthusiastic 
and best-posted amateur Rose growers, from which he se¬ 
lected this variety to name after his son. The description fol¬ 
lowing is by Dr. Huey : "A strong, vigorous grower, giving ex¬ 
tra fine stems for cutting ; color bright carmine shaded deeper 
on the outer petals; flowers large, full and of good substance; 
buds pointed : the largest and finest of the red-colored Hy¬ 
brid Teas; should have a rich, deep soil and good feeding.”
