HYBRID TEA ROSES, NEWER VARIETIES—Concluded 
RENA ROBBINS (Hill, 1911.) -This 
is a "rand garden Rose. Strong 
grower, producing its enormous 
flowers in the greatest profusion. 
Comes a bright yellow, changing to 
a pure white, with golden-yellow 
heart. Flowers of grand form and 
a mass of bloom throughout the 
summer until frost. Why the trade 
fights shy of this Rose is beyond 
our ken. Try it and you will be¬ 
come wedded to it. No prettier or 
better Rose in this list. 
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 foli¬ 
age. Flowers very freely produced. 
We feel sure this will prove a de¬ 
lightful companion for General 
McArthur and Rhea Reid. Robin 
Hood captured the first prize at 
the Massachusetts Horticultural So¬ 
ciety's June Flower Show for best 
red Rose. 
ROSE DU BARRI (B. R. Cant & Sons, 
1911. ) — A very free and constant 
blooming garden Rose, of a beauti¬ 
ful pure “Rose du Barri" color ; ex¬ 
ceedingly sweet scented. Extra fine. 
SAINT HELENA (B. R. Cant & Sons, 
1912. )—A beautiful cream color 
flushed with pink and quite blush 
in the center, golden-yellow at base 
of the petals. Flowers of good size 
and delightful fragrance. A decided 
acquisition as a garden Rose. 
SEABIRD —A delightful garden Rose 
with vigorous free branching 
growth, flowering freely and con¬ 
tinuously on long upright stems. 
Flowers of medium to large size, of 
•fine form and good substance. Color 
clear primrose-yellow, paling with Prince En 
age to creamy-yellow. A splendid 
bedding Rose and altogether a grand variety. 
SOUVENIR DE E. GUILLARD (Chambard, 1913.)—Large, full, 
sweetly scented flowers carried on long, stiff flower stalks. 
Color saffron, shaded coppery-carmine. Growth very vigorous 
and very fioriferous. Awarded first-class certificate Lyons. 
SOUVENIR DE MADAME E. MULLNARD (Dubreuil, 1913.) — 
Inside of petals saffron-flesh, outside brilliant carmine with 
silver reflex. Large and very full. In the style of Madame 
Abel Chatenay, but with more vigorous and with larger 
flowers. „ 
SUNBEAM (B. R. Cant & Sons. 1913.)—Deep yellow with 
peach shadings, opening to fawn-yellow with peach shading. 
Very beautiful. A fine decorative Rose. 
SUNBURST (Pernet Ducher, 1912.) — This magnificent giant 
yellow Rose is a fine forcer; it stands head and shoulders 
above all others of its color and will rank with American 
Beauty and the Killarneys in value and grandeur. It has 
long pointed buds, which can be cut tight for market. I he 
color is orange-copper or golden-orange and golden-yellow ; 
glebert Charles de Arenberg. (See description page 6.) 
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. Better get acquainted with “Sunburst." 
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. 
VERNA MACK AY (Alex. Dickson. 1912.)—This is a beautiful 
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 profusion. The growth 
is vigorous, of free branching habit, every shoot being ter¬ 
minated by a sweetly perfumed flower. 
ANDRE GAMON (rcrnet Ducher, 1909.)—Color deep rose and 
carmine. Edges of petals carmine-lake. Extra. 
ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Pernet Ducher, 1896.) -This has proven 
a grand forcer, and is wrongly named by the trade Mrs. 
T ift and by others Prince of Bulgaria. Rosy-flesli, on yellow 
ground, shaded with a border of carmine; large and full. Ill 
the cut flower markets this is a much called for variety. 
ANTOINE VERDIER (Jamain, 1872.)—Fine rosy-red; a grand 
AURORA '(VV. 0 Paul, 1898.)—One of the grandest of all Hybrid 
Tea Roses. Color, clear, bright pink, full and double to the 
center. The most fragrant of all Roses. We think this as 
fine a garden Rose as we catalogue. A gem of the first water. 
BEAUTY OF STAPLEFORD (Bennett, 1880.)—Rosy-crimson; 
makes a fine shapely bud and flower. 
BESSIE BROWN (Alex. Dickson, 1899.)—Creamy-wh.te, flow¬

habit.
