McGredy’s Irish Roses 
The McGredy Irish Roses, originating in Ireland, are known and prized 
throughout the world because of their beauty and hardiness. For years 
they have won a large percentage of the medals and honors at the British 
flower shows. We offer in thrifty, two-year-old, field grown stock, five of 
the most outstanding varieties introduced during the last few years. 
MARGARET McGREDY. Long lasting, double, cup-shaped flowers. The 
color is brilliant oriental-red changing, with age, to orange-scarlet. Vigor¬ 
ous and free flowering. Seldom out of bloom, and one of the best. 60c 
each; 3 for $1.35, postpaid. 
McGREDY’S IVORY. Beautiful long buds opening ivory-white with a 
pale yellow base. Perfectly shaped double fragrant blooms. 60c each ; 3 
for $1.35, postpaid. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. The large, full double, fragrant flowers are 
brilliant scarlet with an orange base. The upper portion of the petals are 
splashed with crimson, varying with weather conditions. A very striking 
variety and always beautiful. 60c each; 3 for $1.35, postpaid. 
McGREDY’S YELLOW. Large, bright canary-yellow flowers; perfectly 
formed and fragrant. Unlike most yellow Roses, it is a strong grower, 
disease free and does not fade. Unquestionably the best yellow Rose. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 
MRS. SAM McGREDY. Large blooms of coppery orange-scarlet with a 
suffusion of red and gold making a color combination impossible to de¬ 
scribe. The flowers are delicately perfumed, freely produced and fine for 
cutting. A vigorous, healthy plant and one of the best of the Irish Roses.

fasuibloommc^ Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
American Beauty 
The Hybrid Perpetuals are hardier and more vigorous 
than the Hybrid Teas, and perhaps the most valuable of 
all Roses for permanent planting, as they will succeed al¬ 
most any place. Many people in the North think they 
cannot grow Roses because of the severe winters, but 
Roses can be grown in any climate, provided the right 
kinds are planted. 
Our stock has been constantly selected from plants show¬ 
ing persistent everblooming habits, enabling us this year, 
for the first time, to offer to our customers a complete list 
of Hybrid Perpetual Roses that are truly everblooming 
and hardy in the North. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. Too popular and well known to 
require much description. Large, perfectly formed flow¬ 
ers of cerise-crimson. Intensely fragrant. Our strain of 
this lovely Rose, under normal conditions, shows remarkable 
everblooming tendencies. 
HENRY NEVARD (RED DRUSCHKI). L arge, velvety- 
scarlet flowers. Full double and very fragrant. One of 
the freest flowering varieties in its class. 
MME. ALBERT BARBIER. Sometimes called the Yel¬ 
low American Beauty. Large full double flowers of soft 
fawn-yellow blended with pinkish shades at the center, 
changing to creamy white with age. An unusual color for 
a Rose in this class. 
PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY (GEORGE ARENDS). One 
of the finest pink Roses in cultivation. Flowers extra large, 
soft pink, and very fragrant. 
WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY (FRAU KARL DRUSCH¬ 
KI). The most popular white Rose in existence. Extra 
large flowers of pure waxy white. Very fragrant and free 
flowering. Tall, healthy and vigorous. Can be trained as 
a pillar Rose as it frequently grows six to nine feet in 
height.
