Seven Patented £ve^iLlo-onuna 
Eclipse 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Two-Year, Northern Field-Grown Plants 
ECLIPSE 
New Everblooming Rose. Plant Patent No. 172. The international 
sensation of the year, awarded prizes in Rome, Paris, and other test- 
gardens. Its long, stream-lined bud, enhanced by ornamental sepals, is 
of rich gold without shading. Petals are large and tough but not 
numerous, averaging 20 to 25, with more in the autumn. Speaking of 
this Rose, a connoisseur remarked: "Elegance is preferable to opu¬ 
lence." The name Eclipse came about because the seedling bloomed 
for the first time on the day of the total eclipse, August, 1932, and it 
will go in commerce with the slogan, "It eclipses 'em all." $1.50 each; 
3 for $4.00; $15.00 per doz. 
GLOAMING 
(J. H. Nicolas 1935). Plant Patent No. 137. $1.25 each; 
$12.50 per doz. A cut flower variety which has proved a 
"winner" wherever grown. Its large buds are carried on long 
rigid stems amply clothed with handsome foliage. The plant 
is vigorous and branching, fairly tall growing. Bloom is of 
unusual coloring—fawn-orange in the bud and the large, full 
blooms are of a peculiar pink overlaid with salmon. 
COUNTESS VANDAL 
(M. Leenders 1932). Plant Patent No. 38. $1.00 each; 
$10.00 per doz. The Rose of Roses! "Counfess" has 
been enthusiastically received by Rose lovers everywhere. 
Its long pointed bud, its distinctive shadings of coppery 
bronze suffused with soft gold and its form are a con¬ 
tinuous "movie" developing new beauty at all times during 
its long life. A leading seller among Hybrid Tea Roses. 
WHITE BRIARCLIFF 
(Mme. Louis Lens). (Lens 1933). Plant Patent No 
108. $1.25 each; $12.50 per doz. The first and only abso 
lutely pure white Hybrid Tea Rose—the goal of hybridizers 
for years. A supreme white Rose, with the finest form 
since bride's Roses have been grown. Vigorous, bushy 
plants. Tremendous producer and ideal for cutting. 
R.M.S. QUEEN MARY

riety is quite distinct from anything yet seen in Roses—a

glowing salmon and pink with an orange base. Buds long 
and pointed, flower large and of beautiful form. Freely 
produced and delicately perfumed. Good strong habit. 
Awarded highest honors wherever exhibited. $2.00 each; 
$20.00 per doz. 
McGREDY'S PINK 
(McGredy 1936). Plant Patent rights reserved. 
$1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. The color is a beauti¬ 
ful bright rose. As the flower opens the outer 
petals shade to a pearly ceram and pink with a 
saffron-yellow base. The blooms are large, of per¬ 
fect form, and sweetly scented. They are produced 
on stiff stems, free and continuously from early 
summer to late autumn. The long stems are cov¬ 
ered with dark green foliage and few thorns. It is 
a Rose of cons : derable merit on account of the 
model blooms produced in the greatest profus : on. 
A fine Rose for exhibition and garden purposes. 
Awarded the First Class Ground Certificate and 
Certificate of Merit of the National Rose Society. 
ROME GLORY 
(Aicardi 1937). Patent applied for. $2.00 each; 
$20.00 per doz. A cross of Dame Edith Helen and 
Sensation. This Rose was bred with the objective 
of raising a red Dame Edith Helen and the objec- 
t ve has been reached. A most robust and vigorous 
plant, much more winter hardy than most Hybrid 
Teas, producing in quick succession long stems 
benrng large crimson-red buds opening into full, 
well-formed, fragrant, cerise-red blooms. The flow¬ 
ers ore long lasting on the plant or when cut and 
are not affected by dry or wet weather. We have 
no hesitation in proclaiming Rome Glory the finest 
red Rose yet introduced.
