MARGARET 
McGREDY 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
MARGARET McGREDY. This color is difficult 
to describe—red, rose, and flame on the upper side 
of the petals, the under surface suffused with gold 
—a wonderful contrast; perhaps orange-vermilion 
or coppery red would best describe it. Free and 
prolific bloomer; extremely hardy. Moderately 
fragrant. Very vigorous, erect and bushy. No. 1 
Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. This is really a fine, 
well-formed, and truly colored “red” Rose, and so 
does not exactly tally with the name. Deep down 
inside the red petalage you will find the true scarlet 
tones. Fragrant. Very vigorous, erect and bushy. 
No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. See cut, 
page 9. 
MISS CYNTHIA FORDE. Of all the clear, 
rich pinks, this is one of the very largest and most 
striking. The petals are beautifully imbricated, and 
in the fall one often gets flowers from it almost as 
large as a peony. Moderately fragrant. Very 
vigorous, tall and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; 
Extra Grade, $1.00. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. Brilliant satiny pink, 
center shaded old-gold to orange-flame. Very large 
flowers, frequently 5 to 6 inches across, sometimes 
too heavy for the stems to support. Very vigorous, 
tall and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, 
$1.00. See cut, page 14. 
MME. BUTTERFLY. Salmon- to flesh-pink, 
center petals shaded light yellow; perfectly formed. 
Will always be a favorite wherever Roses are grown. 
Slightly fragrant. Vigorous, erect. No. 1 Grade, 
85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
MME. JULES BOUCHE. Pearly white, camellia- 
like flower, tinged blush. Our easiest-growing white. 
Moderately fragrant. Very vigorous, tall and 
branching. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
MRS. AARON WARD. Indian yellow, variable 
in color, edging to white. Blooms are often quite 
whitish at the beginning of the season but the color 
comes back in the later blooms. Moderately fra¬ 
grant. Moderate, low and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 
cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00. 
MRS. CHARLES BELL. One of the most 
delicate, refined, light salmon-pink shades found in 
Roses. A sport of the ever-popular Radiance, with 
the good qualities of that family, and often called 
the “Shell-Pink Radiance.” Intensely fragrant. 
Very vigorous, tall and bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; 
Extra Grade, $1.00. 
MRS. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM. The 
deep yellow buds, with carmine markings, open to 
semi-double, clear lemon-yellow flowers which never 
fade or open with “dirty” centers. Similar to, but 
better than, Souv. de Claudius Pernet. Rather a 
long name for a Rose with so many good points. 
You will never grow tired of this long-lived variety. 
Moderately fragrant. Very vigorous, tall and 
bushy. No. 1 Grade, 85 cts.; Extra Grade, $1.00.
