liciously fragrant cut-flower for the blooms come 
singly on strong, erect stems. The long, deli¬ 
cate yellow buds open to large blooms of moon¬ 
light-yellow which ages to soft cream-white, and 
the petals hold their shape for days. 
MARGY. This brilliant new rose has a vivid, 
dancing color that sets it apart from all other 
Polyanthas. The glowing scarlet blooms are 
borne all season on symmetrical, upright plants. 
Lovely for “spotting” in front of shrubs or ever¬ 
greens. 
QUEEN MARGARET HUNT. Its pointed bud 
is of spiral form, dark crimson in color, with a 
satiny sheen. The developed flower is medium 
large; the inside of the petals are dark maroon, 
plush-like in texture, and fairly scintillate in the 
sun. while the reverse is satiny. The petals are 
rounded, evenly arranged about a tuft of golden 
yellow stamens, making a beautiful contrast with 
the maroon velvet of the open flower. The blooms 
are deliciously scented, borne both singly and in 
clusters on long stems. The plant grows lustily, 
and is' a prolific and continuous bloomer. 
VICTORIA HARRINGTON. Pointed buds of 
blackish red slowly open to high-centered flowers 
of non-fading, velvety dark red, warmed with a 
golden flush in the heart of the flower. Strong, 
healthy plants. A rose of lovely color and in¬ 
formal “cactus” form, quite different from any 
other red variety. The ageing flowers neither 
blue nor fade.

This richly fragrant rose, which originated in 
southern Spain, is the brightest colored of all the 
varieties produced by Pedro Dot. No other rost 
matches it in color and it simply glows like a 
beacon in our gardens, 
CLIMBING DAINTY BESS. A strong, clean¬ 
growing, everblooming climber that should share 
the popularity accorded the Dainty Bess bush 
rose. We know of no other single pink climber 
that approaches this for size, beauty, and con¬ 
tinuity of bloom. 
CL. MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. A climb¬ 
ing sport of the beautiful yellow Mrs. Pierre S. 
Du Pont. This is a real eveibloomer, the finest 
we have observed in a yellow rose.

stems. Foliage abundant, large, glossy. Few 
thorns. Growth very vigorous.

rose of upright growth. The pure yellow buds

colored zinnias. A free and continuous bloomer. 
KATHERINE PECHTOLD. Lovely, exquisitely 
pointed buds of old gold and bronzy orange, 
opening into blooms of a lovely coppery-orange 
flushed with rose and gold. In addition to its 
showy color it has a delicately sweet fragrance 
reminiscent of the old fashioned Clove Pinks. 
Thrifty, vigorous, upright growing plant, pro¬ 
ducing long stems for cutting.

son.

mine, crimson, and scarlet around the edges, giv¬ 
ing the appearance of a red rose with a great 
yellow center. Does best as a short pillar. This 
is the most spectacular climbing rose we have 
ever seen. One glorious flower will pay for the 
plant, and you will never forget the first bloom 
which opens for you.

not blue. Old damask perfume. Strong upright

pink. As the flower opens, there is a delightful 
reflecting of the petals which enhances the beau¬ 
ty of the pink tones. Growth vigorous; free 
flowering. 
CECIL. A wonderfully decorative, new, single 
rose with good-sized five petalled flowers of a 
glorious buttercup yellow. There is no other 
variety anything like it. The bud is extremely 
conical and the open flower is like a yellow star. 
Fine bush and foliage. Medium bushes only. 
CONDESSA DE SASTAGO. The bud is like a 
ball of gold with brilliant red .stripes. When 
fully open the fiery red copper on the inside of 
the petals and rich gold on the reverse makes a 
breath-taking contrast. Here is a highly colored 
rose with an alluring, spicy scent. The plant 
is unusually strong and upright in growth witn 
excellent foliage. 
CYNTHIA. This variety is best described as 
an improved Charles P. Kilham. The attractive 
buds develop into splendid full flowers of a rich 
Oriental red color. Its free flowering habit and 
attractive color make it very desirable.
