NOVELTIES AND RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, continued 
RADIANT BEAUTY. (Cleveland Cut 
Flower Co., 1934.) Lives up to its name, 
and is an improved form of Francis Scott 
Key, opening to a perfect Rose in all weath¬ 
ers. The color is a peculiar red; the petals 
are neither velvety nor satiny but of an 
unusual eggshell finish. Hardy, vigorous 
grower. Patent 97. Extra Grade, $1.25; 
No. 1 Grade, $1.00. 
REX ANDERSON. (S. McGredy & Son, 
1937.) We need more good white Roses, and 
this latest introduction gives us an excep¬ 
tionally clean, chaste white with an overcast 
of ivory. Plant-growth is exceptionally vig¬ 
orous and free blooming. Pleasant perfume. 
Patent 335. Extra Grade, $1.75; No. 1 
Grade, $1.50. 
R. M. S. QUEEN MARY. (H. A. Ver- 
schuren, 1937.) A glorious combination of 
vivid shades blending to rich glowing salmon 
with an exquisite pure pink and an orange 
base. Buds are long and pointed 
and the open flower in all stages 
of development has excellent 
form. Grows vigorously and 
blooms abundantly on long stiff 
stems. Delicious fragrance. 
Patent 249. Extra Grade, $1.75; 
No. 1 Grade, $1.50. 
ROCHESTER. (J. H. Nicolas, 
1934.) Floribunda type. A very 
hardy and robust new strain 
combining Hybrid Tea with 
Polyantha. Very prolific bloomer 
with numerous clusters from 
spring to frost without inter¬ 
ruption. Flowers SYz inches 
diameter, double, and perfectly 
formed, a combination of car¬ 
mine and yellow with the iri¬ 
descence of a pearl. Patent 131. 
Extra Grade, $1.00; No. 1 
Grade, 85 cts. 
SIGNORA. (D. Aicardi, Italy, 
1936.) Long bud of a warm 
burnt sienna, opening to a 
lighter hue toward mandarine. 
Blooms come on many long 
stems making it the ideal Rose 
for cutting. When full open 
there are so many hues and such 
an ever-changing iridescence as 
to deserve the description of 
“the most polychrome” of all 
Roses. Plant and foliage are 
unusually healthy. Patent 201. 
Extra Grade, $1.50; No. 1 
Grade, $1.25. 
TEXAS CENTENNIAL. (A. F. Watkins, 
1935.) A sport of President Herbert Hoover 
with all its wonderful plant qualities. The 
color is blood-red, toning to cerise-red in the 
center. Like the President Hoover Rose 
the bud is long-pointed, flower well formed, 
and borne on a long stem, ideal for cutting. 
Patent 162. Extra Grade, $1.00; No. 1 
Grade, 85 cts. 
WARRAWEE. (Mrs. H. C. Fitzhardinge, 
1934.) Exquisite shell-pink. The long- 
pointed salmon-pink buds open to a per¬ 
fectly formed bloom with spicy fragrance. 
Plant blooms and grows as easily as Radi¬ 
ance. Patent 140. Extra Grade, $1.25; 
No. 1 Grade, $1.00.
