ROSES 
Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses 
Field-grown, hardy, 2-year, No. 1 
plants: 35c each; 3 for $1.00, post¬ 
paid. 
AUTUMN. Most extraordinary colored rosebud 
A 3 orange on strong stems for cutting. Foliage 
glossy and very dark green. 
BRIARCLIFE. Handsome flowers of silvery rose- 
pink. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. A charming type with roll¬ 
ing edges. A blend of deep carmine with coppery or¬ 
ange, the interior being mostly a delicate salmon-pink. 
CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. A very fine bright red 
bedding rose. The flowers are large semi-double, brilliant 
crimson with a scarlet undertone, and are produced in 
large numbers throughout the season. 
DAME EDITH HELEN. A magnificent, fragrant, 
full-bodied new Rose of many substantial petals which 
curl back prettily, holding steadily to one vivid pink 
color, and that the rare Rose du Barn shade. 
E. G. HILL. H.T. (1929.) Bud very beautiful; flow¬ 
er immense, unusually lasting, dazzling scarlet, shading 
to a deeper, pure red as it develops, but never showing 
purple, borne on long stem. Foliage abundant, ot tine 
color. Growth vigorous ; very free bloomer. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. H.T. 
This Rose is comparatively new and 
its worth has been realized more and 
more as it has been tried. It is con- 
sidered by Rose experts to be one of 
the best red Roses on the market to¬ 
day. Flower moderately double, es¬ 
pecially attractive when half blown. 
Its dark red overlaid with almost 
black velvet shadings, is irresistible.

MRS. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM. (Howard & Smith, 
1926 ) An unfading yellow with dark healthy foliage. Sle 
der yellow buds opening to well shaped canary-yellow blooms, 
deepening in the center. A satisfactory Rose for bedding on 
account of its fine foliage, heavy growth and wealth of bloom. 
NUNTIUS PACELLI, Hybrid Tea (Leenders Bros., 1927) 
has become in the past few years one of the leading whites. 
It resembles K. A. Victoria in form and color but is somewhat 
more prolific in blooming and has a better form of growth. 
PADRE. (New.) Brick color, something very desirable. 
We have added this as a striking variety and we hope you will 
try one of these in your garden. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. The brilliant new 
Hybrid Tea Rose that has become popular over night. Future 
the amazingly rich contrast of its maroon, orange, and gold 
colorings as they merge together in their glorious way. Long, 
pointed buds, tall, strong stems and its heavy blooming Qual¬ 
ities make it an ideal Rose for the florist s trade, and so far it 
has not been grown in near large enough quantities to supply 
the demand. Also, it is a fine Rose in the garden. 
RADIANCE. Extra hardy, vigorous and prolific; one of 
the best all-round garden Roses. Its color is a beautiful blend¬ 
ing of carmine-rose with shades of opal and copper, 
SUNBURST. Golden yellow with yellow-orange center. 
A good variety. 
TALISMAN. The most gorgeous assemblage of color in 
one flower ever presented by a Rose. That it has pleased the 
experts is proven by the great number of gold medal awards 
given it since the shows of ’28. ’The bud is long and shapely, 
developing into a medium sized compactly double, flower ; a free 
bloomer, with glossy foliage and strong plant growth Strong 
colors exhibited, mostly in well defined angular blocks; gold, 
apricot-yellow, blood-orange, deep pink and old rose. 
BETTY UPRICHARD 
GRENOBLE Glowing scarlet-crimson. The P. ant 
is very vigorous and the blooms come on unusually long 
stems, making it one of the best garden roses for cut¬ 
ting. Easily one of the best reds. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. Full double 
flowers; delicate creamy white; deliciously fragrant. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. Full double, large size 
and continuous bloom ; brilliant scarlet-tipped crimson, 
the base orange-yellow.
