HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Etoile de Hollande. A good crimson-red. 
★Flowers are large and fragrant. Altogether 
one of the most reliable red Roses. See 
in color, back cover. 
Golden Dawn. A lovely shade of light lemon- 
yellow, with old-rose markings; full, double 
fragrant flowers of exquisite form and a 
nice habit of flowering. 
Gruss an Teplitz. Undoubtedly the most 
showy red Rose. The medium-sized flowers 
are produced with utmost freedom; color, 
velvety crimson, and intensely fragrant. 
Joanna Hill. Very large, full flowers of clear 
★ yellow on opening, shading to orange- 
yellow in the center when fully expanded. 
The flowers are fragrant and particularly 
valuable for cutting. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. This is the sweet¬ 
est of all the white Roses. The bud is a 
creamy white, developing slowly to large, 
snow-white flowers that are absolutely 
perfect in form. Notwithstanding its ten¬ 
dency to winter-kill unless heavily pro¬ 
tected, it should be in every collection. 
Lady Alice Stanley. A lovely coral-rose, 
shading toward the center to flesh-pink. 
Strong, upright growth; healthy, attractiv e 
foliage; very free flowering.

rose. Plants vigorous and bushy.

It is rich, brilliant, velvety scarlet and 
growth is perfect.

★with gold near the base of petals; highly

Rose). Sparkling coral-red and orange, at

scarlet. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. A Radiance variety with 
all of the splendid growing features of the 
parent plant, but a lovely shell-pink in 
color, shaded with salmon. 
Mrs. E. P. Thom. About the most abundant- 
flowering yellow garden Rose. Full, 
double, shapely flowers, of a lemon-yellow 
color. A very satisfactory bedding Rose. 
Mrs. Henry Morse. Two-tone pink. The 
buds are perfect in form, long, very artis¬ 
tically formed, of a rich carmine-pink and 
open to a high-pointed, two-toned, pink 
flower of great beauty. The outside of the 
petals is a clean, lustrous pink, while the 
inside is pinkish flesh with a lovely sheen. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. This is the outstand¬ 
ing yellow Rose of the day. A rich golden 
yellow; reddish gold tints while in the bud 
stage. The easiest-grown yellow Rose. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. Coppery scarlet-orange, 
★ flushed red. Vigorous healthy plant. One 
of the finest. 
Ophelia. So thoroughly established as one of 
the good garden Roses that a description 
is hardly necessary. Color is a delicate 
salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Very free 
and altogether desirable.

bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and 
yellow; large, fragrant, well-formed flowers.

ditions. Color, brilliant carmine-pink, with

apricot, rose, pink, scarlet, and crimson 
are the colors which Talisman assumes 
under favorable conditions. 
Ville de Paris. A gorgeous yellow. Long, 
well-formed buds and large flowers. 
Hybrid Perpetuals 
These are of the more sturdy type of Roses, 
and for cold climates are the most desirable.

November. In spring from one-half to two- 
thirds of the wood should be cut away, and 
the weak branches removed in early spring.

New Climbing Roses 
BLAZE. Plant Patent No. 10. The ever- 
blooming Paul’s Scarlet Climber. This 
new climber has all the fine points of 
Paul’s Scarlet, with the added trait of 
flowering more or less throughout the 
season. As a pillar Rose it is a valuable 
addition; if pruned back to a height of 2 
to 3 feet, it makes an excellent shrub. 
$1 each. 
DOUBLOONS. Plant Patent No. 152. The 
hardiest of the new yellow climbing Roses, 
it will be particularly valuable in New 
England. Saffron-yellow flowers—cup- 
formed and of good texture—are carried in 
sprays, opening one after another. The 
flowering period is prolonged and occasion¬ 
ally flowers appear later in the season. 
Excellent foliage and rugged growing 
habit. $1 each, $2.50 for 3. 
FLASH. Plant Patent No. 396. Very 
spectacular. Bright red, with gold petal 
reverse; rich, fruity fragrance. Dark green,

climbing Roses, 1940 All-America Rose 
Selections. Note. We have not had an 
opportunity to try out this Rose thor¬ 
oughly, but it had to pass a severe test to 
win the above award. $1 each. 
GOLDEN GLOW. Plant Patent No. 263. 
Originated by Mr. Brownell, who pro¬ 
duced Golden Climber, this later variety 
should be a decided improvement. The 
very double rich yellow flowers are carried 
in extremely large sprays, and are re¬ 
markable for intensity of color and for 
unusual keeping qualities. Rich, glossy, 
luxuriant foliage. $1 each. 
NEW DAWN. Plant Patent No. 1. A sport 
from Dr. W. Van Fleet, and identical with 
it in size and formation of its flowers and 
colcr, but it blooms intermittently through¬ 
out the summer and fall months. Since it 
has the hardiness of Dr. W. Van Fleet, we 
regard it as the first worth-while ever- 
blooming climber ever introduced. $1.50 
each.
