EVERBLOOMING, or HYBRID TEA ROSES 
This class of Rose is most satisfactory, since 
they continue to flower throughout the entire 
season from early Summer until frost. They 
are hardy, but it is advisable to give Winter 
protection. The following list contains the 
choicest varieties only. 
PATENTED 
RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
Countess Vandal (Plant Patent 38). A vig- 
orous Rose with long, pointed, orange-cop- 
per buds. The flowers are brilliant pink 
with a salmon glow and richly fragrant. 
Ea. $1.25. 
Dickson’s Red. First award ‘‘All-America 
Rose Selections’ for Hybrid Teas, 1940. 
(Plant Patent 376.) (Retails $1.25 each.) 
A glowing scarlet red Rose from the Emer- 
ald Isle. The ripe warmth of its color is 
constant, its abundant bloom unflagging 
all through the Summer. Happily, also, 
it is rich in the fragrance you instinctively 
expect in a red Rose. If the sun has been 
cruel to your reds, here is a ‘‘must have’”’ 
for your list—it defies the hottest sun’s 
rays and retains its color undimmed. 
Pearl S. Buck (Kordes 1940). (Plant Patent 
423.) (Retails $1.50 each.) This beauti- 
ful golden yellow Rose is now offered for 
the first time this year. The pointed orange 
bud is freely produced on a _ vigorous 
growing bush amply supplied with dark 
green foliage. The stems are long and ex- 
cellent for cutting. As the bud opens, it 
lightens to a deep yellow with tinges of 
apricot. A superb combination. Lovely 
fragrance; medium height. 
Eclipse (Plant Patent 172). An international 
sensation. The long stream-lined bud, en- 
hanced by ornamental sepals, is of rich 
gold without shading. Petals are large and 
tough, but not numerous, averaging 20 to 
25, with more in the Autumn. One of the 
most popular of the new patented H. T. 
varieties. Gold medal American Rose So- 
ciety. Ea. $1.25. 
Rex Anderson (Plant Patent 335). (Retails 
$1.25 each.) Handsome buds and Roses 
of great size. Cream, turning pure white 
with age. Blooms are several on each stem 
and come in rapid succession. The plant 
is very vigorous with handsome dark green 
foliage.

Golden Dawn 

Rose bushes, like all other plants, 
are susceptible to many diseases. Para- 
sitic organisms may attack any portion 
of the plants—roots, stems, leaves, or 
blossoms. The presence of disease is 
revealed by the discoloration of the 
foliage, the failure of the buds to de- 
velop normally, or the death of por- 
tions of the stems. Therefore, persons 
who desire to grow Roses either for 
their beauty in the garden or for their 
commercial value, should have some 
knowledge of the causes of such dis- 
eases and the methods by which they 
may be prevented or controlled.
