VESTAL’S HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
The following varieties, except where noted, 2-yr. field-grown budded pJants, $1.25 each; 12 for $13.50, postpaid 
Miss Rowena Thom. One of the largest plants 
among the Hybrid Teas, and the blooms are 
among the largest, being 5 to 6 inches across under 
ordinary conditions. They are a clear rose-pink 
with a lovely yellow base to each petal, and 
are delightfully fragrant. The big bushy plants 
are rather sprawling so they require a Jot of room, 
but they do produce an unusual quantity of 
flowers for such a Jarge Rose. 
Mme. Joseph Perraud. A richly colored, fragrant 
Rose, popular everywhere. The color of the large 
blooms is nasturtium-buff, an unusual shade. 
Spreading plants with heavy stems. 
Mirs. Charles Bell. Shell-pink-salmon sport of 
Red Radiance. A Rose that anyone can grow. 
The exquisite coloring of this Rose has never 
been matched. Like all the Radiances, it Is 
deliciously fragrant. Fool-proof plants. 
Mrs. E. P. Thom. Clear yellow flowers without 
any markings at all. The buds are long-pointed, 
opening to well-formed, fragrant blooms on good 
stems. The strong plant grows about 2 feet tall. 
Mirs. Pierre S. du Pont. This is, without question, 
the top yellow garden Rose im this country. The 
plants are about average in height but are bushy, 
clothed with attractive dark shiny foliage, and 
they bloom as continuously as a Hybrid Tea Rose 
ever does. They are fully double but not too full 
and carry a delightful spicy fragrance. Although 
the stems are not as long as some of the florists’ 
varieties, they are splendid cutting flowers. The 
golden color of Mrs. du Pont ts the deepest and 
richest of any Rose having real form. See color 
illustration on page 7. 
PEACE. Plant Pat. No. 591. This is one of the most 
appealing Roses ever introduced. The buds are 
coppery pink, but when the flower opens fully this 
pink is the edging of a beautiful, wide-petaled 
bloom of softest yellow. A warm pink light glows 
through the entire flower. The plant is very 
strong, with dark foliage. See color illustration 
on page 3. $2.00 each. 
Picture. This well-named Rose bears beautifully 
formed, medium-sized blooms of clear rose-pink. 
Vigorous,.bushy plants which produce an unusual 
quantity of bloom. A great Rose becoming 
popular everywhere because of the quantity of 
its beautiful buds. See color illustration on 
page 3. 
Poinsettia. The clear poinsettia-scarlet color of 
this Rose prompted its name. It has very pretty, 
Jong buds and flowers of a rich color and large 
size. The tall, healthy plants are good producers. 
See color illustration on page 2. 
President Herbert Hoover. There have been 
several tall bicolors since this Rose came out, but 
this is still the best of them. It is one of the 
tallest growing of all Hybrid Teas, carries healthy 
foliage, and produces its beautiful flowers on 
2-foot stems. Long-pointed buds open into large 
flowers that are a pleasant blend of soft yellow 
and rose-pink. There is a fragrance but it Is 
quite mild. A good Rose to plant in the back of 
the bed, and where long-stemmed flowers are 
wanted for cutting it is unexcelled. See color illus- 
tration on page 7. 
Radiance. The most popular of all garden Roses. 
Brilliant pink, shaded darker on the outer surface 
of the petals. Vigorous and always in flower. 

Red Radiance. Very stout, healthy plants, pro- 
ducing abundant crops of bright light rosy crim- 
son flowers shaped exactly like those of Radiance. 
Roslyn. This is one of the newer yellow Roses, doing 
especially well in the South. The flowers are large, 
of loose build, and are golden yellow shaded with 
orange on the reverse. Plants are of average bushy 
growth and are good producers. 
Senator Joe T. Robinson. This new Rose of ours 
has a plant of the type we have been breeding for 
strong and bushy with healthy foliage. Our 
customers who have bought this Rose agree that 
this seedling, which we named for our late be- 
loved Senator, is all that we claim for it. The 
beautiful flowers are of good size, nice form, a 
pleasing shade of dark red, and they are delight- 
fully fragrant. This is a Rose that we are proud 
of and believe that you will be pleased with it. 
See color illustration on page 3. $1.50 each, 
postpaid. 
Soeur Therese. The plants are rather awkward, 
branching here and there in every direction, but 
they are healthy and strong, so that the flowers 
do not droop. The blooms grow in short-stemmed 
clusters; they begin as chrome-yellow buds marked 
with carmine, which open to good-sized, Ioose, 
daffodil-yellow flowers. They are pleasingly fra- 
grant. Cutting one bloom stem of buds furnishes a 
whole bouquet at once. This Rose does unusually 
well in the South and is becoming very popular 
there. See color illustration on page 2. 
Talisman. This sensational Rose dominated the 
bicolor garden sorts for a Jong time, and it is 
still the most popular of the florists’ bicolor Roses. 
The plants are quite upright in growth, with 
pale green foliage and double, heavy-petaled 
flowers of scarlet and gold, changing with age to 
ivory-yellow and rose. They are fragrant and 
especially desirable for cutting. See color illus- 
tration on page 6. 
Tallyho. Plant Pat. pending. A lovely Rose in 
two tones of red—the outside of the petals varies 
from crimson to cardinal and the inside Is rose-red 
shading pink. Large and double, with rich spicy 
fragrance. Robust, upright grower. $2.50 each. 
Texas Centennial. Plant Pat. No. 162. This 
sport of President Herbert Hoover has Hoover’s 
strong growth, long stems, fine form and fragrance, 
but the color is Oriental red with a touch of gold 
at the base, and ages deep rich pink. 
Vestal’s Coral Gem. The vigorous plants branch 
freely, developing a full rounded plant which 
naturally is a free bloomer. So far we have not 
noticed either black-spot or mildew. The large, 
slightly globular, cupped flowers are a rare com- 
bination of geranium-red flushed orange with 
orange bases to the petals. The fragrance is mild. 
The bicolor Roses are popular everywhere and this 
is one of the loveliest of all of them. We believe 
you will like it. 
Vestal’s Torchlight. Nice form, lovely color, and 
a fine bushy plant that produces lots of bloom. 
The color is opalescent pink with a golden base to 
the petals. A grand garden Rose, and because of 
its fine form, beautiful coloring and good stems It 
is one of the nicest pink Roses for cutting. A bed 
of Torchlight will make a lovely garden picture 
and furnish quantities of splendid cut-flowers all 
summer and fall.
