IsoBEL—EVER CHARMING 

Henry Nevard. H. Perpetual (1924.) Garden Notes “Among 
the most important and worthwhile of our recent additions and a strong rival to 
General Jacqueminot and Prince Camille. The blooms are very large, full, of richest 
carmine aging slowly to amethyst tones characteristic of these old dark-red roses, 
except there is a lustre and life in the color superior to most of them.” Says Roy 
Shepherd—"Near the top of the heap in its class; intensely fragrant; nice plant- 
recurrent.” 1.50 
Hermosa. China. (1840.) Once again we call on Mrs. Keays to describe a 
favorite and delicately beautiful old rose. ‘Hermosa 1840, sometimes Armosa, for 
long years everybody’s darling and still the darling of many because of deep associa- 
tions; a Rose of so definite and pure a pink, or delicate rose-color, that ‘Hermosa- 
Pink’ has become a standard by which to translate a certain shade. Hermosa is very 
double, cupped, in a refined and perfect form, of small size, fragrant, lasting well, 
showing a very close relationship to the China rose, and sometimes classed as a China. 
Hermosa is a steady, consistent, generous bloomer, on shoots bearing branching 
clusters, always gay, fresh and cheerful.” 
“Each bloom is a work of art,” says Neville Miller, Palmerton, Pa. ... or was it 
Mrs. Miller—she’s the artist of the family. 1.50 
Hon. Lady Lindsay. Shrub. (1938.) Garden Notes—"We really have 
something here! Very distinctive, pale, dusky buff-pink; smartly formed flowers in 
clusters mostly of three; very glossy, ivy-green foliage. Rates among the best of our 
newer additions for its unusual color tones; strong tea fragrance.” 1.50
