TALLYHO! 
Tallyho. Pat. 828. Rated a resounding 94%, by the A.RS.! Certainly 
among the best of Herb Swim’s creations. Tallyho can be cited as one of the many 
recent beauties to prove the hybrid tea class is responding to the experts efforts, 
not only in new and more resplendent color, but in the health, vigor and productivity 
of the plants. Tallyho is a two-tone in rose carmine and those rich Grande Duchesse 
Charlotte shades; fragrance is really entrancing, and the plant quality is fully worthy 
of the Armstrong tradition. By now, you have guessed we /zke this rose. We do! 2.00 
The Doctor. The Doctor had to cross the big pond to England and back 
again, before it received due recognition in this country. Says N. P. Harvey, 
writing from England in the NRS annual, “What of the Doctor? I find that 
it appreciates rich soil, and the foliage is then more ample and growth stronger. The 
shape and the way the bloom develops and unfolds is quite distinctive—practically 
every one is perfect as regards form, while the colour is definitely maintained until 
the petals drop. The American Rose Annual rightly calls it ‘One of the largest of 
all Roses, one of the most beautiful, and one of the sweetest. ” 
Again, we are indebted to Austin Faricy of Cardiff-by-the-Sea—Something like 
Rubens’ Nymph would suggest better the feminine opulence of this rose. Its huge, 
serene flowers should be picked with a short stem to be displayed in silver or crystal 
and accorded the reverential treatment you give a magnolia or water-lily, with which 
it ranks, not only in proportions, but in its fragrance as well.” Thanks, Mr. Faricy. 
You have a way with words. 1.50
