HON. LADY LINDSAY—tThe Delicacy of Dresden. 
HONSEADY LINDSAY. Shrub: (1888.) 4 -95 feet 
This honerable lady justifies all the catalog space we are giving her. 
She has every quality which goes to make up the superlative—wonder- 
fully healthy, a divine form, and the most delicate soft-pink coloring 
imaginable. (Pardon me, Mr. Catalog-writer, are you describing the rose 
or the lady?) 
Says Lila McCombs, Turlock, California—Even this first season, clusters 
of pointed buds constantly covered the shrub ... The Dresden delicacy of coloring 
and exquisite form were a rare delight.” 
And from good friend and strong critic George Lippincott, Cape May, 
N.J., “A gorgeous rose that keeps on blooming in the full seashore sun.” 
Still unconvinced?—then we will add—‘About the Hon. Lady Lindsay, 
should a friend of mine fail to respond to her delicate beauty, I would not choose 
such a person as a companion for a piano recital of Debussy or Ravel ... or an exhibit 
of Renoir’s paintings, or a reading from the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay, for 
they would not comprehend their subtle beauty.”—Jack Medlock, Long Beach, 
California. yas 
HONORINE DE BRABANT. Bourbon. 5 feet. 
Again we are indebted to our good English rose-friend, George S. Thomas 
for a lovely newcomer to our increasing collection of striped roses—'’palest 
lilac-rose with crimson stripes.” Good plant, profuse all-season bloomer, 
especially fine in autumn. Covered with flowers as I write. Ty Aa) 
HUGONIS. Golden Rose of China. 6 - 7 feet. 
Its long, graceful canes and delicate fern-like foliage would be reason 
enough to grow this shrub rose, even without the great spring crop of 
lovely, single, pale-yellow blooms. Rated among the three best shrub 
roses in England. 
The chill of winter is never out of my bones until Father Hugo blooms.”—Lois 
Spencer, Chicago. 3 for, 5:20. ‘each 2.00 
JOHN HOPPER. H. Perpetual. (1862.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Another of those typical vigorous, bushy plants to catch our fancy. Unusual 
for its bright rose tones and lilac shadings—large, double and intensely 
_ fragrant. Repeats if it likes you... and your fault if it doesn’t. These big 
hybrid perpetuals are the friendliest of all roses. N79
