McGREDY'S IVORY. (Portadown Ivory.) ARS 78%. Medium. | 
Thought by many who should know, the finest white rose in commerce; 
rated with the best by the American Rose Society, and granted a First 
Class Certificate by the NRS of England. Long pointed buds, of creamy 
white, open to 28 petalled blooms of great distinction. 
A white rose should be big, handsome, and fragrant. McGredy’s Ivory 
is all three. 3 for 3.85 ‘ecene ia 
CLIMBING McGREDY’S IVORY. Cli. H. T. 10 - 15 feet. 
With a dearth of completely satisfactory hybrid-tea white climbers, the 
advent of a show rose in this color and class is most welcome and import- 
ant. I will spare you a repetition of my much-mentioned endorsement of 
climbers, but . . . well, I said I would spare you, so I will! |

Vintage 1933 but persists with undiminished popularity, both here and in 
England, where it has just been rated among the best five roses “For 
garden and exhibition blooms.”

Cork? 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
MME. BUTTERFLY. H. Tea. (1918.) ARS 74%. Medium. 
Delicately beautiful offspring of the famous parent, Ophelia—deeper in 
color, pink faintly tinted gold—of fine form and fragrance. Remembered | 
and wanted by many and included by the ARS with a 74% rating, in its | 
carefully selected list. Supply limited. 2.00 
CLIMBING MME. HENRI GUILLOT. Patent 788. ARS 80%. 15-20 feet. 
(Ahn-ree Ghee-yoh) (phonetics by ‘’Dixie.’’) We say without hesitation, 
this is one of the glossiest, healthiest, handsomest climbers it has been our 
privilege to grow and rave about. The large blooms are an indescribable s 
tone of dark coral-pink—a color unlike any other rose we know. Rated 
80% by the ARS, placing Mme. Guillot among the country's leading 
climbing roses. 3 for 5.25 each 2.00% 
MME. MELANIE SOUPERT. H. T. (Soo-pair.) Medium. 
Another beautiful French rose from Pernet-Ducher, prolific creator of many 
of the world's most famous roses. A lusty grower—the flower is very | 
large, well formed and fragrant, in unusual tones of yellow, apricot and 
salmon. Much too good to be only a printed name in rose history—could 
be a blue ribbon winner. 1.50 
“Would some power the giftie gie us 
Of a bug like big Antaeus 
Who'd by eating chafers free us 
Ere the roses bloom.”
