/flElflyA-DREERj; SELECT-^OSBS I 125 This Year's New Hybrid-Tea Roses Continued Introductions of The Rose World's Most Noted Specialists Norman Lambert (McGredy, 1926). A distinct color combi- nation that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep chrome- yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon- orange suffused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. The flowers are of medium size and form, deliglitfully fragrant and free-flowering. A splendid bedder. $1.00 each. *Patience (McGredy, 1927). One of the finest Roses of recent introduction. Its splendid long pointed buds are of a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms that shade from orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine at the edges. It is of strong robust habit with glossy holly-like foliage and extremely free flowering for a Rose of its large size. $1.00 each. Polly (Beckwith, 1927). A splendid Rose of the Ophelia type that will become a general favorite. Buds long and of perfect shape, the centre golden j'ellow passing to a tender flushed pink towards the edges; as the large full fine flowers develop the golden base comes well up on the petals, the outer petals pass to a creamy white with just the faintest touch of pink. A strong healthy grower and free bloomer. Sweetly scented. $1.50 each. Portadown (JMcGredy, 1928). A deep crimson with velvety sheen having large, full, beautifully formed flowers, reminding one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous free bloomer with dark green foliage. SI-50 each. Portadown Bedder (McGredy, 1929). The petals are orange- yellow on the outside, with a ricli cerise flush that deepens to- wards the edge, and inside there is a suffusion of glowing scarlet- cerise on an orange ground, the blend of colors giving a warm tone to the whole flower, which is of moderate size, good form and thick texture of petals. They are very freely and continu-. i)u-ly produced and are fragrant. $1.50 each. Portadown Ivory (McGredy, 1929). A model flower, a creamy white of soft and delicate tone that merges into a light yellow base, a color section in which there has been little or no develop- ment in recent years. It is free and perpetual flowering. $2.50 each. Rosella Sweet (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). Large ovoid bud developing to a splendid large, well-formed, attractive flower of a luminous capucine yellow, with delicate salmon pink suffusion and of strong delicious fragrance. The fine flowers are borne singly on strong stiff stems, the plant is of vigorous upright habit with healthy dark green glossy foliage. $1.50 each.

New Hybrid-Tea Rose. Lady Forteviot. See page 124 Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- velously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not found in any other variety, a most striking blending of dark vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with fre- quently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect formation both in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. $1.50 each. Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flowers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom of flowering reminds one of the same raiser's popular bedding variety. Souvenir de Georges Pernet, excepting in color which is much lighter, being a pretty shrimp or coral pink on an Orange-copper base. $1.50 each. Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1931). An outstanding this year's introduction of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright coppery red in the very long, shapely tapering bud that develops into a large full double flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, free and con- tinuous bloomer. $1.50 each. Monarch (Dobbie, 1926).

Growth vigorous, bushy habit and a con- tinuous bloomer. $1.50 each. Mrs. John Bell (John Befl, 1928). A Rose of exceptional merit, of a most attractive vivid shade of cochineal carmine, with large* long pointed shapely buds and very large full double cupped shapely fragrant flowers borne singly on good stems.
