The CreamliOf the New Roses
We here offer what Is grood in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses.
ALEXANDER HILL, GRAY (Alex.
Dickson, 1911.) — The respect of
all Rose lovers warrants the Is-
suing of a champion Rose, and a
Tea at that, to pay due homage
to one of the world's greatest
Tea Rose growers. It ij wonder-
fully floriferous, every shoot be-
ing crowned with a flower bud.
which develops into a bloom of
very large size, great substance
and perfect formation, with high
pointed center from which the
petals gracefully reflex. The best
and largest pure yellow Tea Rose
yet introduced. Its color is a
solid deep throughout "Marechal
Neil"-like lemon-yellow; strong-
ly tea scented. Gold medal N. R.
S. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50
cts.
AVIATEUR MICHEL MAHIEU
(Soupert & Notting, 1913.)— Cor-
al-red with vivid center, large, of
perfect form; very fragrant:
growth vigorous, very florifer-
ous. An invaluable Rose for all
purposes. 25 cents; two-year
plants, 60 cts.
BRITISH QUEEN (McGredy, 1912.)— We quote the introducer's description: "Experts
who have seen British Queen growing, agree that it is the finest white Rose in
existence, surpassing in beauty and elegance of form all other white varieties. The
freedom with which it blooms is remarkable. It is in flower from June until
winter, and on well cultivated plants the blooms are a model of perfection. The
type of flower is between White Maman Cochet and Frau Karl Druschki. with Tea
Rose form and refinement ; frequently in the bud state it shows a slight flush ;
this disappears as the flower opens into purest whiteness. It is a good grower and
sweetly scented. Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose Society of England.
20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts.
CHANOINE BINET DE ROYS (Perdriolle, 1913.)— Brilliant crimson, shaded velvety
crimson. Hardy and floriferous; one of the very best of this shade. 25 cts.; two-
year plants, 60 cts.
CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEAT (Pernet Ducher, 1908.)— You have all been looking
for the black Rose, and here it is. The most wonderful color and texture even seen
in a Rose; looks as if cut out of heavy velvet with a color shading from deepest
velvety maroon- red to blackish-crimson. We are sure it will become one of the
most popular of garden Roses, quite in a class by itself, blooming continuously in
crops closely following one another. It is of fine shape, good size and the richest
colored of all Roses, being fifty per cent darker than Prince Camille de Rohan and
Jubilee; quite fragrant. With us the foliage of this Rose is absolutely resistant to
black spot and mildew; in a class by itself for this reason alone. 25 cts.; two-year
plants, 50 cts.
CHRISSIE iMACKELLAR (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)— A gorgeously beautiful Rose, com-
bining in charming combination the following tones, tints and colors; Crimson-
carmine, deep rich ochrey-madder, becoming a delicate but bright orangey-pink as
the flower develops. It is one of the most delightfully color-toned Roses we have
had the pleasure of seeing. It is strongly and deliciously pure primrose-tea scented.
25 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts.
COLLEEN (McGredy, 1914.) — Brilliant rose, shaded rose-pink with deeper rose-
crimson veneering and distinct creamy-yellow ground, never fading until the petals
drop. The flower is quite full with enormous petals and high pointed center,
forming the noblest and most remarkable flower among Roses. Very free blooming
and smooth. Gold medal Rose of the National Rose Society of England 1913. 35 cts.;
