SELECT BUSH NEW HDSES for 193G PICTURE Picture. The rows of this variety in our fields during the past summer were indeed a picture at all times, and we rate it as one of the very finest pink Roses. The plant is strong and vigorous and produces one continuous burst of bloom after another all through the season, every bud is perfectly formed and with plenty of petals so that the flowers are substantial and long-lasting without being too heavy. The color is not a cold color like so many pinks, but it has those warm undertones of salmon which make the color cheerful and glowing. The flowers have a sweet Tea fragrance which you cannot miss when you get anywhere near the plant. We like everything about this Rose, including its name. $1.00 each. Cathrine Eordes (Kordes, 1930). We all like roses with perfectly formed buds which are never misshapen and which keep for a reasonable length of time after they are cut. This splendid Rose has a lovely form, large size, and a delicate fruity fragrance, while its deep cherry red blooms, each petal faintly edged with silver, are borne with remarkable generosity on the big bushy, vigorous plants. The long stems and ideal buds make it a perfect cutting rose. $1.00 each. Gloaming (J. H. Nicolas, 1935). The first time that we saw this splendid new pink Rose we were much struck with its beauty and with the vigorous, luxuriant appearance of the plants, covered as they were with handsome large foliage. The growth is strong and vigorous, somewhat spreading but above medium height, while the flowers are very large, high-centered, quite double, in a rich shade of deep salmon-pink. We do not see how it con fail to please. U. S. Plant Patent No. 137. $1.50 each. Condesa de Sastago (Pedro Dot, 1933). Wherever this brilliantly colored Spanish Rose has been shown it has drawn Oh's and Ah's from those who have seen it, for its startling color combination is undoubtedly unique. The large, cup-shaped flowers, fairly double and yet not too heavy, are distinctly bi-colored, glowing orange-scarlet on the inside of the petals and an in- tensely bright yellow on the outside, but the breath-taking beauty of its brilliant flowers is not its only fine quality. The tall slender plants are ex- ceedingly strong and satisfyingly robust, and the flowers possess a sweet fragrance. The finest Rose that ever came out of Spain. $1.00 each. Heidekind (Berger, 1931). The most striking characteristic of this beautiful Rose is its bright clear pink color, one of the most beautiful pink shades in Roses. The medium sized, semi-double flowers are borne in clusters of six or eight, and since they are produced freely on the compact, bushy, well-foliaged plant, it makes a lovely spot of color in the garden. A bed of them is a beautiful sight. $1.00 each. Heinricb Wendland (Kordes, 1930). Here is a Rose for those who like their colors strong. The buds are a deep reddish-maroon, and they open to a riotously colorful bloom of fiery scarlet and rich yellow in various shades and combinations which vary with the weather but which are never dimmed even in the hottest sun. Not only are the colors strong but the plant is the same, and it is always in bloom. One of the roses of decisive characteristics which you will like or will not like, and we have found very few that do not like it. $1.00 each. Hiniich Gaede (W. Kordes, 1931). We can tell you that the general color effect in this flower is orange-scarlet, copper-orange, or luminous vermilion, but no matter how much we juggle the color adjectives, you could not possibly get an idea of the magnificence of its bloom, nor can the four colored inks used in the accompanying illustration begin to match its brilliant hues. It has a rich honey-sweet fragrance, and the quite double flowers are borne on long stems on a vigorous strong bush with excellent foliage. If you like Roses in these brilliant shades—and who doesn't—you cannot leave out Hinrich Gaede. $1.00 each. Kathetine Pechtold (Verschuren-Pechtold, 1934). Long, slen- der, perfectly formed buds of a delightfully rich shade of apricot-orange or terra-cotta. The flowers are not very double and have no fragrance, but the dainty loveliness of the buds makes it worth growing. A wide-spread plant of medium height. $1.00 each. Eidwai (Pernet-Ducher, 1933). For those who like a lovely color combination in delicate pastel colors, this new Rose will be a welcome acquisition. Large, full, exquisitely shaped buds of pale yellow, tinted with terra-cotta, iDeautiful in coloring from the time the bud appears until the last petal drops. We like it because of its dainty coloring, its big substantial buds, and long keeping quality. The bush is strong, medium height, somewhat spreading. 75r each. HDSES — 55 —
