THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES— Continued.
-yea
GOLDEN EMBLEM (H. T.) — It is so perpetual
flowering that as a garden and bedding Rose
it is without a rival. At its best it surpasses
Marechal Niel in shape and formation, and
with its wonderful coloring is a most wonder-
ful Rose. The coloring is yellow cadmium
toning to sunflower-yellow. Altogether the
most striking as well as the most remarkable
variety among modern Roses. Awarded the
gold medal of the National Rose Society of
England, also the American Rose Society's
medal at Philadelphia, April, 1917, for the best
Rose not yet in commerce. 50 cents.
GOLDEN MEYER (H. T.) — A most charming
Rose of a deep golden-yellow. A fine garden
Rose and is also valuable as a cut flower. Very
free. 35 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.
GORGEOUS (H. T.) — Flowers large and full
quisitely formed and produced in endle
fusion. Deep orange-yellow and heavily
with reddish copper, the most charmii
gorgeous coloring which has yet been
duced. The most striking Rose in existe
Gold medal, N. R. S. 35 cents; two
plants, 50 cents.
HADLEY (H. T.) — In color 'it is a deep
velvety crimson, retaining its bril-
liancy at all seasons of the year. The
variety is double and buds are well
formed. The fragrance is excelled
only by American Beauty. It is a
strong, rapid grower, and the flowers
are borne on long, stiff stems. It has
proven itself under thorough trial to
be an all-the-year-round forcing va-
riety. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50
cents.
HARRY KIRK (T.) — A splendid Rose,
of most robust growth, with free-
branching habit, flowering freely and
continuously; the blooms are large,
■with large, smooth petals of great
substance; the form is perfect, the
buds long and elegant. Color, deep sulphur-
yellow, passing to a lighter shade at the edges
of the petals. Awarded a gold medal by the
National Rose Society of England. This Rose
is difficult to propagate, and will always, for
this reason, remain high in price, although
when once rooted and established, is a good
grower. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents.
HELEN TAPT (H. T.) — A rich cerise-pink.
Flower very large. A free bloomer and will
become as famous as a bedding Rose as is the
variety President Taft. Growth very strong.
Keep your eye on this variety. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 40 cents.
HERZOG JOHANN ALBRECHT (H. T.) — Cop-
pery-orange on a yellow ground, outer petals
changing to clear salmon-rose; large, very full,
of fine form, fragrant. Altogether a desirable
Rose.
H. F. EILERS — Outer petals carmine-rose; center
carmine and slate-blue-red. Buds very long
and pointed; flowers large and full with high
center.
H. V. MACHIN (H. T.)— A dazzling Rose of gigantic
size. Its intensely black grained scarlet-crimson
blooms we consider unique amongst all Roses.
Awarded gold medal, N. R. S., and several other
medals for best bloom. 25c; two-year plants, 50c.
HOOSIER BEAUTY (H. T.) — New red Rose. Tex-
ture like velvet, glowing crimson-scarlet, with
darker shadings. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cts.
IMOGEN (H. T.) — Orange-yellow in center, shading
towards the edge of petals to pale yellow and
creamy-white. A great acquisition to Roses of
its color. 35 cents; two year plants, 60 cents.
JOSEPHINE (H. T.) — Rosy-flesh, base of petals sal-
mon-yellow, large and full, of fine shape; fine
both for exhibition and decorative purposes. 25
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.
KILLARNEY BRILLIANT — The introducers are to
be congratulated sixteen years after the advent
of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty
which is undoubtedly the best of the Killarney
type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of
growth and the same freedom of bloom as its
parent, while the flower is more double. The
color is very brilliant pink and varies like Kil-
larney. In the garden in bright weather is clear
pink, and in dull weather almost a crimson. Ex-
tra. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.

LADY BOYVATER (H. T.) — Creamy-white suffused
pale apricot ; blooms very large, of conical form,
and carried erect. Extra fine. 50 cents; two-
year plants, $1.00.
LADY GREENALL (H. T.) — Intense saffron-orange,
heavily zoned and overspread on deep creamy-
white, reflex of petals faintly suffused delicate
shell-pink; a truly magnificent Rose. 20 cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.
LADY PLYMOUTH (Tea) — The color is a pearly,
delicate but deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed,
giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult to
describe. Awarded gold medal National Rose
Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal
Palace Show, London. 35 cents; two-year plants,
60 cents.
LOS ANGELES (H. T.) — Los Angeles is, by all odds,
one of the finest Roses ever introduced. The
growth is very vigorous, and produces a contin-
uous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a
luminous flame-pink toned with coral and shaded
with translucent gold at the base of the petals.
In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity the
finest Marechal Niel. The buds are long' and
pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth
proportions, while the beauty of form and ever
increasing wealth of color is maintained from
the incipient bud until the last petal drops. 35
cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.
LITCIEN CHAURE (H. T.) — Flesh illuminated with
clear rosy-cream; very large, of regular form:
free flowering. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50
