A Rose of great merit. There are many pink Roses but none just like this new variety either ^ in color or in the splendid formation of its blooms. The flowers are large, over five inches in diameter, of great depth, with high spiral centre, the petals having a peculiar twist or curl give the large bloom a most graceful appearance. In color it is a luminous rich rose pink, retaining its brightness until the petals drop; the flowers are carried singly on long stiff stems. A strong, healthy, hardy, vigorous grower and free and perpetual flowering. $ each. . Swansdown (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal white which in the autumn has just a tint of cream at the base of the petals. The buds are large, very long pointed of perfect shape, composed of large heavy petals and develop into splendid full very sweetly-scented flowers of spiral formation. Its growth is vigorous. In freedom of flowering Messrs. Dickson state that they do not know any other Rose of its size that will produce flowers in such profusion. $ each. Talisman (Montgomery Co., 1929). The Rose of many Gold Medals. It is the most remarkable piece of coloring that we know in any Rose; a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old-rose. The outside of the petals is bright yellow, gold, and pink; as the flower develops and the petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, deep rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most Roses the color becomes brighter as the flowers develop. The bud is long, perfectly formed, averag- ing about 25 to 28 petals, the plant is a strong, vigorous grower with glossy green foliage and free flowering. $ each. Vaterland (Pfitzer, 1928). The most distinct dark colored variety yet introduced, deeper and richer in effect
