New American Hybrid-Tea Rose Miss Lolita Armour ROSE MARIE (Domer. 1918) (Illustrated in colors on the plate opposite) We first saw this beautiful Rose in California in 1919, where its remarkable freedom of bloom and its beautiful buds and well-formed flowers of a pleasing clear rose-pink arrested our attention. We distributed a limited number of plants the past season and have received many favorable reports, and our own experience with it during the past season has been most grati- fying, and we have no hesitancy in pronouncing it the best bed- ding Rose of its color to-day. It produces ideal long buds which open into large flowers of splendid form; a valuable acquisition. Strong two-year-old plants, $ each. Wll,^l F. DRBBR (Howard & Smith, 1920) A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as Los Angeles, and which, for delicacy of coloring, is not com- parable to any other variety, it reminding one of the delicate tints of some varieties of water lilies. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages of development, are at their best in the half-expanded flower. These, in expanding, are of a soft, silvery shell-pink, the base of the petals of a rich golden-yellow which, at certain stages of development, gives a golden suffusion to the entire flower, this golden suffusion being particularly brilliant early and late in the season. We have received numerous favorable comments on this variety, among which we particularly appreciate one received from the President of the American Society, who says : "I certafnly wish to congratulate you on the Rose William F. Dreer, a vase of which I have on my desk at this writing. There is in it a charm of wonderful color, form and fragrance.
