Pernet. Apricot. From ' sunny Spain. Unique in color. The pointed £ bud is deep apricot, darkened with orange. It opens slowly to a double, regularly im- bricated bloom of a uniform apricot without shading, showing golden stamens on maroon filaments in the center. The perfume is delightful, with a sweetness all its own. As the flower ages it gradually assumes a brilliant old-rose tint which remains pleasing, in artistic contrast with the younger blooms. Mari Dot is charming from the opening bud to the falling flower. The plant has a spreading habit, and, like Duchess of Wellington, makes an ideal bedder; when planted in close mass, the ground is entirely covered. The foliage is handsome, with a lustrous varnish, but it re- quires care to prevent it dropping in summer. In Philadelphia, June 12, 1929, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society awarded the Robert C. Wright Rose Medal to Mari Dot as the best bloom exhibited. $ each. • MISS ROWENA THOM. Rose-pink. This Rose promises to equal those of the Radiance type. Its ovoid buds open to very large, perfect, double flowers of much substance. The color is brilliant, dark rose-pink, with a golden glow at the base. It is exceptionally vigorous and is the closest rival to our old friend Radiance that we have seen. $ each. • MRS. G. A. VAN ROSSEM. Pernet. Orange. See in color on back cover. A trul
