For Prices on Potted Plants for Spring Delivery See March Wholesale List NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE OL YMPIAD {Mme. Raymond Gaujard) One of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher's seedlings that did not develop its bloom until after this great rosarian passed away in 1929. It was shown in Prance under the name Mme. Raymond Gaujard, but will now be known as Olympiad which name has* been adopted in connec- tion with the International Olympic games which will be held in California this season, the year of the distribution of this grand new Rose. The entire American stock of this variety is con- trolled mutually by Messrs. Howard & Smith and ourselves, as have been all of Mr. Pernet-Ducher's introductions since 1921. We believe Olympiad to be the sensa- tional Rose of the decade and the out- standing novelty of 1932. The color is absolutely unique—a lustrous dark orien- tal scarlet, its depth and warmth ac- centuated by a bright golden base. This richness is further intensified by a mar- velous velvety sheen that renders the flower exceedingly effective especially in; artificial light, with a scarlet glow of flame-like brilliancy. The distinctive beauties of Olympiad, con- spicuous though they are, have been found indescribable even by the experts; words cannot convey a true and accurate conception either of its bizarre and exquisite coloring or its superb form. It is the Rose Of supreme loveliness and cannot be visualized but must be seen. The bud is long and pointed, the petals are very broad, and the blossom is magnificent in every stage of development. It is long-stemmed, a splendid keeper, and a peerless cut-flower. TTie plant is amply furnished with healthy, handsome dark-green
