Harry Kirk. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1907). Lovely buds of elegant shape and substance, opening to deep straw-yellow, semi-double, cupped blooms of great size, with some fragrance. Bush erect and strong; foliage good; plant is hardy. A tea Rose with distinctly Hybrid Tea character, especially in hardiness, shape, and carriage of bloom. An excellent bedding variety, and delightful if cut when half-open. 13 petals.

[as per their 1931 listing, but with the addition of:]
Harry Kirk. Does well in northern gardens.

p15-2-2. Hawlmark Crimson. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1920). Pointed buds of intense crimson, with vivid maroon markings, opening to crimson-scarlet, almost single blooms of excellent form with penetrating fragrance. Plant tall and branching, blooming quite freely.
The gorgeous, cupped flowers are large and the brilliant dark color is very enduring. We consider it one of the most effective dark bedding Roses. 12 petals.

p25-1-2. President Jac Smits ....borne singly on long wiry stems.... of the same type as Hawlmark Crimson with smaller and better shaped flowers.

New Everblooming Roses .... HON. LADY LINDSAY. Shrub. (Niels J. Hansen, 1938.) Propagation rights reserved. This Rose with unusual characteristics is a cross between Dr. W. Van Fleet and Rev. F. Page-Roberts, differing markedly as a
plant from both parents. It is an almost everblooming shrub or pillar Rose. The blooms in form, petalage and make-up are
more nearly like Rev. F. Page-Roberts, yet less yellow, and pink soon dominates as they age. Its lasting foliage and frequent bloom allows its use in many places (but not with Hybrid Teas). 30 to 40 petals. See in color on page 4. $1.50 each.

Imperial Potentate. HT (Clarke Bros., 1923. A firm-petaled bloom of dark shining rose-pink, shaded lighter on reverse of petals; fragrant. Erect, branching plant with very good healthy foliage. Grows well, blooms with remarkable freedom, and the flowers have plenty of substance for cutting. Without liking it particularly at first, we have been compelled to admit its good qualities and to concede it a high place in our regard. 55 petals.

Hybrid Teas, or Monthly Roses
Indiana. Deep pink with suspicion of orange; large flowers with high center; vigorous growth with good foliage; flowers continually until frost. 50 cents each.

‘Jonkheer J. L. Mock’. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1908) Crimson buds of gigantic size, opening very slowly to enormous blooms of deep vinous-pink against which the reflexing petals show an inner surface of silver-rose. Plant strong and healthy.
A massive Rose of marvelous substance, noted for its great size, doubleness and strong coloring. It is very likely to ball in all but the most favorable weather, and the midsummer bloom is rather shy. Nevertheless it is a marvelous Rose in some gardens. 75 petals.

‘Julien Potin’. HT (Pernet-Ducher), 1927) Pointed buds of deep yellow, and cupped flowers of primrose, shaded darker, borne on strong stems. Vigorous, upright plant; profuse bloomer and appears to be very resistant to disease. Of the same type as ‘Ville de Paris’, but more vigorous. The flowers do not always develop perfectly because of weather or local conditions, but where the plants are happy, the blooms are superb. 48 petals. $1 each.

‘Kootenay'.....somewhat larger than 'Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria', which it resembles.

Konigin Luise HT. (Christoph Weigand, 1927). Very large, ovoid buds and double, high-centered, snow-white flowers, only fainted tinted with lemon in the center. Bushy and extremely free flowering.
We consider this variety remarkably fine among the new white Roses. The flowers are very large, double, and of exquisite form. Like all full white Roses, it is inclined to ball in wet weather, but we consider it one of the finest of its color. 50 petals. Illustration facing page 21. $1.50 each.
