The firm of Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., has long been identified with the introduction of new forcing roses, having many successes to its credit: Killarney, President Carnot, Liberty, Double White Killarney, Killarney Brilliant and Irish Fire Flame were introduced by them and were leading varieties in all markets for years.

Hybrid Tea Roses.
Liberty
Brilliant velvety crimson- just what a Rose ought to be in the opinion of many Rose-growers. The blossoms are highly perfumed, the odor being penetrating and lasting. The flowers are of splendid form, large and full, produced in moderate frequency. The buds are peculiarly handsome in form, and when the calyx begins to opens and show the first faint touches of the brilliant coloring of the petals, one is prone to cut them at that time- impatient of waiting for the opening. However, the blooms are so perfectly formed, the petals are so thick and lovable, one can afford to wait for the blossoms. The growth of the plant is vigorous, with canes of medium height that are thick and heavy. Liberty is rightly considered one of the best Roses of the garden for cutting, on account of its long, sturdy stems, and it successfully competes with many of the finest greenhouse productions as a cut flower for the adornment of the home. For this reason it has been termed a general-utility Rose, if the term may be applied in floriculture, and a Rose that adds the touch of color that one looks for in a well-planned garden, and contrasts effectively with the lighter Roses. The compact, sturdy bush, bearing its wealth of fine, clean, dark green foliage, is in itself an addition to the garden, and it requires but little care.
