Caroline Testout — This is the Rose that has 

 given Portland, Oregon, the name "The Rose City."

 large, full globular flower of a bright satiny-rose, 

 very free and fragrant.

 buds and large, full flowers of an intense, rich, daz- 

 zling crimson-scarlet. Very sweet scented.

 stems. Large size and of perfect form. Deep im- 

 perial pink, the outside of the petals silvery rose- 

 white. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria — Splendidly formed 

 flowers and buds on long stems. Soft pearly-white 

 with just enough lemon in the center to relieve the 

 white. Very fragrant. 



Killarney Brilliant — An improvement on Kil- 

 larney, being larger and more double, also more 

 intense in color, which is a rich glowing shade of 

 rosy-carmine ; fragrant.

 by everyone. Perfect in form, color, size, freedom

 produced on every shoot. Color a distinct shade of 

 flesh-pink; tea scented.

 finest Roses ever introduced. The growth is very 

 "vigorous and it produces a continuous succession of 

 long-stemmed flowers, of a luminous flame-pink, 

 toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at 

 the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it 

 equals in intensity the finest Marechal Neil. The 

 buds are long and pointed and expand into a flower 

 of mammoth proportions, while the beauty of form 

 and ever-increasing wealth of color is maintained 

 from the incipient bud until the last petal drops.

 International Exhibition, London, May, 1912. A 

 most distinct and novel Rose. The buds are coral- 

 red, shaded with yellow at base. The medium 

 sized open flowers are semi-double and of a superb 

 coral-red, shaded with yellow and bright rosy- 

 scarlet, passing to shrimp-red. 



Radiance — An ideal American bedding variety. 

 A clean, healthy grower, producing its flowers freely 

 even under the most adverse weather conditions. In 

 color, a brilliant carmine-pink and of good form. 

 Truly a Rose for every garden.

 cept in color, which is a clear cerise-red.
