 blooms of sparkling pink, each petal edged a little hghter. Very 

 dependable, healthy, and a continuous and hberal bloomer. 



Mme. Butterfly. (E. G. Hill, 1918.) One of the Roses which 

 everybody must have, with buds and blooms having fine 

 durable texture, and the color a mixture of pink, cream and gold. 



Mme. Caroline Testout. (Pemet-Ducher, 1890.) A famous old 

 sort, found in almost every garden. The flowers are satiny in 

 texture, large, fairly full, and bright pink. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Buds vivid 

 orange-scarlet, opening to large, semi-double flowers of Hght 

 copper-red, paling to strawberry-pink with age. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) A dainty httle 

 Rose of soft fawn-yellow, occasionally pahng to faint pinkish 

 cream, usually very double but varies somewhat. The plant 

 is dwarf, bushy, and especially valuable for edging beds of 

 taller Roses. 



Mrs. Ambrose Ricardo. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) A favorite 

 variety with Rose connoisseurs because of its giant golden 

 cream blooms of unusual incurved form which last well and 

 improve after cutting. 



Mrs. A. R. Waddell. (Pernet-Ducher, 1908.) A vigorous, 

 branching plant producing great quantities of large, semi- 

 double copper-pink and yellow flowers in sprays and clusters. 



Mrs. Charles Lamplough. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) A 

 vigorous bush, producing large, full, fragrant flowers of a 

 refined shade of soft lemon-yellow. .51.25 each.

 branching bushes produce freely their finely formed flowers of 

 bright pink with a suffusion of silvery pink. .11.25 each. 



Mrs. Wakefleld Christie-Miller. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) 

 Large, peony-like flowers of light pink and rose, produced 

 very freely on the tips of stout branching canes. One of the 

 most satisfactory Roses for garden decoration, enduring for 

 many years. 



Mrs. Wemyss Quin. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Excellent 

 buds and well-shaped blooms of strong lemon-yellow, keeping 

 their color until the petals drop. A wiry, branching bush 

 usually quite healthy. An especially fine Rose. 



Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the most popular 

 Roses ever grown, having pearly white blooms of inexpres- 

 sibly lovely form. In cool weather it is tinted with gold 

 and pink. 



Padre. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Handsome buds and large, 

 semi-double blooms of flashy, reddish copper, paling a Httle 

 with age to glowing copper-orange. The plants arc tall and 

 slender and should be grown close together in considerable 

 quantities to make a stunning show. $1.25 each.

 buds open charmingly to fully double, fragrant blooms of 

 orange-scarlet, suffused rich pini. $1.50 each. 



Radiance. (John Cook, 1908.) It seems scarcely necessary to 

 describe this most popular Rose in America. The blooms are 

 large, silvery pink and deep rose, fragrant, and borne with ex- 

 ceptional freedom on a strong plant. Perhaps the easiest varie- 

 ty to grow of those which produce blooms of good cutting 

 quality. 



Red Radiance. (A. N. Pierson, 1916.) A hght crimson sport of 

 Radiance, which it resembles in all particulars, and many con- 

 sider it superior to that variety in blooming quahties. This 

 variety, Radiance, and Mme. Butterfly are the backbone of 



many Rose-gardens. 



Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Golden yel- 

 low buds and blooms of the most glorious form, tinted on the 

 outside of the petals with reddish copper and bronze. An ex- 

 ceptionally fine variety in the autmnn and early in the season 

 and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Roses in 

 America. $1.50 each. 



Roselandia. (W. Stevens, 1924.) A glorified sport of Golden 

 Ophelia which it resembles in form of bloom. The color is 

 rich saffron-yellow, shaded apricot at the centre, sometimes 

 tinted red on outside of petals. 



Sensation. (J. H. Hill, 1922.) A giant, rich, blackish crimson 

 Rose originally intended for the florists' trade, but it has done 

 so well in the garden that it is being recommended by informed 

 Rose-growers as one of the best recent red varieties. The flow- 

 ers are massive and borne on good stems for cutting. 



Shot Silk. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1924.) Large blooms of 

 cerise-pink, overlaid with golden yellow and orange tints. A 

 Rose of very striking color and gorgeous decorative effect. The 

 plant is dwarf, robust, and has glossy fohage. $1.25 each. 



Sir David Davis. (S. McGredy & Son, 1926.) One of the best 

 of the new red Roses. The bush is tall and robust, with hand- 

 some foliage, and bears abundantly, medium-sized blooms of 

 dazzhng scarlet-crimson. $1.25 each. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) Light 

 lemon-yellow buds of exceptional form sometimes paling to 

 white at the edges and deepening to gold in the centre. A very 

 free-flowering, true yellow variety, which likes full sunshine 

 and warm, dry weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Giant 

 reddish pink buds and blooms of globular form with a pointed 

 centre and a touch of orange at the base of the petals. Re- 

 markable for its great size and comparative freedom of bloom. 

 The plants are dwarf and stocky. 



Ville de Paris. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) The vigorous plant 

 produces profusely very double, bright yellow flowers resem- 

 bling Radiance in form. All through the season this Rose re- 

 tains its richness of coloring and for cutting it is incompar- 

 ably beautiful. Awarded the coveted Bagatelle Rose Gardens 

 Gold Medal. $1.25 each. 



Wilhelm Kordes. (W. Kordes Sons, 1922.) A new Rose of 

 distinct and exquisite color — vivid salmon-pink, shaded and 

 splashed with orange and gold. The blooms are gloriously 

 formed and delightfully fragrant. The habit of growth is ex- 

 cellent, the plant being quite compact, yet vigorous. $1.25 ea. 



Willowmere. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Long-pointed buds and 

 blooms of glowing pink, suffused with yellow at the base of the 

 petals. Erect, vigorous growth. One of the showiest and most 

 prohfic bedding Roses which produces high-quahty blooms.
