• MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. II.T. Golden 

 yellow. See color illustration page 9. Winner of more 

 Gold Medals lor outdoor blooms than any other 

 Rose ever ^rown. The bud is long-pointed, rich 

 reddish gold, almost orange in the depths of the 

 petals, and it holds its color well to the end. Foliage 

 is very ornamental, healthy, and extremely disease- 

 resistant. The bush is never unkempt, but is com- 

 pact and well covered with foliage. This is the most 

 continuous blooming \ellow Hybrid Tea. Its 

 characteristics make it the most desirable in its 

 color. It will produce as many flowers as any Rose 

 in the garden. $1 each. 



• MRS. WARREN E. LENON. H.T. Rich 

 pink. A splendid Rose, remarkable for its vigor of 

 growth and disease-resistant foliage. The color of 

 the large, well-formed flowers is rich cerise-pink 

 which does not get muddy. Long-stemmed, delight- 

 fully fragrant blooms for cutting are produced 

 almost continuously. 75 cts. each. 



• NATIONAL FLOWER GUILD. H.T. Crimson. 

 This Rose was tested at Breeze Hill Gardens and 

 Dr. J. Horace McFarland said of it: "It is not the 

 most beautiful red Rose that ever happened, but it 

 is certainly among the most vigorous of its type, 

 with a fine habit of constant and well-handled 

 bloom." The blooms are large and constantly 

 produced. 75 cts. each. 



• NUNTIUS PACELLI. H.T. White. The most 

 satisfactory white Rose we have been able to find.

 fragrant flowers of creamy white which soon turn 

 pure white. Nice plants which are nearly always 

 in bloom. 75 cts. each.

 double blooms of rich pinkish apricot, lighter at 

 edges of petals. 75 cts. each.

 own description: "A rich, deep crimson Rose with 

 a velvety sheen, suitable alike for garden, bedding, 

 and exhibition. Large, full, and beautifully formed. 

 Free, bushy growth and the flowers are borne 

 profusely all season on strong stems." $1 each. 



• PRESIDENT HOOVER. H.T. Multicolored. 

 Although introduced only two years ago, this Rose 

 has already proved itself one of the very best 

 garden Roses we have. The tall, healthy plants 

 produce an unexpected quantity of beautiful 

 blooms. The large, fully double flowers are a delight- 

 ful combination of scarlet, yellow, cerise-pink, and 

 flame. These colors are so blended that the full- 

 blown flower has a very soft but rich eff^ect. Exqui- 

 site fragrance. A wonderful display in the garden 

 and a perfect Rose for cutting. $1 each. 



•Mrs. G. A. Van Rossem. See description, page 10 



•RADIANCE. H.T. Rose-pink. The most 

 universally popular Rose in America. Vigorous and 

 hardy, with persistent, healthy foliage and fragrant 

 pink blooms. It is the amateur's Rose par excellence. 

 75 cts. each. 



• RAPTURE. H.T. Pink and yellow. A deeper 

 colored edition of Mme. Butterfly. Fine plants, 

 long stems, and few thorns make Rapture an ideal 

 cut-flower. Yellow, pink, and coral on a cream 

 background is the way to describe Rapture. 75 cts. 



•RED RAX>IANCE. H.T. Cerise-red. A sport 

 of Radiance, it has the same form, habit of growth, 

 fragrance, and healthy foliage. The difference is in 

 the cerise-red color. 75 cts. each. 



• REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. H.T. Carmine 

 and yellow. A wonderfully beautiful Rose with 

 fragrance to remember. The shapely buds are 

 Indian yellow, washed with deep carmine which 

 spreads as the buds unfurl. Blooms come singly on 

 long, strong stems, making it ideal for cutting. The 

 plant is inclined to be temperamental and requires 

 special attention to make it do its best. $1 each. 



•RICHARDSON WRIGHT. H.T. Pearl-pink. 

 This member of the Editorial Trio had two very 

 popular Roses for parents. Radiance and Ville de 

 Paris. The famous author, editor, and plant-lover

 President of the American Rose Society for next 

 year. The Rose is iridescent pearl-pink with a golden 

 flush on the lower part of the petals. It is fully 

 double, and the blooms usually come alone on a stem. 

 Fragrant. The plant is strong and healthy, as it should 

 be with Radiance for one of its parents. $L50 each.

 pink sport of Columbia. Fragrant flowers on nearly 

 thornless stems and fine keeping qualities make 

 this a popular cut-flower. 75 cts. each.
