•RADIANCE. H.T. See illustration. Rose-pink. The 

 most universally popular Rose in America. The first 

 and most appealing quality of Radiance is its continu- 

 ous bloom, from June until hard frost. Add to this a 

 plant unsurpassed by any in healthy, vigorous growth, 

 and you have a Rose that can be successfully grown 

 by anyone, even those who will simply plant it and 

 let it take care of itself. Two-toned pink, cupped flowers 

 are produced in endless succession. Pungent, true Rose 

 fragrance. 25 petals. 75 cts. each.* 



• RED RADIANCE. H.T. See illustration. Cerise-red. 

 A sport of Radiance, it has the same form, habit of 

 growth, fragrance, and healthy foliage. The difference 

 is in the color which is a clear, even shade of cerise- 

 red that harmonizes beautifully with the color of 

 Radiance so they can be planted together without any 

 jarring note. 25 to 30 petals. 75 cts. each.* 



•SOEUR THERESE (Sister Therese). H.T. See 



illustration below. Yellow. Long -pointed buds are 

 chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the open 

 flower is rich daffodil-yellow and holds its color well. 

 Sweetbriar fragrance. The blooms come freely on splen- 

 did cutting stems. You can always recognize this Rose 

 from its habit of forming sturdy, 3-foot, upright canes 

 which are topped with a "lighted" candelabra of 5 or 

 more burning yellow blooms. 20 to 25 petals. $1 each.*
