THREE RADIANT ROSES 



In the set of "Radiant'' Roses described below and shown in colors on the plate opposite, Mrs. William C. Egan introduced by us 

 in 1922 has since that time made a wonderful record as a bedding variety and exceptionally so in late summer and autumn when its soft 

 tinted colors are particularly beautiful and intense and pronounced. Padre is an English introduction of 1920 and is remarkable not 

 only for its unique and brilliant color but also for its strong vigorous growth and its freedom of bloom. It produces more flowers than any 

 other Hybrid-Tea Rose that we know. Constance. This beautiful Rose was introduced in France in 1915 but did not becomejpopular 

 due to the fact that it did not prove satisfactory when budded on Multiflora or Manetti stocks. As now grown by us on what is known as 

 the "Ragged Robin" it is a vigorous healthy grower and one of the best deep yellow bedding Roses grown. 



Constance 



A free-flowering variety, producing beautiful long orange- 

 yellow buds of perfect form, as they develop they open to a full 

 globular flower of golden-yellow, and as now grown by us budded 

 on the "Ragged Robin" stock it is one of the best yellow garden 

 Roses. SI .50 each. 



Mrs. William C. Egan 



An extremely vigorous strong healthy grower, with long, pointed 

 buds of absolutely perfect form, that develops into flowers of good 

 shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the reverse of the petals 

 a soft light pink, the interior deep flesh color with a golden line 

 at the base of the petals; the flowers are carried on long, stiff 

 stems, and last in good condition for an unusually long time, either 

 cut or on the plant; an e.'sceptionally free and continuous bloomer. 

 $1.00 each. 



Padre ]^ 



One of the finest bedding Roses of recent introduction. Our 

 colored illustration on the plate opposite, while doing justice to 

 its beautiful form does not fully convey its beautiful and novel 

 coloring in which it is entirely different from any other Rose; 

 this being a brilliant coppery-red flushed with yellow at the base, 

 a color combination that appeals to everyone. It is of vigorous 

 habit of growth and will produce more flowers than any other 

 variety of the Hybrid-Tea class. The beautiful long buds are 

 borne on long stiff stems and are splendid for cutting as well as 

 for garden decoration. SI -50 each. 



SPECIAL OFFER. One strong two-year-old plant each 

 of the Three Radiant Roses for S3. 50 or the Three Radiant Roses 

 and the Three Regal Roses offered on page 129 for $7.00.

Mr. McGredy, in first offering this novelty, stated that he has 

 never offered a new variety with greater pride. His own descrip- 

 tion follows. "Its merits are so great that it stands quite by 

 itself among the many beautiful varieties of its class, the most 

 wonderful coloring, the most perfect shape and form, together with 

 its marvelous freedom of blooming and habit of growth, a combi- 

 nation ideal of perfection in a Rose. Rising from a ground work 

 of soft flesh-cream, the whole flower has a clear sheen of bright 

 rose, deeply impregnated and washed vermilion, with clear 

 vermilion veining on the petals, which are really wonderful for 

 depth, size, and substance; the largest and most pointed of all 

 Roses of its type; sweetly scented. Sl-SOeach.

A beautiful creamy white with very large, long buds of faultless 

 form developing into large full flowers of good shape. The plant is 

 a strong vigorous grower of upright branching habit, very free-

 of England in 1919. $1.50 each.
