RED RADIANCE— COLOR RICH ROSY RED 



Mme. Jules Bouche. Favorite white Rose of many 

 prominent growers. Fragrant and shapely, with 

 just a faint blush in its center; the blooms are pro- 

 duced in great abundance. 



Miss Rowena Thorn. (See colored illustration, page 

 11.) Huge flowers, yet very shapely, of a rich rosy 

 pink, suffused gold, and highly fragrant, are pro- 

 duced in profusion on a healthy plant. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. An old favorite, with glorious 

 orange-copper buds, ideal for boutonnieres, pass- 

 ing to full flowers of yellow and pink. A dwarf 

 compact bush which produces heavily. 



Mrs. Charles Bell. This shell-pink sport of the popular 

 Radiance matches its parents in health and pro- 

 lific bloom, with a delicate color which is all its 

 own.

 President Plumcocq. Among the worthiest of 

 newer Roses, this upright bush bears ovoid buds 

 of coppery buff which pass to big flowers of the 

 same color, but with an overglow of deep sal- 

 mon. Flowers are fragrant, long lasting, and 

 produced in abundance. Each 80c, doz. $8.00. 

 Radiance. Most satisfactory of Roses, with shapely 

 flowers of two-toned pink, pungently fragrant, 

 on the healthiest and most continually blooming 

 of plants. 



Red Radiance. With all of Radiance's good qual- 

 ities, plus a rich rosy red color, small wonder 

 that this hardy sort is the favorite Rose of 

 millions. 



Rev. F. Page-Roberts. Rich golden Roses, stained 

 red on their exteriors, and bearing ripe-apple 

 fragrance. Each 80c, doz. $8.00. 

 Roslyn. Shapely flowers of deep golden yellow, 



borne individually on long stems, good for cutting. 

 Sister Therese. Long-pointed copper-pink buds turn 



to lemon-yellow blooms, amazingly well shaped 



and ideal for corsage, lasting well when cut. A 



thoroughly splendid Rose. 

 Souvenir de Claudius Pemet. These unfading yellow 



Roses are still the most popular of their color, being 



shapely, fragrant, and produced in abundance. 

 Syracuse. A tall plant bears many attractive buds 



and flowers of rich scarlet. 



Talisman. A wealth of multicolored flowers from 

 scarlet and gold to deep pink and lemon-yellow 

 are borne on this most popular of Rose bushes. 



Mrs. E. P. Thom. (See colored illustration on 

 back cover.) Each bloom is a clear yellow 

 masterpiece of fragrance and shapeliness, 

 from perfect buds. Healthy and vigorous, 

 this lovely sort is the best yellow bedding 

 Rose. 



Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. (See colored illustra- 

 tion, page 1 1 .) Long-pointed, reddish gold 

 buds, opening to semi-double, deep golden 

 yellow blooms. 



Pink Dawn. Solid and well-shaped buds of 

 rich pink turn into many glorious pink 

 flowers, based orange and sweetly fra- 

 grant, on a tall, healthy bush. Each $1.00, 

 doz. $10.00. Illustrated on page 5. 



President Herbert Hoover. (See colored illus- 

 tration, page 11.) Among the most colorful 

 of Roses, this favorite of ours bears many 

 blooms which are a riot of flame, orange, 

 gold, and cerise-pink. Shapely, fragrant 

 and lasting when cut, these flowers have 

 more than justified their popularity. 



PLANTING AND CULTURE OF ROSES 



All Roses except climbers should be pruned severely in the spring. 

 They bloom on the new season's wood, so old wood should be cut 

 hack one-half or more and all weak shoots cut out. Be sure to plant 

 with union of root and stock at least three inches below the surface of the 

 ground. Roses like clay or a medium heavy soil. 



SELECT AND PREPARE ROSE BEDS WITH CARE 



The Rose bed should be placed where it will have plenty of sunshine. 

 See that it is in a well drained position. Prepare the bed by deep spading. 

 Three feet is not too deep. This will allow for a layer of stones to help 

 drainage if needed. Fill the bed with alternate layers 

 of dirt and well-rotted monure, which should be thor- 

 oughly mixed and allowed to settle. 



Too deep Not deep enough Just right
