HARDY ROSES 



Ike. Pd&cd ^l044A&l 



A flower, to be ideal, must possess four outstctnding characteristics. Above all, it should be of pleasing 

 form and color — it should be fragrant — it should be long lasting after being cut — and it should have such 

 constitutional virtues as to grow thriftily and bear many flowers with a minimum of care. The one flower 

 that combines all these desirable qualities in an extraordinary degree is the Rose — and therein lies its 

 popularity with the peoples of many lands. 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING or HYBRID TEA ROSES 



The most popular of all Roses, blooming through the entire summer, right up until the first severe frost. 

 Although hardy, these Roses do best if given some protection in winter. Simply heap soil to a height of 8 

 inches about each plant in late fall, leveling some off, of course, in early spring. Plant in rich, well-drained 

 soil, always in full sunlight. Space about 2 feet apart. 



We are especially proud, this season, to feature the gorgeous new Hybrid Tea Rose, PINK DIAMOND. 

 The startling beauty of this outstanding new sort will, we feel sure, prove a source of great joy to all who 

 possess it. 



All Roses offered are extra strong, 2 years old, field-grown plants, bound to produce a splendid display 

 of bloom this summer, and for many succeeding summers. 



PINK DIAMOND ROSE 



(Patent applied for) 



(Originated by the successful Rose Hybridizers, 

 Howard & Smith) 



We are proud to introduce to our patrons the spectacular 

 new Hybrid Tea Rose, Pink Diamond. 



The large, bright pink buds produced by this marvelous 

 variety open to soft apple-blossom-pink blooms of great 

 size, the center petals being more intense in color than the 

 outer petals, which are almost blush, and a soft golden 

 glow rising from the base of the petals. The well formed 

 blooms frequently measure 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and 

 appear in greatest profusion. The plants are of the same 

 upright growth as the Talisman Rose, but are even more 

 robust, and are decidedly resistant to attacks of fungous 

 disease. 



In our rose fields, Pink Diamond has created more favor- 

 able comment on the part of visitors than has any other 

 variety, and we feel sure this splendid sort will prove to 

 be one of the most valuable of all Roses ever introduced. 

 Each S1.50 3 for $3.75
