Hardy Everblooming or Hybrid Tea Roses 



President Herbert Hoover. (See color illustration, page 2.) Among the most 

 colorful of Roses, the many blooms are a riot of flame, orange, gold and 

 cerise-pink. Shapely, fragrant and lasting when cut. Very popular, and 

 of strong, sturdy growth. 



President Plumcocq. Ovoid buds of coppery buff pass to big flowers of the 

 same color, but with an overglow of deep salmon. Flowers are fragrant, 

 long lasting, and produced in abundance. 



Radiance. Most satisfactory of Roses, the large cup-shaped flowers are 

 two-toned, light silvery pink within and deeper on the outside. Vigorous, 

 free-blooming and pungently fragrant. Tall. 



Red Radiance. With all of Radiance's good qualities, plus a rich rosy red 

 color, small wonder that this hardy sort is the favorite rose of millions. 



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. Sweetbrier fragrance. A thoroughly splendid Rose. 



Souv. de Claudius Pemet. These unfading sunflower-yellow Roses are 

 still the most popular of their color, being shapely, fragrant, and pro- 

 duced in abundance. 



Syracuse. A tall plant, bears many attractive buds and flowers of rich 

 scarlet. 



Talisman. (See color illustration, page 2.) A wealth of multicolored flow- 

 ers from scarlet and gold to deep pink and lemon-yellow. Extremely 

 popular. 



Ville de Paris. Rich buttercup-yellow, without tints or shadings. The 

 blooms are large, full and double, and are splendid for cutting. 



PATENTED Everblooming or Hybrid Tea Roses 



We have the honor to list below some of the lovely sorts which were

 and pink shadings. Each $1.00, doz. $10.00. 



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 

 back 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 manure, which should be thor- 

 oughly mixed and allowed to settle. 



Too deep Not deep enough Just right
