Radiance. 



Rena Robbins 



A glorious new extra hardy Hybrid Tea Rose which ori- 

 ginated a few miles from West Grove. Awarded Silver 

 Medal by the American Rose Society as the best bedding 

 Rose at the Hartford, Conn., gardens this past season. The 

 flowers are a beautiful blending of shades of carmine-rose, 

 with opal and coppery reflections. It is of splendid, sturdy 

 growth, constantly in bloom, and is bound to become one of 

 the leading garden Roses. We cannot say too much in its 

 praise. 



NATALIE BOTTN'EIR— New yellow Hybrid Tea. Blooms 

 of bright lemon-yellow, borne on long, stiff stems, very 

 vigorous and free-blooming. Blooms resemble the famous 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and if you will imagine a bloom; 

 of this size only being lemon-yellow, it is bound to become 

 one of the most popular yellow Hybrid Tea Roses in exist- 

 ence. Perfectly hardy. 



NITA WILDON— Ivory-white, tinted on the edge with the 

 faintest tinge of blush-pink. The bush is of fine shape, 

 covered with large, bright green foliage and the flowers 

 are held up well on long, stifif stems, making a highly de- 

 sirable Rose. 



*NORMA — Almost like Mad. Caroline Testout in form and 

 sturdiness of growth; of splendid fragrance, and the color 

 is a magnificent shade of pink. 



I 



This remarkable new Hybrid Tea Rose is one that 

 will create a sensation wherever grown. The flowers 

 are simply immense in size, a beautiful, clear white or 

 tinted lemon, with the color running to a beautiful 

 shade of orange in the center. 



OLIVIA — A most gorgeous, distinct, extra-hardy Rose 

 of deep, brilliant rose-pink. The flowers are of splen- 

 did substance, deep and full double, the buds being 

 particularly handsome in form._ For bedding and 

 cutting purposes it has no superior. 



PERLE VON GODESBERG— This magnificent Rose 

 was originally sent out as a Yellow Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, it having all the beauty of form and sub- 

 stance of that great garden Rose. The color is a 

 rich canary-yellow with shadings of saffron. The 

 flowers are massive in size, full and double, with the 

 petals elegantly recurved. It is one of the finest gar- 

 den Roses, being perfectly hard3^ 



^PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT— Blooms are finely form- 

 ed, with petals of wonderful substance; color, bright, 

 lively pink, which remains true to the last. 



PRIMA DONNA— A Hybrid Tea. Claimed to be one 

 of the strongest growing Hybrid Tea Roses in culti- 

 vation, 'and as free a bloomer as Killarney. Color a 

 deep rose-pink, petals waved or undulated on the 

 edges, giving it an elegance of form seen in no other 

 Rose. Good for forcing or outdoor growing.
