HENDERSON'S 



GLOWIMG COLLECTION 



OF HARDY EVER'BLOOMING ROSES 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON OPPOSITE PAGE. 



The "Glowing" Collection of Roses shown in colors on the opposite page is, we 

 believe, one of the best collections we have ever offered. Each variety possesses 

 in a superlative degree the essential points of an ideal garden Rose. All are well- 

 known varieties which are giving satisfaction and pleasure to thousands of Rose lovers. 

 The Cardinal and Radiance were raised by Mr. John Cook and introduced by us several 

 years ago. In 19 14 the American Rose Society officially recognized the merit of the latter 

 by awarding it a Silver Medal as the most valuable Rose for garden culture in this climate; 

 the highest distinction yet awarded a bedding Rose in America. The numbers on the colored 

 plate are a key to the varieties as numbered below. We will send free with each collection our pamphlet on "The Garden Culture 

 of the Rose," which gives full detailed instructions on planting and care. 



No. 1 Pink Ever-Blooming Rose 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER 



This variety possesses the irresistible combination of size, fragrance, 

 perfect form and color. It is a brilliant pink which shows up wonderfully 

 under artificial light. The buds are long and pointed and open perfectly 

 at all seasons. The flowers, borne on long stiff stems with superb foliage, 

 are very durable under all conditions. Because of its freedom of growth 

 and bloom, this variety is destined, we believe, to take a leading place 

 among the garden varieties.

 doz.; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz. 



No. 2 Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



WM. R. SMITH 



This magnificent variety is an American-raised, pedigree seedling. It 

 inherits hardiness, constitution, fine habit, grand foliage and superb flowers. 

 Where there are so many good qualities it is difficult to emphasize the 

 leading one, but in this variety we would name its ability to resist disease. 

 The color is a deep ivory-white overlaid with a good, bright shade of pink. 

 As a summer Rose it ranks with the best.

CARDINAL 



of all the Roses which we have introduced there is none which has measured 

 up better to the ideal standard than this. Habit and bloom are beyond 

 criticism. "Cardinal" is a seedling of "Liberty" hybridized with an un- 

 named carmine seedling in the third generation. It has amply fulfilled its 

 promise of being the most valuable red Rose, for the garden, in the hardy, 

 ever-blooming class. Color, a rich cardinal-red. Is a very strong grower 

 with a superb flower. Its fragrance is very strong and sweet. The color 

 of the flowers holds good in the hottest weather; the form is such that they 

 remain perfect during the heated term; the health and vigor of the plant 

 enable it to produce flowers constantly during the entire season. We have 

 received hundreds of testimonials from purchasers, attesting its grand 

 qualities.

 the garden. The color is bright saffron-yellow with coppery-orange shades.

 Roses.
