HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued j 



Mrs. F. R. Pierson. We believe that this Rose has 



carried off more honors than any other new Rose ever 



introduced. As a commercial or garden red 



Rose, Mrs. F. R. Pierson has never ^ 



been equalled. It can be grown to jfl| 



larger size than American Beauty, 



even at its best. It has an equally 



large flower, better color, with fine, 



heavy, dark foliage, strong stems and 



very fragrant. It is a color hard to 



describe, cardinal-red, or as described 



by New York experts, "a crimson 



Rose flooded with sunshine." 



The buds are long and pointed, 



of ideal shape and form. 

 Mrs. George Shawyer. The 



color is a shade of brilliant clear 



rose or bright peach-pink, difficult 



to describe. It is a wonderful grower and 



bloomer, producing great numbers of 



shoots, each tipped with a bud. These shoots form 



the stem, from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are 



very large, well formed and full, petals of good substance. 

 Duchess of Wellington. A peerless Tea-like Rose, and one of 



the best in our trial grounds, with beautifully smooth and mas- 

 sive petals. The blooms are very large, full and perfectly 



formed, with high-pointed center. Very sweetly perfumed. 



The color, which is very novel, is a dainty, clear rose-madder. 



The growth is vigorous, erect and of very free-flowering habit. 



Bessie Brown. The plants are hardy and vigorous, producing 

 flowers profusely in the open ground all through the summer. 

 The color is pure white, flushed with pink; petals large and of 

 fine form. 



Betty. It is of the type of the Killarney Rose, and has a truly 

 unique color — ruddy gold. Blooms, extremely large, 

 fairly full, of glorious form, deliciously perfumed. 



Mrs. Henry Winnett. Color a bright shade of 

 crimson, not quite as dark as Hadley, but not 

 as light as Richmond, a color that has proven 

 to be very popular.

The Great Standard 

 Garden Rose — Radiance 



Radiance 



This is by far the best pink garden rose in existence, 

 because of its vigorous, heavy growth, and its great abun- 

 dance of bloom. Extremely easy to grow, requiring little 

 attention, it is exceptionally well adapted for the amateur's 

 garden. The color is almost a solid rose-pink, but with light- 

 er tints and reflections. Long, heavy stems, bearing large 

 and beautiful buds, which open slowly into globular, some- 

 what loosely formed, fairly double flowers. This is one of the 

 hardiest of roses, and will survive very severe winters. 

 Elsie Beckwith. This is a very fine rose of a vigorous, 

 upright habit of growth. The very sweetly scented 

 blooms, with large bold stiff petals, are produced on 

 strong stems. Not liable to damage by rain. Color a 

 rich glowing rosy pink. Foliage dark green, shaded 

 red; not subject to mildew. This is a good all 

 round sort for garden, bedding and under glass. It 

 suggests a elorified Mrs. Charles E. Russell. 

 Nerissa. Color, creamy yellow, shaded with white and 

 peach tint toward center. Bud handsome, long and 

 pointed, opening full and double. Rank grower. Wonder- 

 ful bloomer, making an excellent bedding and garden rose.
