 weather. Mrs. Luther Brashears, Maryland. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



* Silver Columbia 



This rose is a sport of the famous Columbia. 

 The color is a clear shade of deep silver pink, 

 lighter than that of its parent. The color deepens 

 towards the center. The llowers are larger than 

 Columbia, inclined to be flat, but magnificently 

 formed on long, strong stems, which make it an 

 excellent rose for cutting. It has all the growing 

 characteristics of its parent, but is a more profuse 

 and a more constant bloomer — blooming from 

 one season's end to the other. The foliage is 

 hea\ y, of a dark green, remarkably free from 

 disease. Very hardy, and extremely easy to grow 

 — admirably adapted for the amateur's garden, 

 requiring little attention, and producing a wealth 

 of beauty. 



ANTOINE RIYOIRE. Flowers large, double 

 and of fine form; very fragrant; color, rosy- 

 flesh, with yellow ground, shaded with border 

 of carmine. Strong, healthy. A great favorite. 

 CRUSADER. Rich velvety crimson of bright 

 hue and of massive form, this rose is one of the 

 very finest of the reds. The flowers are very 

 large, full, extremely double, with petals of 

 splendid substance. Plant is of moderate growth, 

 with exceptionally fine, disease resistant foliage. 

 Its long stems and its lasting qualities make it a 

 splendid cutting variety. 

 SUNBURST. A magnificent giant yellow forcing 

 Rose, also well adapted for outdoor growing, being 

 a vigorous and healthy Rose. Reddish-bronze 

 foliage. The color is superb orange copper or golden 

 orange, with a deep orange center. 



Beautiful Silver Columbia 



^Radiance 



The Great Radiance Rose 



The Standard Garden Rose of America 



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

 because of its vigorous, heavy growth, and its great 

 abundance of bloom. Extremely easy to grow, re- 

 quiring little attention, it is exceptionally well adapted 

 for the amateur's garden. The color is almost a solid 

 rose-pink, but with lighter tints and reflections. Long, 

 heavy stems, bearing large and beautiful buds, which open 

 slowly into globular, somewhat loosely formed, fairly 

 double flowers. This is one of the hardiest of roses, and 

 will survive very severe winters. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. This great stand 

 ard variety is the most popular of all the lighter shades of 

 hybrid teas, and is famous for its perfection of form. 

 Large buds of creamy white; the open flower delicate 

 pure white, with a drop of lemon at the center, very 

 large and fragrant. The growth is sturdy, and it is a 

 very profuse bloomer. Of extreme hardiness. The 

 beauty of the autumn blooms of this rose is unsurpassed. 

 An indispensable variety. 

 OPHELIA. Any description can give but a faint idea of 

 the superb beauty and the rich shades of this rose. 

 Salmon flesh, shaded with rose in perfect tints. Buds of 

 unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. Plant 

 of strong habit, and produces its flowers in great pro- 

 fusion. Very hardy. This rose is one of the most 

 popular yellow roses in the world, and it is deserving of 

 its popularity.
