HYBRID lEA ROSES— Continued, 



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 

 larger size than American Beauty, 

 even at its best. It has an equally 

 large flower, better color, with fme, 

 heavy, dark foHage, 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 strong 

 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 fuU, petals of good substance. 



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

 the best in our trial groimds, 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 KUlarney Rose, and has a truly 

 unique color — ^ruddygold. Blooms, extremely large, 

 fairly fuU, 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 exceptionaUy well adapted for the amateur's 

 garden. The color is almost a soHd rose-pink, but with hght- 

 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 stifi" petals, are produced on 

 strong stems. Not Hable 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. RusseU. 

 Nerissa. Color, creamy yeUow, shaded with white and 

 peach tint toward center. Bud handsome, long and 

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

 ful bloomer, making an excellent bedding and garden rose.
