ROSES 



Becker? s Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. 



ROSES 



The plants we send out are two-year-old, field-grown, budded stock. They are kept dormant by proper storage, and should be 

 planted very early in the spring — late March and early April is the best time. We offer a selection of three types — Hybrid Teas, 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, and Hardy Climbers. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES 



These plants are 75 cts. each, $7.50 per dozen 

 Columbia. Light pink buds, becoming more brilliant on opening, 

 borne on long stems; fragrant. Flowers all summer and the blooms 

 keep well. 



Gruss an Teplitz. The intensely fragrant, vivid crimson flowers 

 are produced with the utmost freedom in nodding clusters. This 

 is the finest and most dependable everblooming Rose for garden 

 decoration. It is better planted by itself or at least not mixed with 

 lower-growing varieties, as it grows 3 to 4 feet high and is very 

 bushy. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock. Very large, massive blooms of dark glowing 



pink, with silvery turned-back petals. The stems are stiff and 



strong. Blooms on and off all summer. 

 Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. A very double, exquisitely formed 



white Rose with a pale lemon center. Undoubtedly the most 



beautiful white Rose in the world, but the bush is dwarf and it 



does not flower as freely as some of the others. 

 Los Angeles. Beautifully shaped, flame-pink flowers, with a strong 



yellow glow; very fragrant. A favorite variety with many people. 

 Luxembourg (Grande Duchesse Marie Adelaide de Luxembourg). 



Cream-white with deep yellow center, and occasional pink markings 



on outer petals. 



Miss Lolita Armour. The very full, globular, copper-pink flowers 



have a strong, yellow glow, and nod gracefully on fairly long stems. 



A very unusual color. 

 Mme. Caroline Testout. Large, silky flowers of vivid pink, very 



freely and continuously produced. This is one of the best-known 



and most dependable varieties. 

 Mme. Edouard Herriot. Orange-scarlet buds and extremely 



striking orange-pink flowers which are most freely and continuously 



borne throughout the whole season. 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward. In cool weather, rich golden buff; in the hot 



season, creamy white with rich yellow center. A low, free-flowering 



bush with beautiful foliage. 

 Opbelia. Delicate, shell-like buds and blooms of pale ivory and 



pearly pink. One of the most popular and most beautiful of all 



Roses. A reliable bloomer. 

 Radiance. Bright pink, globular flowers, with a silvery tone on the 



turned-back petals; fragrant; very free-flowering. This is the most 



easily grown and perhaps the most popular Rose in America. 

 Red Radiance. Exactly like Radiance in every respect except its 



color, which is a very dark pink, or a curious shade of light crimson. 



Some think it surpasses Radiance in blooming. 

 Sunburst. A very beautiful cream and golden yellow Rose with 



exquisite perfume. The bush is slender and very dwarf. 



Killarney. Sparkling pink buds of largest size and glorious shape. 



The open flower is nearly single and very clear, light pink. At one 



time the most popular florist's cut-flower. 

 Killarney, White. A very fine white Rose of the same type as 



Killarney, and considered by some to be the best white garden 



Rose in the Hybrid Tea class.
