 RED RADIANCE. Among Roses it is doubtful if any 



variety' will compare with Radiance as a garden Rose 



when measured point for point in all-round merit; 



certainly there is no Rose that will exceed it. In 



offering Red Radiance to our patrons, we present an 



exact replica of its prototype Radiance, except in 



color, which is a splendid, even shade of clear red and 



an improvement to that extent. It is extremely free and continuous in flowering; the growth is vigorous and 



branching, each shoot terminating in a large, bold flower of excellent form. Altogether, it is a Rose destined 



to become a leader among garden Roses and as such we recommend it without hesitation.
