Pink and Blended Ruses, continued 



Killarney Brilliant. A sport from the original Kil- 

 larney Rose but much more intense and rich in color, 

 \arying from bright pink to deep rosy carmine. The 

 llowers are of greater substance and are very fragrant. 



Lady Alice Stanley. Deep coral-rose on the outside 

 of the petals, inside pale llesh, slightly flushed deeper 

 ticsli. Beautiful, healthy foliage. One of the finest 

 garden Roses ever sent out. 



Lady Ursula. Large, full, flesh-pink flowers of great 

 substance carried erect on strong, rigid stems. Delic- 

 iously tea-perfumed. A splendid garden Rose; unusually 

 vigorous and hardy. 



Miss Cynthia Forde. Deep, brilliant rose-pink, 

 shading to an attractive light rosy pink. An unusualK 

 well-built, large Rose of good habit, flowering profuseU 

 at all times. Delightfully fragrant. 



Ophelia. Salmon-pink, shaded with rose; large, well- 

 formed flowers carried on long, rigid stems and pro- 

 duced continually. One of the best Roses for any pur- 

 pose sent out in recent years. 



Pharisaer. Rosy white with pretty, soft salmon 

 shadings, the long, well-formed buds opening into large, 

 double flowers of splendid form. A most satisfactory 

 garden Rose and one that is worthy of extensive planting. 



Radiance. An American-bred Rose of so many ex- 

 cellent qualities that it may be considered the best 

 bedding Rose in this color. Flowers large, perfect in 

 form, and produced freely. The vigorous, branchv 

 growth invariably terminates in one or more flowers of 

 a bright, carmine-salmon shade, mingled with rose, 

 shading to a coppery-yellow at the base of the petals. 

 The American Rose Society officially recognized its 

 merit by awarding it a Silver Medal, 1914, as the most 

 valuable garden Rose in this climate-^the highest dis- 

 tinction yet awarded a bedding Rose in America. 



Willowmere. A truly magnificent, vigorous-grow- 

 ing Rose of erect, branching habit. Rich shrimp-pink, 

 toning to carmine-pink toward the edges of the petals. 

 The beautiful coral-red buds are carried on stout flower- 

 stalks, and open into very large, full flowers. An im- 

 provement on the Lyon which it resembles. 



Yellow, Orange, and Salmon 



Lady Pirrie. Outside of petals coppery, reddish sal- 

 mon; apricot-yellow, flushed fawn and copper on the 

 inside. Not a very double flower but an excellent bed- 

 ding Rose. Awarded the Silver Medal of the American 

 Rose Society at the Hartford Test-Garden, June, 191 5, 

 where it was considered by the examining committee 

 one of the best garden Roses on trial. 



Mabel Drew. Deep cream in the bud stage, passing 

 to intense canary-yellow toward the center as the flower 

 opens; large, full, deliciously-scented flowers carried on 

 vigorous stems. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. Deep Indian-yellow at the center 

 of the flower, shading to primrose-yellow toward the 

 edges of the petals, the whole occasionally washed soft 

 salmon-pink as the flower expands. Hardy and flori- 

 ferous. This is one of the best Roses in this color. 



Old Gold. A free and dainty garden Rose, producing 

 graceful, semi-double flowers profusely throughout the 

 season. Color reddish orange, with coppery red and 

 apricot shadings, particularly beautiful in the bud stage. 

 Healthy, dark green foliage, entirely free from mildew 

 and very fragrant. To those who appreciate the beauty 

 of the single or semi-double flower, we confidently 

 recommend this exquisite variety. 



Sunburst. Superb cadmium-yellow, suffused with 

 oiange-copper and deeper yellow. Large, full flowers of 

 elongated cup-form; vigorous; a fine exhibition Rose. 



Red and Crimson 



Cardinal. Rich, cardinal-red; large, full, and very 

 free. A garden Rose of excellent habit. 



General Janssen. Deep, glowing carmine; large, 

 full, deep flowers; firmly formed buds carried on erect, 

 robust stems; very fragrant. An excellent Rose for 

 bedding and cutting purposes and one of the hardiest 

 in the Hybrid Tea section. 



Red and Crimson, continued 



Francis Scott Key. A sturdy-growing Ar 

 Rose that has proved valuable for garden purposes. The 

 flowers are large and very double; the petals are well 

 formed and of unusual substance; the color, a deep, 

 even red. 



Gruss an Teplitz. Bright scarlet-crimson with vivid, 

 fiery red center; quite hardy and extremely free-flower- 

 ing. This variety is essentially a garden Rose and we 

 recommend it with the utmost confidence. 



Hadley. Rich crimson, varying to deep velvety crim- 

 son; vigorous, branching growths, each terminating in 

 well-formed, intensely fragrant flowers which are pro- 

 duced continuously. 



Hoosier Beauty. Deep, glowing crimson with darker 

 shadings; large, beautifully formed flowers carried on 

 vigorous, branching stems. This is a splendid garden 

 Rose. 



Laurent Carle. Brilliant, velvety carmine; long bud, 

 opening into a large, well-formed fragrant flower; vig- 

 orous and very free-flowering. Roses of this color that 

 are good bedders are all too scarce, but we have no hesi- 

 tation in recommending this sterling variety as one of 

 the best for garden purposes. 



Red Radiance. A clear, cerise-red sport of Radiance 

 introduced by us in 1916 and now recognized as a garden 

 Rose of unusual merit. It has the same free-flowering 

 qualities as its parent, being in bloom continuously dur- 

 ing the season. The growth is even more robust and 

 vigorous, carrying the large and well-formed flowers on 

 heavy, erect stems. 



Richmond. Scarlet-crimson in color; an excellent 

 forcing and garden variety; very fragrant and free- 

 flowering. It is particularly good in early summer. 



Robin Hood. Soft, bright rosy-scarlet, changing to 

 bright scarlet-crimson as the season advances. Vigor- 

 ous, robust growth, entirely free from mildew. The 

 flowers are large, beautifully formed, and produced freely 

 throughout the season. An unusual feature in this va- 

 riety is that the color is at its best during the hot sum- 

 mer period.
