Radiance 
Pink. John Cook, of Baltimore ,has produced more good Roses than any 
KaCliailCP. other man in this country, but he never has given us a better Rose than 
Radiance. It is a continuous bloomer and an extremely vigorous grower, surpassing 
Wm. R. Smith in that respect. The blooms arc very large, clear silvery pink, somewhat 
resembling the grand new Rose, Jonkhecr J. L. Mock, but lighter in color. This is a 
variety of the greatest importance. Price, mailing size, 35 cts. ; extra-fine 2-year plants, 
80 cts.; 3-year, $1.00. 
La Tosca. This Rose has proved to be of 
exceptional value in and about Washington, 
D. C., and in any hot, dry climate there are 
not a half-dozen varieties that will equal it 
in growth or blooming qualities. It is a par- 
ticular favorite at the Brookland, D. C., 
flower show, where only outdoor-grown 
blooms arc exhibited. It has been shown 
there under another name, but has proved 
its exceptional value among all classes. 
The growth is strong, vigorous, upright, and 
nearly thornless. It is particularly an easy 
Rose for the amateur to grow, and should 
he classed with such free-growing sorts as 
Radiance, Druschki, Jonk Mock, W. R. 
Smith and Duchess of Wellington. Flowers 
of the largest size, of a loose, cup-shaped 
formation ; color clear light rose pink. 
We recommend this variety very highly. 
Price, mailing size, 30 cts. ; strong 2-ycar 
plants, 80 cts. ; 3-year, $1.00.

quite hardy and possesses that delicious old- 
fashioned Rose fragrance so much sought 
after in an cvcrhlooming variety. Price, 1- 
year, 25 cts. ; 2-year, 80 cts. 
q Crimson. Probably the 
“ ■ best ever-blooming red 
Rose in cultivation. A magnificent garden 
Rose. “As large as American Beauty, as 
double as La France and as red as Rich- 
mond,” is the way this beautiful Hybrid Tea 
Bush Rose has been described. The color is 
vivid scarlet-crimson, and the flowers are 
marvels of beauty ; large, bold and of splen- 
did substance. It has a strong, disease- 
resisting constitution, makes a rapid growth 
and throws up a profusion of canes from 
the roots, and is always blooming. Price,

plants, 80 cts. ; extra 3-year, $1.00.
