Roses to make your 
New Patented Roses 
Barely 10 per cent of the 
Roses carried in northern 
catalogues do well in this 
section. Those we list here 
have, with a few exceptions, 
been tested on our own 
grounds, and are dependable. 
As Roses, if treated as they 
deserve, last for many years, 
they merit the high regard they 
enjoy. No flower is so deeply 
loved, and because of their con¬ 
tinuance their cost over several 
years is not as great as that of a 
perennial border, while the satis¬ 
faction they give is unique.

Tried and Tested Roses 
50 cts. each, $2.25 for 5 
Betty Uprichard. HT. Two-color, copper-red buds, opening 
into semi-double, salmon-pink blooms. A good bloomer and 
an outstanding variety. 
Charles K. Douglas. HT. A top-notch, semi-double, scarlet- 
crimson Rose. Strong plant with good foliage. Exceedingly 
well liked. 
Dame Edith Helen. HT. One of the largest and most perfectly 
shaped pink Roses known. Flowers uniformly well shaped. 
Has attracted unstinted praise. The most perfumed of all 
pink Roses. 
Edith Nellie Perkins. HT. One of the best. Long-pointed buds 
of cream, orange, and pink, overspread with a gold flush. Very 
prolific flowering; strong grower. Foliage healthy. 
Etoile de Hollande. HT. It is said that this is the best red 
Hybrid Tea. Its gigantic flowers of velvety crimson color 
hold up remarkably well, getting lighter in shade instead of 
“bluing” with age. Thrives everywhere and produces a fine 
lot of blooms throughout the season. 
Frau Karl Druschki (Snow Queen; White American Beauty). 
HP. A wonderful Rose in bud or full bloom. It produces great 
masses of large, pure white iflowers in June and regularly 
during the summer. Perhaps the best white in existence. 
Golden Dawn. HT. Large, straw-yellow buds opening to pale 
lemon-yellow, double flowers, with slight old-rose markings. 
Rarely out of bloom. Bronzy foliage, free of disease. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. HT. Well-formed, cream-colored 
buds that open into white flowers. Free blooming and hardy.

gold. Attractive foliage. Continuous blooms of a novel shade. 
Miss Rowena Thom. HT. A vigorous-growing, very prolific 
bloomer, producing large, rose-pink flowers with delicate 
yellow shadings. Good. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. HT. Famous salmon-pink sport of Radiance, 
with all its good qualities. No other Rose has just the same 
lovely color.

Autumn. HT. Short buds of burnt-orange, opening to medium¬ 
sized, very double blooms, stained and splashed with red, 
orange, and shades of pink. The name “Autumn” describes it.

Foliage unusually healthy. Of vigorous habit.

Immense flowers, very double, and a most fragrant Rose.

outstanding performer. Flowers large, a deep shade of pink, 
staying long on the plant. Seldom out of bloom.

any other outdoor Rose. Long-pointed, rich red-gold buds, 
opening to well-formed blossoms that hold long. Foliage 
ornamental, healthy, and disease-resistant.
