Radiance, and is a sport of that well-known Rose. It has no 
characteristics which make it distinct from Radiance ex¬ 
cept that it is shell pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, Red Radiance 
and Radiance offer a range of color that will be welcome, 
and there are no finer garden Roses for America than these 
three.

garden Rose.

tone from coppery-red in the bud, to glowing orange-yellow 
at the base of the petals, suffused with vivid rose pink.

able of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense deep pink 
color possessed by no other Rose.

formed shining flowers with lighter tints on the reverse of 
the petals; globular in shape and very fragrant. The plant 
makes splendid growth, has wonderful blooming qualities.

colorings of bright apricot, coral, rose and gold, and blooms 
very profusely. 
RED COLUMBIA (H. T.)—A brilliant^ scarlet-crimson of ex¬ 
quisite shade, a sport from Columbia; semi-double, one of 
the freest bloomers in existence; produces beautiful foliage 
in profusion. 
RED LETTER DAY—An exceedingly beautiful Rose of infinite 
grace and charm. Its velvety, brilliant glowing scarlet-

fade, as the reflex of the petals is satiny crimson-scarlet.

parent. Radiance, in habit, bearing big, globular flowers of 
deep rose-red on strong, individual canes which are freely 
produced all summer until frost.

habit, with good shaped blooms, which are carried erect

color is an orange-yellow, becoming lighter at the edges of 
the petals. It is an excellent exhibition and garden rose. 
RHEA REID—Flowers large and double; rich dark velvety 
red; a good red garden Rose.

merit. A rich red that has come to stay. Might best be

supplied with a heavy luxuriant foliage. The flowers are 
fine any season of the year. The color is an entrancing 
shade of red. The bud long-pointed and the open flower 
beautiful, with extreme size and good color to the last. 
Properly grown, it will produce more dollars per square 
foot of space than any other rose of today.

shaded flesh; large and very double; sweetly scented. 
SUNBURST—The color is orange-copper or golden-orange and 
golden-yellow; edge of petals lighter, all intense shades, 
extremely brilliant in effect. Some call the color cadmium- 
yellow. It is the yellowest of all Roses in the everblooming 
class, 
TALISMAN (Montgomery Co., 1929)—It is a most remarkable 
piece of coloring; a combination of shadings of gold, apricot, 
yellow, deep pink and old rose. The bud is long, well formed 
and develops into full double flowers. The plant is a strong 
grower, with glossy green foliage and free flowering. 
TEMPLAR (H. T.)—Bud medium size, globular; flower medium 
size, double globular, very lasting. Vigorous, upright, abun¬ 
dant and continuous bloomer. A new forcing Rose which is 
making its way into the garden. Clear bright red, of ex¬ 
ceeding double form and with fine strong stems. Few thorns. 
Perfumed. 
WHITE KILLARNEY—Benches of it during the winter give 
the appearance of a bank of snow. It is pure white in color, 
long in bud, of fine form. 
WHITE LA FRANCE, or AUGUSTINE GUINOISSEAU—Beau¬ 
tiful light fawn color, almost white; rightly described as 
an almost white La France. Extra fine.
