MBS. CHARLES BELL. This variety is 
soft shell pink color, tinged with salmon 
like a peari. Very sweetly perfumed, a 
strong vigorous grower blooming continu¬ 
ously and is extremely hardy. 
MRS. ERSKINE P. THOM. A bright canary 
yellow of delightful fragrance. It blooms 
very freely all summer long and consid¬ 
ered by many flower lovers to be the best 
yellow garden rose. 
OPHELIA. The beautiful long salmon 
flower, originated from a seed pod gathered 
in the nursery. Almost thornless. 
PINK RADIANCE. Here is another rose 
that is very beautiful, intensely fragrant, 
cameo pink. Blooms all summer and in 
all climates. 
Mrs. E. P. Thom 
★ RED RADIANCE. Even shade of 
I recommend it highly for the 
belt. Large and double. Lasts a 
long time when cut. See front cover. 
★ SENSATION. Sensation is an¬ 
other rose of striking color. Enor¬ 
mous dark velvety scarlet crimson 
blooms which are highly perfumed. 
The stems are practically thornless, 
are very long and hold the flower 
upright. Almost as dark a color as 
Etoile De France. A very full 
double rose. 
★ SOTTV. de CLAUDIUS PERNET. 
This is a sun-flower yellow Rose. 
Won the gold medal in Paris in 1920 
and is very hardy. Dry, warm, 
sunny days bring it to blooming 
perfection. See front cover. 
SOUV. DE GEORG-ES PERNET. Same 
shape as Claude Pernet and the pet¬ 
als are oriental red with stripes of 
carmine on a gold colored base. As 
the petals slowly unfurl, the color 
blends to an old rose kind of brick 
shade. There is no other color to 
match it in the entire rose family. 
★ SUNBURST. When they named 
this rose they said it all as far 
as description is concerned. It has 
that yellow orange color that resem¬ 
bles the setting sun. 
★ TALISMAN. This Rose has the 
most gorgeous collection of col¬ 
ors ever presented by a Rose. The 
colorings of this great Rose are 
gold, apricot yellow, blood orange, 
deep pink and old rose. The plant 
is healthy and hardy. I am pricing 
it low this year for you so that ev¬ 
eryone can have this lovely Rose. 
See front cover. 
WILHELM HORDES. The flower of 
this variety is a vivid salmon rose 
shaded gold. In our garden we And 
this is a vigorous grower and bears 
lots of colorful roses. 
★ WILLOWMERE. I have always 
liked this lovely Rose. It is a 
very strong grower. The color is a 
very rich pink, shining with a yellow 
glow which seems to come from the 
very heart of the flower.

Different varieties of roses are in my show garden planting pictured above. Each 
variety is marked for you. 
SEEDS AND NURSERY STOCK 
MRS. PIERRE S. DUPONT. Winner of 
more Gold Medals for outdoor blooms 
than any rose ever grown. The bud is 
long-pointed, rich reddish gold. It 
opens up a golden yellow. This is the 
most continuous blooming yellow Hy¬ 
brid Tea, and will produce as many 
flowers as any rose in your garden. 
75c ea. 
★ OLYMPIAD. Another new rose that 
deserves a place in your garden. 
Handsome scarlet flowers with a strong 
orange undertone having deep golden 
flashes at the base of the petals. The 
globe shaped blooms are very finely per¬ 
fumed. Grows on extremely long 
stems. 75c ea. 
★ COUNTESS VANDAL. One of the 
newest roses. The buds are extra 
long, tapering, and the blooms have 
very deep petals. The colors are many 
but seem to be mostly harmoniously 
blended rose and salmon colors, over¬ 
laid with fiery gold and coppery shades. 
This is another variety that will bloom 
unceasingly throughout the entire sea¬ 
son. Plant patent No. 38. $1.50 each, 
postpaid. 
MARY HART (The Red Talisman). Same 
shape and size as the lovely Talisman. 
We think it will be even more popular 
than Talisman. Tested in the garden, 
the stems seem to be longer and the 
bush is larger and more upright grow¬ 
ing. 
The bud is maroon red and opens up 
to a deep velvety blood red with an 
overglow of amber. Mary Hart does 
not wilt or dry out when cut, but opens 
perfectly. A red rose without a lighter 
cast of any kind. All rose lovers will 
want this rose in their garden. Plant 
Patent No. 8. $1.50 each. 
HYBRID 
PERPETUAL 
or June Blooming Boses 
Hardiest and most vigorous growing of 
roses for .your garden. Every family, 
whether trees, shrubs or people have 
hardy pioneers in their family. This 
group stands like Oak trees in the rose 
family. They are winter hardy, vigorous 
growers and get those great big massive, 
double roses on them everybody loves. I 
feel that my rose garden is not complete 
without some of these. 
Red 
IMPROVED AMERICAN BEAUTY. This 
fine, large, popular, cherry-red Rose is 
a favorite all over the world. It is old 
but reliable. It is a vigorous grower, 
and I have yet to see a red Rose that 
surpasses my Improved American 
Beauty. 
GENERAL JACK. The real beauty about 
this excellent red Rose is that several 
flowers come on the same strong stem. 
The bush will get six feet high. In¬ 
tensely fragrant. Order under the name 
of General Jack. 
Pink 
PAUL NEYRON. All of us like the big 
things in life, big melons, big cabbage, 
and here’s the big rose. Lasts a long 
time, clear pink. If you want a cham¬ 
pion in the garden in large size and 
fragrance, you have it in Paul Neyron. 
MRS. JOHN LAING. Here’s the longest 
stemmed, longest pointed bud, sturdy 
rose of the pink Hybrid Perpetual roses. 
Everyone who grows it says it’s the 
most useful of this group. A continuous 
bloomer and gives the Hybrid Teas a 
real run for number of blooms per sea¬ 
son. 
White 
P. K. DRUSCHKI. This is known as the 
White American Beauty. The flowers 
are large, of waxy paper-white, and it 
continues to bloom clear down until the 
first snows of the fall. It is without 
doubt the most lovely and largest of the 
white Roses that has ever been intro¬ 
duced. 
Yellow 
SOLIEL D’OR. Everybody likes a large 
yellow Rose. This beautiful, full flow¬ 
ered golden yellow Rose which turns a 
ruddy gold and sort of Nasturtium red, 
is one of the most charming Roses of 
its class, and being a Hybrid Perpetual 
will last for years after planting. The 
Soliel d’Or is the most marvelously 
colored Rose in all creation. 
Varieties marked ★ are pictured in color on front cover or page 19
