Duckham’s Special Rose Offer 
E VER^ year the list of new Roses grows larger and more confusing. Superb new varieties come into being and 
are jostled aside by dozens of other contestants for favor. But as the seasons pass, certain varieties take firm 
hold and stand out like rocks above a stream. To these established varieties, firmly fixed in public favor, the 
gardener must turn if he is to save himself from complete confusion. Realizing this, we have selected 12 outstanding 
Roses which are so good that the flood of new varieties has been unable to dislodge them from favor. We have made 
special an angements to have these 12 selected Roses propagated in quantity, so that we can offer them to our customers 
at a reduced price for the whole collection. 1 he beginning Rose-grower could not do better than to plant these as his 
first dozen, and those who wish an abundant all-season display would be wise to plant a half-dozen or so of these 
collections, thus insuring a steady supply of the most beautiful and perfect blooms. 
BRIARCLIFF. Splendid, rich rose-pink without shading; fine 
long-pointed bud, opening to a beautifully modeled, shell-like 
flower. Vigorous and prolific. 
CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. Strong-growing bush with an abun¬ 
dance of striking light scarlet-crimson flowers. One of the 
most dependable garden varieties. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. The finest everblooming red Hybrid 
Tea Rose. Flowers vivid and fragrant. Bush strong. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. Well-formed, creamy 
buds which develop slowly to blooms of absolutely perfect 
form, snowy white with a slight tint of lemon at center; 
fragrant. Plant moderately vigorous, free blooming, and hardy. 
A standard old variety, indispensable among white garden 
Roses. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. Big, globular flowers of glowing pink 
with a golden suffusion at the base of the petals. Remarkable 
for vigorous growth. 
MRS. AARON WARD. Everybody likes this little flower, 
which nestles on such a vigorous little bush. The buds are 
golden buff and fawn, opening to very double flowers of 
palest pink and white, suffused with yellow and cream. The 
foliage is like holly. 
MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. Few flowers of any kind can 
equal the gorgeous color of this Rose. The buds are burning 
red and copper and the open flowers brilliant orange-pink. 
MRS. CHARLES BELL. One of the famous Radiance Trio. In 
growth and form of flower it resembles the unbeatable Radi¬ 
ance, but the color is a mild, even tone of delicate flesh-pink. 
MRS. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM. Throughout the 
United States this is generally considered the best of all 
yellow garden Roses. Plants are thrifty, erect in habit, and 
produce in unbroken succession handsome golden yellow buds 
which open cleanly into well-shaped, clear yellow flowers that 
are fragrant and long lasting. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER. One of the most popular 
Roses of the day. The long, coppery buds open to huge, 
flamboyant flowers of vivid rose-pink and golden cream, 
striking and very lovely. The plants are extraordinarily 
vigorous and bloom unceasingly throughout the season. 
RADIANCE. This is probably the best-known and the most 
widely grown Rose on this continent. The big, globular 
flowers are bright glowing rose-pink on the outside, and a 
softer, silvery shade on the inside. Vigorous, persistent bloomer. 
RED RADIANCE. Like Radiance in all respects save color— 
clear even rose-red. Very popular.

Abbreviation HT., Hybrid Tea 
AUTUMN. HT. One of the most striking Roses ever introduced. 
The tight, tapering buds are deep burning bronze with fiery tones, 
and the inner surface of the petals rich old-gold. As they open 
to immense double flowers, the colors lighten and blend into an 
extraordinary mixture of rose, yellow, and coppery tones. Plants 
are very vigorous. 
AMELIA EARHART (President Charles Hain). HT. Plant Patent 
No. 63. A stunning new Rose from Belgium with immense, golden 
yellow buds and huge, exquisitely formed flowers, fragrant and 
full, of symmetrically arranged, delicate curled petals. Plants 
are thrifty and bloom with unusual freedom for so large a flower 
throughout the entire season. $1.50 each. 
BETTER TIMES. HT. Plant Patent No. 23. Striking new Rose 
of the cut-flower type and related to Premier, which it resembles 
in form, its long, straight stem, and upright habit. The long buds 
are brilliant cerise-crimson, and open to very striking double 
flowers of vivid cerise-red which are delicately fragrant. This 
variety has won awards at shows and is fast making a name for 
itself in the florists’ shops. So far it has proved equally at home 
and attractive in the garden, and promises to become one of the 
most popular varieties. $1.50 each; $15 per doz. 
BETTY. HT. I think this Rose has the loveliest buds of any variety 
I have ever seen. They are long, tapering, with exquisitely curled 
petals, tinted with soft shades of pinkish buff and copper. The 
open flower is very large and fluffy, almost creamy white, with a 
sheen of pale gold.

silvery pink flowers, richly shaded with coral, salmon, and golden 
yellow tones. The plants are erect and vigorous, the stems long 
and strong. $1 each. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. HT. For a long time I regarded

still has prettier buds and larger flowers than many newer 
varieties. It grows well, too, after it is once established.
