• MRS. CHARLES BELL 
(H. T.) Shell-pink Radiance. See illustration 
above. A Superb sport of Red Radiance; equal in 
every respect, but distinct in color. Shell-pink- 
salmon of the clearest, cleanest tint imaginable. 
This exquisite shade has never betn matched in 
any of the new Roses. It is deliciously fragrant. 
• MME. ALBERT BARBIER 
(H. T.) Tawny yellow. This Rose was intro¬ 
duced as a Hybrid Perpetual, but as it is like a 
Hybrid Tea in both growth and its continuous 
blooming, we are listing it as a Hybrid Tea. 
Exquisite tints of fawn-yellow and white, with 
just a suggestion of pink, giving the blooms a 
pearly look. A beautiful Rose. Fruity fragrance. 
• RED RADIANCE 
A Great American Bush Rose. Has no 
superiors and few equals; identical with the 
original Pink Radiance, except the color is a 
splendid, even shade of clear red, without a trace 
of any other color, retaining its vividness after 
being cut. The vigor of growth, its adaptability 
to any soil or climate has made this rose out¬ 
standing. It does just as well in the far North 
as in the extreme South. It is one of the twelve 
best garden roses in the world. Very hardy and 
free blooming. 
• PINK RADIANCE 
Gloriously formed flowers, immense in size, 
exquisite fragrance, grand foliage, healthy grow¬ 
ing, fine color, always in bloom. The color is 
beautiful—bright carmine-pink. Hardy every¬ 
where with protection; as its name suggests, 
radiantly beautiful. One of the world's twelve 
greatest roses. 
• TALISMAN 
Sensational and world famous new bush Rose, 
with very large, double blooms produced in con¬ 
stant profusion. Indescribable colors — brilliant 
orange yellow with coppery red shades, blended 
into a combination seen in no other Rose; frag¬ 
rant, exquisite buds, very hardy, free-blooming.

• HUGONIS 
Known as "The Golden Rose of China.” 
Unique, making a beautiful shrub, bearing im¬ 
mense w r reaths, literally masses of single, clear, 
yellow flowers. Grows in the poorest soil to 
perfection. Needs no protection. This new 
Chinese Rose with its immense wreaths and 
gorgeous flowers is truly a sight to behold bloom¬ 
ing in early spring before all other flowers appear. 
In late fall foliage is a beautiful purple.

• BRILLIANT PAUL'S SCARLET 
Still continues to be the most popular scarlet 
climbing Rose. It probably is the most attrac¬ 
tive climbing Rose of the pillar type ever intro¬ 
duced. The blooms come in massive profusion, 
retain their color a long time without fading and 
the color is a most vivid scarlet. The individual 
flowers are large. It makes the most brilliant 
display of any Rose of this type, new or old, now 
known. It will hold its popularity indefinitely 
because of its great merit. Perfectly hardy 
everywhere.

• CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER ★ F. J. GROOTENDORST 
★ PINK DOROTHY PERKINS 
This is one of the new Rambler types; has the same 
strong habit of growth as the Crimson; flowers are borne 
in large clusters of 25 to 30 and are a beautiful shell pink; 
individual flowers are larger than those of Crimson 
Rambler. 
Early flowering hybrid combining the orna¬ 
mental qualities of its Rugosa foliage with the 
blossoms, beauty, and perfume of the Hybrid 
Perpetuals. Flowers large, cup-shaped, double, 
delicate silvery-pink. Blooms throughout sea¬ 
son. 
® RED JAPANESE ROSE 
(Rugosa Rubra) —Came from Japan. Flowers 
beautiful, bright rose-crimson and single, suc¬ 
ceeded by large berries of rich rosy-red, which 
last on the bushes until well into the winter. 
Noted for its delightful pungent fragrance. 
This hybrid is unlike any other Rugosa in 
having the beauty and freedom of bloom of the 
Baby Ramblers, but with the rugged foliage and 
hardiness of the Rugosa. In luxuriance of bloom, 
and in sturdiness, this Rose has fairly leaped 
into the greatest popularity. It is the grandest 
of the red flowered Baby Ramblers, and blooms 
continuously all summer. Splendid for low 
hedges or edgings. 
• MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN 
(Spanish Beauty) 
Pearl-pink. Early. A plant of this "Queen of the Climb¬ 
ing Roses” in full bloom is one of the most beautiful sights 
we have ever seen. Long-pointed buds of crimson open to 
great, urn-shaped flowers of iridescent pearl-pink, with 
splashes of ruby-carmine on the outside of the petals. 
These deliciously fragrant blooms are produced so lavishly 
that they almost hide (he plant, and coming as they do on 
long stems (12 to 18 inches), they are perfect for cutting. 
50c Each; 3 for $1.25.
