and magnificent flowers of salmon-pink deepen¬ 
ing toward the center. Delightfully tea-scented. 
MRS. VAN DE VOODE. Tall growing brilliant 
scarlet bedding rose. 
MRS. W. E. NICKERSON. The splendidly - 
formed buds are of an entrancing new color, the 
exterior of the petals heavily veined with rose 
d’ or and shaded orange-cadmium, the interior 
a deep, chrome-yellow on the lower half passing 
to a warm rich rosy salmon. Extremely vig¬ 
orous. 
NATIONAL EMBLEM. Dark crimson flowers, 
with a velvety texture, shaded with vermilion 
toward the edges of the petals. Long pointed 
buds which make lovely specimen cut flowers. 
PREMIER SUPREME. Much better than the 
old favorite Pemier. Deep rose color, the broad 
roll of the outer petals creating most interesting 
lights and shadows. 
PRES. HERBERT HOOVER. The rose sensa¬ 
tion of the past few years. Maroon, orange and 
gold, long pointed buds, enormous flowers, very 
fragrant, constant bloomer. One of the very best 
new roses. 
PRESIDENT JAC SMITS. For color in the 
garden or for cutting in bud form no more bril¬ 
liant red rose can be planted than this variety. 
The rich velvety scarlet- crimson flowers are 
semi-double, similar to K. of K. in shape, but 
much deeper and more brilliant in color/ A tall 
willowy grower.

ing to well formed, shining, globular flowers with 
lighter tints on reverse of petal; very fragrant. 
One of the very hardiest growing and profuse 
bloomer of all the roses. 
RAPTURE. Much like Madame Butterfly in 
growth and shape of bloom, but the color is 
deeper and more brilliant. Yellow, pink and 
coral on a cream background. Nearly thornless 
long stems makes Rapture an ideal cut rose. 
RED RADIANCE. A sport of Radiance, equal 
in every way except for its color which is a deep 
rose red. 
SENSATION. Splendid, large, crimson scarlet, 
perfect bud as well as in the fully developed, 
sweetly scented, double flower. Vigorous grower. 
SOUVENIR de CLAUDIUS PERNET. The

The open flower is not so fine as could be ex¬ 
pected fi-om such grand buds. Only moderate 
grower.

stems. Color, golden orange and golden yellow, 
lighter at the edges of the peatals. 
TALISMAN. Brilliant orange-red buds open

den yellow stained with copper-red and orange- 
rose. The most popular rose of the last few 
years with every characteristic so good that it 
has deserved its popularity.

large full blooms of shrimp pink with carmine 
pink shadings. Buds long pointed and open
