Varieties of Bush Roses 
PINK RADIANCE. (HT.) Flowers 
are a beautiful shade of the richest tone 
of pink, darker on the inner surface of 
the petals than on the margins. The 
buds are large and very fine. It is a 
very strong grower. 
RED RADIANCE. (HT.) It has flow¬ 
ers of the same exquisite form and the 
same sweet fragrance as Pink Radiance. 
The color is a splendid, even shade of 
clear red, without a trace of any other 
color, retaining its vividness for an un¬ 
usually long time after being cut. 
SHELL-PINK RADIANCE. (Mrs. 
Charles Bell.) (HT.) Another of the 
Radiance family. A distinct light shell- 
pink. It is a wonderful rose, always in 
bloom, which is a heritage of all Radi¬ 
ance types. 
WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY. 
(Frau Karl Druschki.) (HP.) Buds fine 
and large, usually pure white, but some¬ 
times with a slight shading of pink on 
outer petals. A strong grower.

duces wonderful, long, pointed buds; 
the open flowers are semi-double.

lemon-yellow, large, and of perfect for¬ 
mation. Strong, upright growth. One

MAMAN COCHET, WHITE. (T.) Of 
same sturdy habit, size of bloom, and 
delicate fragrance as the Maman Cochet,

few- best roses.
