McGredy's Scarlet —Large flowers are brilliant scarlet with orange 
base and the uper portions of the petals are lightly washed crimson.

description of this Rose. It seems as if all the shades of a desert 
sunset have been caught in all their splendor and held by this 
beautiful Rose. The deep center glows with vivid Oriental red, 
shading to rose, as the bud expands and gradually passing to 
delicate mauve in the full blown flower. The flowers are large

very profuse. 
President Hoover —This is a glorious Rose, wonderfully free in the 
easy manner in which it grows and charming in its color arrange¬ 
ment which is a splendid combination of cerise pink, flame, scarlet

effect ever seen in any Rose. It is one of the most cheerful Roses 
imaginable. The flower is large and the bud beautifully pointed. 
The petals are broad and thick. 
Radiance —A splendid and popular Rose, deep pink in color. Will 
procuce 3 foot breaks without pinching,- almost mildew proof, and 
a wonderfully fine Rose to handle. 
Red Radiance —A duplicate of its parent in every respect save color 
which is a brilliant red; very free flowering in habit and vigorous 
in growth. A wonderful variety in every way and a welcome 
addition. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts —A most beautifully shaped, long bud, and a 
full, double flower of rich orange-gold, shading to a saffron- 
yellow; growth vigorous and very free flowering. The most beau¬ 
tiful Rose of its color yet introduced. 
Souvenir de Georges Pernet —While this is not as sensational in color 
as the Claudius Pernet we know it is one of the most promising 
bedding Roses offered in many years. It is wonderfully vigorous 
in growth and freedom of bloom. The color of the flowers, which 
are exceptionally large and of globular form, is a brilliant orient- 
red, shading to cochineal-carmine at the end of the petals and the 
entire Rose is suffused with a golden sheen, making it one of the 
most attractive colored Roses that has been offered in many years. 
Talisman —A seedling of Opehlia and Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
“Like a choice, rare cameo, this new seedling Rose stands out in 
rich and distinctive relief against any background.” Talisman is 
already so well known that it needs no further comment. 
Ville de Paris —A rich buttercup yellow much in the style of Mrs. 
Beckwith, but with longer buds and larger flowers, and purer in 
color. The plant is of vigorous growth and very free flowering. 
Wilhelm Kordes —An imported variety that is making splendid head¬ 
way in popularity. The color is a combination of luminous pink, 
bronze and yellow shadings that are most attractive. This variety, 
we predict, will forge its way very rapidly to the front.
