sheened, solid scarlet throughout, semi-single, the blooms are 
produced in great profusion throughout the season, and are

of strong, robust habit, with large long buds of beautiful 
shape, which develop into good full bloom, color bright 
chamois, shading to yellow with apricot at center and peach-

orange when partly developed, pinkish fawn of lovely shade 
when fully open, when it looks like a full, fluffy-eilk rosette. 
MRS. CHARLES BELL—It may be described as a shell-pink 
Radiance, and is a sport of that well-known Rose. It has no 
characteristics which make it distinct from Radiance except 
that it is shell pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, Red Radiance and 
Radiance offer a range of color that will be welcome, and 
there are no finer garden Roses for America than these 
three.

fect shape; of excellent habit; the flowers standing up well 
on long, stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Excel¬

able of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense deep pink 
color possessed by no other Rose. 
RADIANCE— (H. T.)—Brilliant rose-pink buds, opening to 
well-formed shining flowers with lighter tints on the reverse 
of the petals: globular in shape and very fragrant. The 
plant makes splendid growth, has wonderful blooming quali¬ 
ties.

quisite shade, a sport from Columbia; semi-double, one of 
the freest bloomers in existence; produces beautiful foliage 
in profusion.

grace and charm. Its velvety, brilliant glowing scarlet-

fade, as the reflex of the petals is satiny crimson-scarlet.

ent, Radiance, in habit, bearing big, globular flowers of deep 
rose-red on strong, individual canes which are freely pro¬ 
duced all summer until frost.

and develops into full double flowers. The plant is a strong 
grower, with glossy green foliage and free flowering. 
TEMPLAR (H. T.)—Bud medium size, globular; flower medium 
size, double globular, very lasting. Vigorous, upright, abun¬ 
dant and continuous bloomer. A new forcing Rose which is 
making its way into the garden. Clear bright red, of ex¬ 
ceeding double form and with fine strong stems. Few thorns. 
Perfumed.

the appearance of a bank of snow. It is pure "white in color, 
long in bud, of fine form.

Beautiful light fawn color, almost white; rightly described 
as an almost white La France. Extra fine.
