IMPERIAL POTENTATE. Firm-petaled blooms 
of dark, shining rose-pink, shaded lighter on re¬ 
verse of petals; fragrant. Erect branching plant. 
Good foliage. Healthy, hardy. 
J. J. L. MOCK. Giant carmine-pink blooms, 
with silvery rose inner surface. Healthy vig¬ 
orous bush. 
JOANNA HILL. Bright yellow and cream- 
colored flowers. Very much like Sunburst but 
stronger bush and stems making a good cutting 
rose. Long lasting exquisite buds. A standard 
among the new roses. 
JULIEN POTIN. Sometimes called “Golden 
Pernet.’’ Large size, pointed, clear yellow buds 
open to a splendid golden yellow bloom which 
holds its color well. Very fragrant. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. A beau¬ 
tiful rose with elegant large pointed buds and 
very full double flowers, delicate creamy white, 
deliciously fragrant. The plant is a strong 
healthy grower and constant bloomer. The flow¬ 
ers are on long stiff stems, with rich, glossy 
foliage. 
KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. Sport of Killarney 
with much deeper pink color, almost crimson at 
times. 
KILLARNEY, DOUBLE WHITE. Pure white 
blooms. An old favorite. 
KILLARNEY, PINK. An old favorite with 
long, pointed, shapely buds and bright spark¬ 
ling pink, double, lasting, strongly tea-scented 
flowers. 
LADY HILLINGDON. Long, slender buds of 
intense deep golden yellow; profuse bloomer. 
Just about our hardiest yellow rose. 
LORD CHARLEMONT. Beautifully formed, 
high centered, crimson flowers on stout, rigid 
stems. The plant is free in growth and blocm, 
and the flower is so magnificent and the colors 
so superb that we consider it to be easily one 
of the best three or four red roses. 
LOS ANGELES. The lovely long buds of th.s 
almost perfect rose open slowly to blooms of 
beautiful form. The color is flaming pink, spring¬ 
ing from a golden base. Stems are long aud 
strong, making it ideal for cutting. 
LUCILE RAND. A splendid large flower; in 
color a lively bright rose-carmine; delicately 
sweet scented. Good grower and profuse bloomer. 
LUXEMBURG. The blending of colors in bud 
and bloom make this a most beautiful and at¬ 
tractive rose. Its color is coral red, shaded 
chrome yellow, opening to a large flower of 
shrimp pink, shaded coppery orange. Free and 
constant bloomer, strong grower. 
MADAME BUTTERFLY. A glorified sport (.-f 
Ophelia with all the colors of Ophelia intensified 
making it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and 
gold. The buds are a lovely shade of xndiau red, 
yellow at the base. 
MAMAN COCHET. Huge, long pointed flow¬ 
ers double to the center and deliciously fragrant, 
pale pink. One of the best old Tea Roses, es¬ 
pecially adapted to the South. 
MAMAN COCHET, WHITE. Sport of Maman 
Cochet, with creamy white flowers, having edges 
flushed rose. 
MARGARET McGREDY. Buds and flowers very 
large and double. The color is a brilliant blaze 
of Oriental-red passing as the bloom ages to a 
carmine-rose. Fine healthy foliage and strong 
growth make this rose a wonderful bedding rose. 
MME. JULES BOUCHE. A splendid white, at 
times slightly tinted with just a touch of tender 
blush-pink. Long, pointed, shapely buds and full, 
double, fragrant, well formed flowers of vigor¬ 
ous growth, and a free and continuous bloomer. 
MISS ROWENA THOM. A cross between those 
two popular roses. Radiance and Los Angeles, 
with enormous, very double flowers of rose pink. 
Extremely vigorous growth. 
MRS. AARON WARD. Strong, vigorous, but 
compact growth. Tawny, golden buff flowers 
produced all summer. 
MRS. CHAS. BELL (Shell Pink Radiance). A 
superb sport of the famous Radiance; equal in 
every respect, but distinct in color. The shell- 
pink diffused with salmon gives it a pearly 
opalescence. 
MRS. E. P. THOM. A long pointed bud with 
well shaped open flowers of deep yellow. A mass 
of golden-yellow throughout the blooming period. 
This rose is considered much finer than Souvenir 
de Claudius Pernet being a stronger grower and 
better open bloom. 
MRS. HENRY MORSE. One of the best light 
pink colors, two contrasting tones of pink with 
an underlying yellow glow; buds well shaped; 
flowers finely formed, double and high centered; 
fragrant and free flowering. Good cut rose. 
MRS. LOVELL SWISHER. Long shapely buds 
and magnificent flowers of salmon-pink deepen¬ 
ing toward the center. Delightfully tea-scented. 
MRS. McKELLAR. Flower large, double, mod¬ 
erately fragrant, finely formed, solid deep citron 
or delicate pure canary, passing to pearly piim- 
rose, borne on long, strong stem. Growth vigor¬ 
ous, upright; abundant bloomer. 
MRS. PIERRE S. DU PONT. Winner of more 
Gold medals for outdoor blooms than any other 
rose ever grown. The bud is long-pointed, rich 
yellow gold and it holds its color well until 
the end. Foliage is very ornamental, healthy 
and extremely disease-resistant. A most con¬ 
tinuous bloomer. We consider this the finest 
clear yellow rose ever introduced. 
MRS. W. C. MILLER. A stocky, upright grow¬ 
er. Color striking rose with light pink bloom. 
Continuous bloomer. 
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 Premier. 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. 
RADIANCE. Brilliant rose-pink buds, open¬ 
ing to well formed, shining, globular flowers with 
lighter tints on reverse of petal; very fragrant. 
One of the very hardiest growing and profuse 
bloomers 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.
