GLOAMING 
{Plant Patent No. 137) 
LEFT 
Gloaming is typical of our own 
strain; robust growers, long-lived 
plants that stay put wherever 
planted and always “rarin’ to go.” 
This variety has been tested for 
several years. Glowing reports are 
unanimous from everywhere, so we 
can speak of it as of an old friend, 
an established standby. Its large 
buds are carried on long, rigid 
stems, amply clothed with hand¬ 
some foliage. The general tonality 
of Gloaming is salmon, overcast 
with tawny orange and gold at the 
base running up the reverse of the 
petals. Open bloom is very large, 
double, and fragrant. Yes, it is a 
pink Rose, but there is no other like 
it. Retails at $1.50 each.

CARILLON 
CARILLON 
{Plant Patent 
No. 136) 
UPPER RIGHT 
Dictionaries define “carillon” as a complete set of stationary 
bells played upon by means of a pianoforte keyboard. It origi¬ 
nated in northern France and Belgium where cathedrals and 
large churches are specially famed for their carillons. From time 
immemorial the carillon has been a symbol of public rejoicing, 
cheer, and happiness. In times of public distress, as during the World War, carillons 
remain silent. This Rose was named Carillon because it is a singing Rose, a Rose which 
creates a feeling of joy and good cheer. It is never out of tune and its enchanting melody 
pervades the garden! As a carillon is a group of bells, the full harmony of this cheery 
Rose is best obtained by planting in groups, ten plants or more spaced at about 15 to 
16 inches. These make a magic carpet of lustrous coral-flame resting on glossy green 
foliage. The bloom is semi-double but large and fragrant. Although not primarily a 
cut-flower type, Carillon buds make a handsome centerpiece for the dining-table. 
Retails at $1.25 each.
