ding Rose of splendid habit, producing an abundance of 
bright yellow flowers, richer in quality than any other yellow 
garden Rose. 
Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the old loves of the 
Rose-garden. A dainty, pearly pink flower, lightly touched 
with gold and cream color. The blooms are exquisitely formed. 
President Herbert Hoover. (L. B. Coddington, 1930.) A 
Rose of astonishing vigor, producing long, handsomely shaped 
yellow buds deeply stained with maroon and copper, opening

Verschuren & Son, 1937.) Shapely, bushy plants in bloom from

it is long-lasting and especially fine as a cut-flower under 
artificial light. $2.00 each. 
Radiance. (J. Cook, 1908.) The best-known garden Rose in

less petals, so that it opens perfectly at all times. The color is 
a peculiar shade of red with a metallic finish. $1.25 each.

part of Radiance. Both varieties are deliciously fragrant.

intermediate harmonious shades.

blooms of brilliant shell-pink, with a luminous glow of yellow. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The varieties which belong to this class make heavy bushes 
3 to 6 feet tall and bear a profusion of fine, bold flowers in early 
Summer and a few scanty blooms from then until Autumn when 
a fair second crop is produced. Hardier than Hybrid Teas. 
Frau Karl Druschki. (P. Lambert, 1900.) Finest white Rose of 
any class; beautifully shaped and enormous. Flowers freely 
throughout the season when established. Not fragrant.

with almost double, beautifully pointed flowers of light scarlet- 
crimson; intensely fragrant. 
Georg Arends. (W. Hinner, 1910.) Long-pointed buds and 
exquisitely shaped flowers of clear, soft pink. Fragrant and 
extremely appealing. One of the most beautiful. 
Henry Nevard. (F. Cant & Co., 1924.) A mammoth bloom of 
most perfect form and a frequent winner as “Most Beautiful 
Rose in the Show.” It is velvety crimson in color, and very 
fragrant. Stems are often 2 feet long.

smooth stems and gigantic flowers of deep purple-rose. 
S. M. Gustave V. (P. Nabonnand, 1922.) As prolific as any 
Hybrid Tea. The medium to large blooms are brilliant Paul 
Neyron pink, very double, heavily scented with true old Rose 
perfume. 
Ulrich Brunner. (F. Levet, 1881.) Tall-growing, robust plant 
which produces an abundance of huge, circular, frilled flowers 
of glowing cherry-red. Very showy and popular Rose. 
Austrian Brier Roses 
These are shrub Roses and should not be planted in beds with 
the varieties wanted for cutting. They are ornamental bushes to 
be used as lawn specimens or in shrubby borders. 
$1.00 each; 10 for $9.00

England. Thousands of bright yellow, semi-double flowers in 
long sprays adorn its spreading branches in early Summer.

times mistaken for Harison’s Yellow, but a less vigorous plant 
with smaller, more cup-shaped, and deeper golden yellow 
flowers. An extremely handsome, decorative shrub. 
Rosa Hugonis 
An extremely decorative shrub Rose resembling the Austrian 
Briers in habit, producing an abundance of long, wide-spreading 
branches, each buried in a load of single, pale yellow flowers in 
very early Spring. One of the finest ornamental shrubs. Strong 
plants, 75c each; 10 for $6.50. Potted plants, $1.00 each.
