BUSH ROSES 
YELLOW AND ORANGE 
Golden Emblem. The lovely long buds of golden 
yellow are beautifully tinted with crimson on the 
outer petals. Opens to a full golden yellow flower. 
The glossy green foliage is particularly fine, does 
not mildew, and the buds are borne on long stiff 
stems. 
Mrs. Erskine P. Thom. This is the most valuable 
yellow rose for the garden. The nicely shaped buds 
and well shaped open flowers are bright canary- 
yellow without other shadings, the strong growing, 
vigorous bush is lavish with the blooms. We know 
of no other yellow rose that we would prefer to 
recommend ahead of it. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. Everyone likes it for its 
cheerful profusion of bloom. Is extremely easy to 
grow, the dark green, glossy foliage being almost 
immune to mildew. Color is dark orange-yellow. 
Buds small but beautifully formed. 
PINK WITH COPPER SHADES 
Hinrich Gaede. Without doubt one of the best 
roses introduced in recent years. Rosy copper with 
brilliant orange tones which hold until the last petal 
drops. Buds extra large, of good form, borne singly 
on long strong stems. Blooms freely and the dark 
glistening foliage is very resistant to mildew. You 
cannot pass this rose without exclaiming over its 
unusual beauty. 75c each. 
President Herbert Hoover. The fame of this won¬ 
derful multi-colored rose has swept the country and 
certainly no rose planting would be complete with¬ 
out it. Combines shades of cerise-pink, flame, scar¬ 
let, and yellow, the long buds being beautifully 
formed, opening slowly and possessing a most de¬ 
licious fragrance. 
Talisman. A vividly colored rose justifies all of 
the fine things that have been said about it. The 
brilliant coloring is a mixture of orange-scarlet and 
golden yellow in irregular proportions. Very double, 
exquisitely shaped, borne on long stems, exceed¬ 
ingly sweet scented.

BUSH ROSES 
REDS 
Cuba. This dazzling rose somewhat resembles 
Padre, but its brilliant long orange-scarlet buds are 
deeper in color with heavier stems. A semi-single 
rose, tall in growth, producing a continuous suc¬ 
cession of richly colored blooms. 
E. G. Hill. Immense flowers of lasting, dazzling 
scarlet, ne'ver fading or turning blue, but actually 
becoming deeper red as it opens. Borne on long 
steins, and are deliciously fragrant. There are few 
red roses which will rival E. G. Hill, for it is truly 
a magnificent rose. 
Etoile de Hollande. This magnificent red rose is 
ranked among the first three of its color by every¬ 
one who knows roses, and many will place it first. 
Perfect buds are medium size, opening beautifully 
and cleanly into glorious flowers with incomparable 
fragrance. Bush is strong, free branching, healthy. 
Actually has no serious fault. 
Margaret McGredy. A brilliantly colored master¬ 
piece, of glorious orange scarlet or brick red. Rather 
a short stout bud opening to a large, full, magnifi¬ 
cent flower. No lanky leafless stems here, but a 
beautiful, heavily foliaged, well-branched bush. 
Night. One of the darkest of all Roses, deep crim¬ 
son shaded black and maroon. Buds and flowers 
well shaped, quite double, has spicy clove and cin¬ 
namon fragrance. We consider this to be the best 
of the deep dark reds, much better than the over¬ 
publicized Nigrette. 50c each. 
Padre. H. T. Fine long petals of coppery scarlet 
flushed with yellow at the base—a most novel and 
attractive coloring. An exceedingly free-flowering 
sort; strong, upright grower. 
Red Radiance. Similar in growth to Pink Radi¬ 
ance, but has big, bold cerise-red flowers which are 
borne on long heavy stems. Most sweetly damask 
scented.
