save you time and expense. The list which follows is the result 
of our effort and represents the "Cream of the Crop." Plant 
any of them with confidence.

PINK 
Betty Uprichard. H.T. Two-color, copper-red buds, opening into 
semi-double, salmon-pink blooms. A good bloomer and an out¬ 
standing variety. 
Dame Edith Helen. H.T. One of the largest and most perfectly 
shaped pink Roses known. Flowers uniformly well shaped. Has 
attracted unstinted praise. The most perfumed of all pink 
Roses. 
Edith Nellie Perkins. H.T. One of the best. Long pointed buds 
of cream, orange, and pink, overspread with gold flush. Very 
prolific flowering; strong grower. Foliage healthy. 
Editor McFarland. Deep pink. We think this the finest pink 
garden Rose grown today. Its pointed buds on nice long cut¬ 
ting stems last longer and retain their form wonderfully well , 
A Rose that should be in every garden. \ 
Mrs. Charles Bell. H.T. Famous salmon-pink sport of Radiance, 
with all its good qualities. No other Rose has just the same 
lovely color. 
Radiance. H.T. This is a most reliable Rose. It has no serious 
faults and is the best variety for this section. Brilliant rose- 
pink buds opening into well-formed blooms wtih silver tints 
on reverse of the petals. Blossoms are fragrant and plant 
makes vigorous growth. Our most outstanding reliable Rose. 
RED 
E. G. Hill. H.T. A great red Rose. Mcssive blooms of deep crimson and 
scarlet, velvety on inside. Splendid for cutting. Foliage unusually 
healthy. Of vigorous habit. 
#1 
Caledonia 
Etoile de Hollande. H.T. It is said that this is the best red 
Hybrid Tea. Its gigantic flowers of velvety crimson color 
hold up remarkably well, getting lighter in shade instead 
of "bluing" with age. Thrives everywhere and produces a 
fine lot of blooms throughout the season. 
Red Radiance. H.T. Read the description of Radiance and 
apply the good things said of it to this variety, except the 
color, which is a deep rose-red. Blooms until frost and is 
the best all-round red Rose in existence. 
TWO-TONE 
Condesa de Sastago. Vivid colorings of gold, copper, and 
yellow. This matchless Spanish novelty causes everyone to 
stop and admire it. Healthy and upright in growth. Ad¬ 
mired by all. 
President Herbert Hoover. HT. A most popular Rose. It is 
maroon, orange, and gold, rioting in a most contrasting 
fashion. Long, pointed buds; rigid stems. A fine garden 
Rose, blooming well in the autumn. By far the best of its 
color, and superior to Talisman as an outdoor Rose. 
Talisman. H.T. Multi-colored. Glorious combination of or- Mrs. E. P. Thom 
ange, yellow, and rose-red. The fragrant flowers are much 
more highly colored in autumn.
