Roses 
Brainard’s 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom 
Mme. Jules Bouche. Without doubt the finest of 
the white Hybrid Tea Roses. Flowers are frag¬ 
rant, large and quite double; both bud and fully 
developed flower of wonderful form. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in form of flower and 
growth of plant to Radiance, but the blooms are 
an exquisite, delicate shell pink shaded with soft 
salmon. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. A remarkable fea¬ 
ture of this magnificent new deep lemon yellow 
Rose is its beautiful bronzy green foliage. Buds 
are of medium size and splendid form, opening 
to full double flowers. 
M rs. Henry Bowles. A vigorous growing variety al¬ 
ways in bloom. Splendidly shaped long ovate 
buds; perfect double flowers of a luminous deep 
shade of salmon pink. 
M rs. Henry Morse. Beautiful bright flowers of two 
contrasting tones of pink, with an underlying 
yellow glow. Long, pointed buds; flowers dou¬ 
ble, high-centered and very large. Very free 
blooming and has proved quite hardy. 
M rs. Pierre S. duPont. Medium size long, pointed 
buds of reddish-gold opening to semi-double, 
fragrant flowers of deep golden yellow. The 
growth is fairly upright, of rather heavy texture 
with glossy, disease-resistant foliage. Profuse 
and continuous bloomer. 
Mrs. Sam McCredy. Graceful, long pointed buds 
opening to large, double flowers of brilliant scar¬ 
let-orange changing to copper as the blooms ma¬ 
ture; delicately perfumed. Beautiful bronze foli¬ 
age. Vigorous and free flowering. We recom¬ 
mend this for every garden. 
President Herbert Hoover. A glorious combination 
of maroon, orange and gold in dazzling effect. 
Beautifully pointed buds, developing to large 
flowers with exquisite fragrance. 
Radiance. Brilliant rosy carmine shaded with rich 
pink tints, large full flower, cupped petals. 
Red Radiance. Similar in growth and form to the 
foregoing variety but in color a splendid cerise- 
red. This is one of our finest bedding roses. 
Rose Marie. One of the very finest Roses. Fragrant, 
clear rose pink flowers of large size borne freely 
on good stems. Attractive globular buds. Plants 
are vigorous and free flowering. 
Sir David Davis. We do not hesitate to highly 
recommend this sort as one of the best red bed¬ 
ding Roses; beautiful in either bud or open flow¬ 
er; color deep glowing crimson of an even shade. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. The growth of this 
splendid Rose is all that can be desired. Long 
pointed buds on strong stems developing into 
large, full, beautifully formed flowers of a strik¬ 
ing shade of deep yellow. 
Sunkist. Not large but strong plants producing in 
quantity medium sized, beautiful pointed buds 
of clear yellow lightly shaded orange, becom¬ 
ing pure yellow tinged bright orange. Attractive 
glossy foliage. 
Talisman. A striking combination of shadings of 
gold, apricot, yellow and deep old rose; growth 
is strong and vigorous; glossy, dark green foli¬ 
age. Very free flowering.

Mme. Albert Barbier. This new Hybrid-Perpetual 
might well be called a camellia-shaped Rose. 
The blooms are of cream and pinkish-yellow suf¬ 
fused salmon-flesh, and as they expand show 
tinges of golden apricot in the center. 
Frau Karl Druschki. The ideal white Rose for the 
garden. Immense, pure white flowers on long, 
stiff stems, with beautiful foliage. A strong 
vigorous grower. 
General Jacqueminot. Bright scarlet crimson. 
Doubtless the most popular of the red Roses. 
George Arends or Pink Druschki. Similar in growth 
and form of flower to the popular Frau Karl 
Druschki of which it is a sport but is a beautiful 
delicate rose-pink. 
Mrs. John Laing. One of the best hardy Roses. 
Large, bright shell-pink flowers; very fragrant. 
CLIMBING ROSES 
This class of Roses, though requiring the same 
soil preparation as others, require a very different 
method of pruning. In the spring remove all dead 
wood, and shorten back the long ends. As soon as 
finished blooming, cut away all old wood that has 
flowered, allowing new, strong canes to develop. 
Following varieties, extra heavy plants, 60c each, 
3 for $1.65, 5 for $2.65, 10 for $5.00, 
unless noted.
