Better Roses 43 
Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. (Color illustration, page 41.) Lovely 
rich orange with yellow and copper shadings and veinings that 
make it most charming. Very beautiful. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. Another remarkable white rose, distinctive 
because of its peach-pink tinged center. Erect stems carry many 
delicately formed blooms throughout the season. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. A spot of radiant pink. Clear shell-pink blooms, 
but distinctive in color. A new rose but exceptional in its class. 
Mrs. E. P. Thorn. A strong, healthy yellow rose of better form than 
most yellows. Rich lemon flowers, very sweet scented and with 
dark green, heavy foliage. A front-liner by reason of its color. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Dupont. A gold medal rose of golden yellow. Buds 
rather small but exquisitely formed, opening to the richest yellow 
known in roses. 
Pink Dawn. Extra long buds of glistening rose-pink, excellent for 
cutting. Heavy bloomer. 
President Herbert Hoover. Multi-colored. Buds borne on long, 
strong stems open to dark pink and rose, orange streaked with 
red, shadings of salmon and apricot. Its vigorous growing qualities 
bring it to the head of the list. 
Radiance. The old reliable original pink rose. The best all around 
rose for beginners. Sparkling pink blooms on strong, vigorous 
plants bring perfect rose satisfaction. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A bright unfading yellow rose with 
shining foliage and vigorous habit. The standard of yellows. 
Talisman. Multi-colored. For all-round performance this multi¬ 
colored rose is the winner. A combination of orange, yellow, rose- 
red and scarlet, making the finest garden rose for cutting. 
Ville de Paris. A buttercup-yellow rose of unfailing popularity, 
pointed in bud and fairly large in bloom. Long stemmed and 
willowy, it is fairly profuse in blossoms. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Very showy, salmon and flaming orange shades 
mingle in the lovely, firm, curled petals. Best in cooler weather 
but very variable, and lovely at all times.

weather in spring and summer. Their magni¬ 
ficent blooms are produced in early summer 
and again in late fall, surpassing all other 
Roses in brilliance of color and in fragrance.

Frau Karl Druschki. The most famous white 
rose in existence. Buds are pinkish, but 
the delightfully shaped flowers are pure, 
snowy white. Continuous bloom and beauty 
make its lack of fragrance unnoticeable. 
Mrs. John Laing. Symmetrical, smooth flowers of soft, glowing pink, 
deliciously sweet. It blooms very dependably from early summer 
until late fall and is always one of the loveliest things in the garden.
