GLOAMING 
(Plant Patent No. 137) 
An outstanding pink Rose for exhibition blooms. 
In it seems to be reflected the breathtaking 
beauty of the last fleeting rays of a perfect 
autumn sunset—delicate salmon-pink, blend- 
ing into tawny orange and gold. How 
happy that by a miracle of nature this unforget- 
able beauty is preserved in a Rose! Yet for all 
its loveliness, Gloaming does not require pam- 
pering. Sturdy, tall, not afraid of the toughest 
winter, it ‘can take it.”’ A favorite cut-flower 
variety that is a ‘‘must’’ for every Rose-lover.
