double flowers of above average size; brilliant orange car-

pointed bud opening to a very double, high-centered, long 
lasting, very large, moderately fragrant flower. Continuous 
free bloomer.

Vigorous, upright grower, free flowering, and does not ap- 
pear to be troubled by heat. A brilliant color.

gold striped with red. When open copper on inside with re-

ous in growth and free flowering. Long, pointed bud; flower

petals orient-red shaded cerise-orange; inside salmon-pink.

the foliage develops freely and is of fine color.

size, perfect in half open state, showing clean, attractive cen- 
ters when fully open; petals enormous; very fragrant. Plants 
branching; particularly free flowering and healthy.

beautiful Rose. It is a strong grower with well-shaped buds.

lemon yellow bud heavily splashed with crimson before 
opening, developing into a well formed, sweetly scented

growth. The pure yellow buds are of ideal form. Beautiful, 
large, double flowers which last without fading. A splendid 
variety for cutting and for bedding. 
Hinrich Gaede—In an unusual shade of Rose there is 
nothing to equal this variety which is another of our intro- 
ductions of two or three years back. Color is a rich luminous 
vermilion shaded golden yellow, a color such as is found in 
the modern Zinnias. Very free continuous bloomer with a rich 
fruity fragrance. One of the most charming garden varieties. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria — Creamy white, immense 
substance, petals smooth and nicely arranged. A popular 
variety.

in the white section; of splendid form, and a very strong

fine, globular form with shadings of soft salmon; sweetly 
perfumed. Plants are notably strong and bushy, bearing good 
foliage, and is seldom attacked by disease.

in strength to the Radiance type of Rose. Beautiful, dark 
bronzy green, disease resistant foliage. Rich lemon yellow 
flowers, very sweetly scented and a very free flowering vari- 
ety.

buds, developing into perfect high-centered full, double 
flowers.

strong vigorous compact growth. A profuse and continuous

Rose-pink, the petals pleasingly reflexed. Well named, as 
both form and color are very lovely. A fine cutting Rose, 
unusually free blooming. 
President Hoover—A splendid combination of cerise pink, 
flame, scarlet and yellow. Gives the most dazzling effect 
ever seen in any Rose. The flower is large and the bud 
beautifully pointed. Petals are broad and thick, retaining 
this characteristic days after the flowers are open. Splendid 
keeper and wonderfully fragrant. 
Radiance—A splendid and popular Rose, deep pink in color. 
Will produce 3 foot breaks without pinching; almost mildew 
proof, and a wonderfully fine Rose to handle. 
Talisman—A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius 
Pernet. “Like a choice, rare cameo, this seedling Rose stands 
out in rich and distinctive relief against any background.” 
Talisman is already so well-known that it needs no further 
comment.
