The “Very Vigorous” Collection 
Everblooming Hybrid Teas 
The world’s standard for judging 
growth and bloom habits of other Roses is 
usually the Radiance family. Since, how- 
ever, so many of our customers already 
have the Radiances, we have grouped to- 
gether 8 varieties in this Special Offer 
equal in growth and blooming habits to 
the Radiance Rose even though not so well 
known. For extreme winter and summer 
hardiness and for disease-resistance and 
other easy-growing qualities,we heartily re- 
commend this set to those who havenot yet 
had too much experience in Rose-growing.
