G LOAMI N G (Plant Patent No. 137) 
The popularity of this lovely Modern Rose is increasing 
by such leaps and bounds it has been difficult to enlarge 
our propagation rapidly enough to meet the demand. An 
outstanding pink for exhibition blooms. In it is the 
breathtaking beauty of the last lingering rays of a perfect 
autumn sunset—delicate salmon-pink, blending into 
tawny orange and gold. How happy that this unforget- 
able beauty is preserved in a Rose! Yet for all its loveli- 
ness, Gloaming does not require pampering. Sturdy, tall, 
not afraid of the toughest winter, it ‘‘can take it.’ A 
favorite cut-flower that is a ‘‘must’’ for every Rose-lover.

COUNTESS VANDAL (8 Peer: 
“Queen of Modern Roses’’—acclaimed round the world 
as the most artistic bloom in Rosedom! The first color to 
show between the trim green sepals is a brilliant bronze, 
lightening toward gold at base. The long slender buds hold 
their artistic shape for several days as the petals unfold 
languorously in a lovely panorama of carmine-pink, buff 
and gold. The large, high-centered blooms win high 
honors in the shows—the unique petals quill back most 
interestingly with their symmetrical outer points forming 
a circle, reminiscent of the Rose Window in a great 
cathedral. The alluring fragrance further heightens their 
desirability in the garden and on display in a vase in the 
home. Erect stems, ideal for bouquets and arrangements.
