THE DOCTOR—This is considered by many to be the most beautifully 
colored of all roses. The long, pointed buds open into simply enormous, yet 
graceful blooms, so fragrant that you can detect them many yards away. 
It is a pink with a life, an iridescence, a sheen that is beyond description. 
Each flower is so perfect, so gorgeous, that you will consider it almost 
priceless. It is far more beautiful than can be described.

black Rose in our estimation. Deep velvety crimson, fragrant and very last- 
ing. A vigorous shrubby plant, with almost single flowers of deep blackish- 
scarlet. , 
COLUMBIA—Full petaled rose-pink buds deepening as the blossom opens; 
erect on long stems; vigorous, intensely fragrant, and a good keeper.

vivid color of coppery red and yellow. Very hardy, vigorous, healthy growth.

robust, easy growing, free-flowering Rose. Bright copper-yellow with

er produced in great profusion throughout summer. De-

are clear brilliant, unfading pink, and as a cut flower it 
retains its form and lasts longer than any other Rose 
we know. A winner of many awards. The growth is vig- 
orous, the foliage healthy, and it blooms all the time 
from early summer to frost. 
GOLDEN DAWN—Ovoid, lemon-yellow bud is splashed 
with crimson, opening into a well formed, sweetly scent- 
ed, double sunflower yellow bloom. 
RED RADIANCE—Cerise-red. A sport of Radiance, 
it has the same form, habit of growth, fragrance, and 
healthy foliage. The difference is in the color, which 
is an even shade of cerise-red. Like Radiance it is long 
lived, free blooming and does well under a wide variety 
of growing conditions.
