THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES T.. TRACEWELL.

, Why this Is so is not difficult for any
| one to realize who owns one. When
they bloom. they bloom all over.
| Neither Radiance nor her sister Is
perfect. but they are so easily grown
that home gardeners everywhere plant
them by the thousands every year.
Radiance Is this sort OF rose:
If dozen varieties without names
| were grown by the average amateur
| would place his hand on one bush. and
! declare, II like this one the bcst"
The chances are 900 to that his
selection would be Radiance pink. II
| 1t were not Radiance, undoubtedly II
would be Red Radiance.
When one mentally pictures a rose
| ne sees just flower as the blossoms
! OF these grand varieties. They do not
have the individual something which
distinguishes the Souvenir de Claudr"
Pcrnet. 1t Is true that Red Radia, n
pals IN wet weather. Some clai',
mat the stems OF Radiance are tor
snort wet often they are feet long,.
All IN oil. however. there is scarcely
more satisfactory rose for the anna
| teur to grow. "''''
