Evergreen roses — These are especially adapted for covering- 

 rockeries, banks, terraces, etc. The best varieties are the Nichu- 

 raiana, white, Memorial Rose, and Evergreen Gem, large yellow. 

 All of these have a bright shining foliage and showy flowers. 



The Polyanthus or Fairy roses, which bloom in rosettes of 

 large panicles at end of each shoot, are fine for pot culture or 

 open ground and bloom from May to November. We have 

 counted one hundred and twenty flowers in one cluster of the 

 Mignonette variety. 



The best varieties : Clotilde Soupert — a gem of pearly white 

 with salmon center; Parquette — cluster of pure white; Glorie 

 de Polyanthus — bright pink which are beautifully cupped blos-

There are the Tree or Standard Roses and if choice hardy 

 varieties are budded into vigorous Rugosa stocks they prove 

 quite hardy and make a charming plant for lawn ornamejitation.
