80 THE BLOSSOM CIRCLE OF THE YEAR 



Hermosa and the Burbank, with the Teas, Duchesse de Brabant, 

 Devoniensis and others may be made. Here alone will be found 

 room for the very vigorous growing ruddy Richmond; the Frau 

 Karl Druschki will be better in this situation than in the beds 

 and the Paul Neyron will not look so scraggy if placed here. 

 Winter pruning of the Roses in this situation would keep them 

 either lower than or on a level with the wall. If space does not 

 permit the garden of Roses a border or hedge against an Ivy- 

 covered wall or an evergreen planting of any kind is most artistic 

 and always beautiful and satisfactory. 



BABY RAMBLER ROSES 



For a planting that promises the minimum of work and the 

 maximum of results, both for cut flowers in the house and for 

 blossoms in the borders, there is nothing that will equal the many 

 kinds of Baby Rambler Roses. Many people confuse' these with 

 the Wichuraiana hybrids and the Rambler Roses, and pass them 

 by in the catalogues without reading about them. The Rambler 

 Roses in the South are most prone to mildew and are avoided for

 bushes were not masses of the soft pink clusters of Baby Dorothy 

 Perkins Roses. The catalogue name is Annie Muller. 



Catherine Zeimet is the white of this Rose. Louise Walter 

 is the softest of flesh pinks, with a cup-like individual bloom, and 

 the outer edge of the petals Hned with a deeper touch of pink. 

 The fullclusters look like the branches of Baby Roses that we put 

 on the hats of the tiny little girls. They are also clean and fra- 

 grant and absolutely everblooming. 



Of the reds, Erna Teschendorf? is the reddest, while Madame 

 de Norbert Levavasseur is the color of the Crimson Rambler. 

 All of them are good. The California Rose, Cecile Brunner, is
