ROSES FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES 71 



For Beautifying Banks, Stumps, or Other 



Unsightly Objects 



The Wichuraianas are ideal cover-roses. They are remark- 

 ably free from both insects and disease, with foliage clean, 

 bright, and shiny the entire year. 



The single-flowered sorts bear bright berries, which the 

 birds like. Enterprising railroad companies use these to hold 

 embankments in place; they also add to the roadside beauty. 

 One plant will easily cover 6 square feet of ground.
