fection, but does not last at best over ten days, and is inclined to blight 

 in the bud; has a spicy fragrance; spreads badly from suckers and 

 should not be planted where it cannot be kept under control. Is par- 

 ticularly good against higher shrubbery, or on the lawn for distant ef- 

 fects; has fine autumn foliage of orange and coppery red. 



ROSE. Dorothy Perkins. 4-10 ft. A climber, a cross between R. 

 Wichuriana and Gabriel Luizet (R. Indica) ; one of the most beautiful 

 varieties grown, with many clusters of shell-pink flowers 2 in. across 

 borne at the ends of the branches. It makes an enormous growth which 

 should be headed in to induce lateral growths that will bear the follow- 

 ing year. Blooms only in June and is scentless. 



ROSE. Early Wild (Rosa blanda). 1-3 ft. A low native rose with 

 pale green foliage, hoary beneath, bearing clusters of 1-3 pale pink 

 flowers resembling, but much larger than, the Sweetbrier. Spreads 

 gradually from the root. 



ROSE. Gabriel Luizet. A Hybrid Perpetual; free bloomer with light 

 silvery-pink fragrant flowers; hardy vigorous growth; one of the best. 



ROSE. La France. One of the best hybrid Teas, beautiful in bud 

 and in full flower; of shell pink shading off at the edges to a silvery 

 rose. Very free bloomer, every shoot bearing a flower; fragrant. 

 Though hardy, it is well to give it, as well as all Hybrid Teas, a shel- 

 tered position, and well mulched roots in winter and deep covering of 

 leaves. 



ROSE. Magna Charta. Hybrid Perpetual. Makes a vigorous up- 

 right growth with bright healthy foliage; bears large full bright pink 

 fragrant flowers in June. Do not prune too closely for it runs to foliage 

 instead of bloom. 



ROSE. Mrs. John Laing. Hybrid Perpetual. Of vigorous growth, 

 bearing terminal clusters of three beautifully soft pink roses of fine form. 

 Fragrant. A well-established favorite variety. Blooms again in au- 

 tumn if pruned about one-half in July. 



ROSE. Paul Neyron. Is the largest flowered rose in cultivation; a 

 prolific bloomer of clear deep rose, the flowers are sometimes 6 in. in 

 diameter. Makes a vigorous growth, and if vigorously pruned in July, 

 will bloom again in autumn. 



ROSE. Queen of the Prairie. A hybrid form of Rosa setigera. A 

 vigorous free-growing climbing rose, throwing out many long lateral 

 branches; bears small clusters of double deep rose flowers. Very hardy; 

 blooms toward the end of June; not fragrant.
