NEW INTRODUCTIONS AND SPECIAL CLASSES 



These roses should be planted two and a half 

 feet apart, and after the first season no pruning is 

 necessary except removal of dead wood and an 

 occasional thinning. 



DWARF POLYANTHAS 



There are a number of other classes of roses, the 

 best of which for garden decoration for the average 

 amateur are the Dwarf Polyanthas. These give con- 

 stant bloom, from frost to frost, mostly in trusses 

 or panicles. 



One of these, Gruss an Aachen, has been con- 

 sidered good enough to be included in the first list 

 of light-colored roses. 



Mr. Theodore Wirth, Superintendent of the Min- 

 neapolis parks, in the Rose Annual for 1916, gives 

 the following list as best for that section: Mme. 

 Levavasseur, Katherine Zeimet, Marie Pavie, 

 Primula, Annchen Muller, Clothilde Soupert, Cecile 

 Brunner and Etoile d'Or. 



Reverend A. H. Scott, of Ontario, Canada, writing 

 in the 1916 Rose Annual says: " Jessie cannot be 

 beaten among the Dwarf Polyanthas." 



Undoubtedly the above are all good, and in addi- 

 tion the following do well: 



Ellen Poulson Dark brilliant pink. 



George Elger Coppery golden yellow. 



Leonie Lamesch Bright copper red — golden center. 



Orleans Rose Geranium red — white center. 



Rodeatte Clear cherry red. 



Yvonne Rabier White.
