THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



Rose Bushes for Every Style of Planting 



Moss Roses 



Are delightful to have if only in small numbers. Their qualities are be- 

 coming better known each year. Blanche Moreau, Crested Moss, Glory of 

 Mosses and Old Rose are among a dozen other varieties we have this spring. 

 Rosa Rugosa 



Can be planted in every place. Their elegant green foliage in Summer 

 and delicately colored autumn leaves with rich, scarlet berries in Fall, are 

 certainly attractive, for any kind of planting. Six distinct varieties are in 

 our collection and described in our catalogue. 



Rosa Wichuraiana and Their Hybrids 



Within the last few years Wichuraiana Roses have won the admiration of 

 every lover of beautiful grounds. They are particularly desirable for cov- 

 ering unsightly banks, rocks, walls, etc. 



Austrian Briar Roses 



Are yellow and orange colored. Thev are free blooming and very fas- 

 cinating on account of their distinct coloring. 



Hybrid Perpetual Varieties 

 bloom in June. 

 Our Collection consists of all the 

 most desirable, well tried kinds, such 

 as Baroness Rothschild, Capt. Christy, 

 Fisher Holmes, Frau Karl Druschki, 

 and a hundred others, equally fascina- 

 ting. 



Hybrid Tea Varieties 

 bloom from Spring to Autumn. 

 We have several thousand two year 

 old field grown plants, of such well 

 known varieties as Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, Caroline Testout, Souv. de 

 la Malmaison, Viscountess Folke- 

 stone, Killarney, and fifty others with 

 as many charms. 



Tea Scented and Noisette Varieties 

 bloom from early Spring un- 

 til late Autumn. 



These popular ever-blooming Roses 

 need no introduction. Among the 

 kinds listed in our catalogue are such 

 favorites as Francisca Kruger, Gloire 

 de Dijon, the Cochets, Marechal Niel 

 and Souv. de Pierre Notting. 

 Climbing Varieties 



Of these we have a unique collec- 

 tion, including Zepherine Drouhin, the 

 thornless variety; Clothilde Soupert, 

 Baltimore Belle, La France, Crimson, 

 Pink, White and Yellow Rambler; the 

 staid old Seven Sisters and 25 other 

 kinds, all ready awaiting shipment. 



Standard or Tree Roses 



We have an exquisite collection of these well known Tree Roses. No Rose 

 garden or border is complete without a collection, properly arranged; they add 

 beauty and attractiveness to the garden. We have them in Hybrid Peipetu- 

 als, Hybrid Teas, Bourbons and other kinds, grafted on the hardy stock, 

 Rosa Rugosa. 



Everblooming Baby Ramblers 



While they are not ramblers, they are entirely new and useful as bedding 

 and border varieties, their distinct feature being their free blooming qualities. 

 We have them both in bush and tree form. 



These with hundreds of other Roses are described in our illustrated general 

 catalogue, which is also replete with ornamental Nursery stock for every style 

 of planting. 



The Rose Bushes we offer are all strong tivo year old field-grown plants. They are the 

 kind that produce flowers and not disappointment. 



While we have upwards of 100,000 plants for Spring sales, it is important that orders are 

 placed at once to avoid the usual displeasure of having your order shipped partly complete. 



We make a specialty of designing, laying out and planting Rose Gardens.

is an important adjunct to the home. These grand plants increase in strength 

 and beauty year by year, and unlike the tender bedding plants, burst into 

 growth with the advent of spring and welcome the return of the growing 

 season with a wealth of grace and beauty. Peonies, Phloxes, Irises, Fox- 

 gloves and the like, add a charm and interest that cannot be dispensed 

 with. These and many others, including a large collection of Trees, Shrubs 

 and Vines, are illustrated and described in the new artistic catalog of
