Ordinary roses do not thrive in the shrubbery border, 

 but Rosa rugosa is beautiful there 



ROSA. Rose. 



Rugosa. Japanese Rose. 4 to 6 feet. 

 The ideal rose for the shrubbery border. Its 

 foliage is the finest of all the roses, being thick 

 and curiously crinkled, of rich green, turning to 

 yellow and red in the fall. It has strong canes, 

 crowned with clusters of large semi-double flowers, 

 (illustrated above) and it blooms throughout the 

 summer. The flowers are followed by showy red 

 fruits. Excellent for hedges. Set 2 feet apart.

Van Houttei. Single Bridal Wreath, s to 6 

 feet. "Of all the Spiraeas, this is transcendentally 

 the best," says The Garden Magazine. The

 flowers, and in May and June constitute the glory 

 of the shrubbery border. Each flower is like a 

 miniature wild rose. This Spiraea is at its best 

 when planted in masses; it is unexcelled as a 

 specimen, and beautiful in a hedge, set 2 feet apart, 

 (See illustration to left). My plants are unusu- 

 ally bushy and give an instant effect.
