Dwarf Polyantha, or Baby Roses 



A class of minature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover the entire 

 plant with bloom all through summer and fall. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy. Let us 

 tell you something about these miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to wake 

 up to the fact that they have come to stay. They are useful either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effect. 20 cents 

 each; six for $1.00; two-year plants, 50 cents each; three for $1.25. 



ANNA MULLER— The pink Baby Rambler; always in bloom. 



BABY RAMBLER — Completely hides itself all summer; bright 

 red. 



CATHERINE ZEIMET— The White Bady Rambler; extra. 



CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting. 1890)— (H. Poly). 

 Known the world over as one of the very best of all bedding 

 Roses. The only rival of "Hermosa" as a bedder .and market 

 pot plant. The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, shading 

 toward the center to bright silvery-pink. Everybody's Rose. 



ELLEN POULSON— Dark brilliant pink; fragrant; fine. 



ERNA TESCHENDORFF — Deep crimson flushed with carmine; 

 very dark. 



JESSIE — Bright cherry-crimson. Superb. 



LE PONCEAU — Dark red in large clusters. 



MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER— This is the popular 

 Baby Pink Rose. It is also known as Sweetheart and Mignon. 



In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu- 

 larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific 

 Coast, but recently even in the effete East and everywhere in 

 America they are planting it simply by thousands for cut flowers. 

 It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature 

 Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds and combines in 

 beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of floral 

 work. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected 

 in the winter should be a money-maker, both outdoors and 

 under glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color, 

 blush, shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. 



MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH— Flowers the delicate pink of Dorothy 

 Perkins. 



PERLE d'OR— Coppery-orange, changing to fawn. 



PHYLLIS — Pretty, bright carmine-pink, very bushy and of 

 branching habit, producing long feathery .panicles of flowers 

 from June until frost. A novel Rose, ideal for bedding, massing 

 and decorative use in pots.

Price, 



ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)— This is the famous Mrs. Taft 

 Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This Rose is in a 

 class by itself; no Rose ever produced has such substance of 

 petal; color creamy- white with rainbow tints; a beauty and a 

 wonder. 



BESSIE BROWN — A Rose of transcendent beauty; of the largest 

 size; color pearly-wrjite with a delicate tinge of fawn. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE— For the best red garden Rose it lies 

 between this one, Rhea Reid and Helen Gould. Some say one 

 and some say the other. 



ETOILE DE LYON— Still the best large golden-yellow Rose. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet) — What the introducers 

 sayl This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two years' trial in the 

 garden /we pronounce it as good if not better than any Rose for 

 the garden ever sent out. We bought the entire stock of this 

 Rose, paying $1,000 for two plants, this being by far the highest 

 recorded price ever paid for any Rose. The color is a delicate 

 yellow suffused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very chaste 

 and beautiful. The color, with its immense size and exquisite 

 form, makes it without question the greatest Tea Rose ever in- 

 troduced, and we are proud to have brought it out." 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the 

 shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; 

 elegant. 



KAISERIN QUGUSTA VICTORIA— A grand white garden 

 Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double; fine 

 buds and flowers. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses) — Such 

 beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well- 

 nigh marvelous and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know 

 of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly 

 pointed; as they expand they show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring two and a half inches from base to tip. 



Flowers superb when open, extra large, perfectly double and of 

 splendid substance. Small pot plants will in the open ground 

 quickly make large, strong bushes and produce, on long, stiff 

 stems, great numbers of perfect flowers that are enchanting in 

 fragrance and delicate brightness. The color is ricn, clear pink, 

 changing to a silvery-rose. As we see it, one good Rose like any 

 of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole collection of poor ones. 



PRESIDENT TAFT (McCulloug , 1908)— This Rose was raised 

 in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us sav right 

 here, while some of you may not admire the President himself 

 you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is 

 without question the most remarkable of all pink roses. It 

 has shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose. 

 It is a fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, fragrant 

 and in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank Good, who is 

 probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America, 

 says: "Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and 

 then you will not say enough." 



RADIANCE (Cook, 1909) — A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying, 

 beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The 

 form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms, 

 constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than This)— 

 This Rose attracted our attention from the very first time we 

 ever saw it in flower. It is of the largest size, and as you will 

 notice, the flower is built up, or rounded and very double. The 

 color is a pure snow-white. Sometimes outdoors it is tinged 

 pink, which only adds to its great beauty. No Rose surpasses 

 it in vigorous growth, and in the immense size of its buds and 

 flowers — indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches lit in 

 size. Deliciously fragrant. 



WM. R. SMITH — This Rose has several'names, such as Charles 

 Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden's Blush, etc. Color delicate 

 blush. It has no superior as a garden Rose. 



The Newer and More Scarce Hybrid Roses 



Price, 25 cents each, except where noted. Two-year size, 60 cents each, except where noted, 

 suitable for planting in cold climates. All are extremely fragrant. 



These Roses are hardy and 



AMERICAN BEAUTY — Color red, with touches of crimson, and

 fragrance than American Beauty. A most beautiful Rose and 

 a great favorite. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 



GEORGE DICKSON — Velvety black, scarlet-crimson, with 

 brilliant scalret reflexed tips, with heavy and unique pure 

 crimson-maroon veining on reverse.

PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY, or GEORGE AHRENDS— 



This is a wonderful new Rose, just as fine in its way as a pink 

 Rose as White American Beauty is .as a white Rose. Extra 

 fine; brilliant clear pink. 



SIR THOMAS LIPTON (Conard, 1905)— (R.) The best pure 

 white Rugosa Rose, Strong and vigorous; grows four feet high. 

 Flowers perfectly double; pure snow-white. Fragrant. 



WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY, or FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 

 J ;f-This grand white Rose has become renowned as the very 

 highest type of its class and the best snow white Rose ever 

 Introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong grower, and has the 

 Vigor and hardness of an oak. Its magnificent flowers are 

 nothing less than glorious — immense in size and produced with 

 great freedom. Color ia a marvelous white,' without a tinge 

 of yellow or any other shade. A true paper- white, the standard 

 by whieh all white Roses are judged. We grew "White emsn- 

 fan Bfesuty" literally by |hfi thousands, £Q e?n*»i * w S:>e9P
