8 ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO . 



Polyantha, or Baby Roses 



A class of miniature 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 pur- 

 poses 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 sum- 

 mer; bright red. 



CATHERINE ZEIMET — The White Baby Rambler; 

 extra. 



ELLEN POULSON — Dark brilliant pink; fragrant; 

 fine. 



ERNA TESCHENDORFF — Deep crimson flushed 

 with carmine; very dark 



JESSIE — Bright cherry-crimson. Superb. 



LE POCHEAIJ — Dark red in large clusters. 



MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRLNNER — 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 popularity. 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 sim- 

 ply 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 

 combined 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. 



MBS. WM. H. CUTBISH — Flowers the delicate pink 

 of Dorothy Perkins. 



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

Baby Dorothy. 



New Polyantha, or Baby Roses 



Price 25 Cents Each ; Two-Year Plants, 60 Cents. 



BABY DOROTHY — This is a glorious Rose. Flowers 

 resemble the Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides 

 the plant with its bloom. 



BABY ECHO — The best Polyantha produced. Color 

 rosy-flesh color. Of splendid strong growth and 

 freedom of bloom, which are of wonderful keeping, 

 qualities either on or off the plant. This is the 

 improved Baby Tausendschoen. It has more sub- 

 stance and more color, and is the best of all Baby 

 Roses for pot culture. Be sure and try this one. 



BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAU- 

 TIES — Its flowers are large, so much like Thou- 

 sand Beauties, that it has been rechristened Bab^ r 

 Thousand Beauties. It is a bush form of the 

 Thousand Beauties, having all the charm of the 

 variable coloring in its flowers that its parent 

 has, being firm, white, delicately flushed pink, 

 changing to deep rosy-carmine. A splendid Rose. 

 Try it. 



EDITH CAVELL — Bright crimson; white eye; very 

 beautiful. One of the best new Baby Roses. 



ETOILE LUISANTE or BABY HERRIOT — Just pic- 

 ture to yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose 

 ("Cecile Brunner"), colored up like the Daily Mail 

 Rose ("Mme. Edouard Herriot"), only brighter and 

 more brilliant than when that variety is at its 

 best, and you will have some conception of the 

 beauty of this little gem which on account of the 

 similarity in color has been known among the 

 cut flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is a 



shrimp-pink with intense, coppery-scarlet suffu- 

 sion, the base of the petals golden-yellow which 

 intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant 

 is of free growth and floriferous. We are certain 

 that Baby Herriot will please everyone. 



GEORGE ELGER — A lovely little golden-yellow 

 Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea 

 blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth 

 free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced 

 in profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow 

 buds open into pretty little symmetrical Roses. 

 Will prove a very popular corsage variety; is 

 grown in quantity now for this purpose. 



GRUSS AN AACHEN — Yellowish-rose colored with 

 salmon-pink and red shadings; full, strong, free 

 blooming and disease proof; erect and of moder- 

 ate growth. Owing to the size and beauty of its 

 flowers and its symmetrical growth, this variety 

 is highly recommended for low, bright massing. 



LE MARNE — Dwarf, perpetual flowering Polyantha. 

 Semi-double flowers, bright salmon-rose at the 

 edges, rosy-blush inside. Blooms abundantly and 

 continuously in bouquets of fifteen to forty flow- 

 ers. Has fine keeping qualities. 



MLLE. FRANCISQUE FAVRE — Dwarf Polyantha. 

 Robust in growth, quite continuous in bloom, 

 flowering in large trusses of single flowers. Color, 

 velvety crimson, with large silver-white eye. Ex- 

 tremely showy,
