 grant; borne on long stems continuously through- 

 out the season. Absolutely hardy everywhere. 

 Splendid for hedging, cemetery and park work. 



Miscellaneous Roses 



AMOEXA (The Pink Flowering Cherokee Rose) — 



This wonderfully beautiful Laevigata or Cherokee 

 Rose was raised in California, and it will sweep 

 the state like wildfire when it is once known. 

 The flowers are the same as the white flowering 

 Cherokee, except that the color is a glowing pink 

 with golden-yellow center. Resembles huge apple 

 blossoms. 15 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents. 



DOUBLE LAEVIGATA (or the Double Flowering

 double white flowers; very fine. The foliage of 

 this Rose is very distinct. 10 cents each; two-

 center filled with golden-yellow anthers. 10 

 cents; two-year-old plants, 50 cents. 



WICHURAIANA.or MEMORIAL ROSE (Dr. Wichura, 

 of Japan, 1886)— It is difficult to conceive any- 

 thing more appropriate, beautiful and enduring 

 for covering graves and plots in cemeteries than 

 the Hardy Memorial Rose. It creeps along the 

 ground as closely as an Ivy. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in lavish profusion in July. They are 

 single, pure white, with a golden-yellow disc. 

 five to six inches in circumference. It is also 

 immensely valuable as a climbing Rose, for cov- 

 ering arches, fences, etc. 10 cents each; two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cents. 



SPLENDID PEONIES Hardy Everywhere 



" Aristocrat of the Flowers " 



Peonies for Pleasure 



This book of "Peonies for Pleasure" gives infor- 

 mation on Peony history; soil and plants to use; 

 how and when to plant; fertilizers and how to apply, 

 and describes the most extensive planting of really 

 valuable Peonies ever gathered together under the 

 sun; describes the old and the new, as well as the 

 plebeian and aristocrat of the Peony family. If you 

 want information on the plant that stands next to 

 the Rose, in beauty, that is practically known to the 

 amateur as simply a red, white and pink Peony, 

 then send for "Peonies for Pleasure." 



Monsier Jules Elie. 



The wonderful improvement made during recent 

 years in these old-fashioned hardy plants has brought 

 them into a renewed popularity. The gorgeous flow- 

 ers, which rival the finest Roses in size, form and 

 color, are produced in great abundance. After once 

 being planted they require little care and attention, 

 thrive anywhere, and are absolutely hardy even in 

 the coldest climates; each year after planting they 

 grow into greater value, producing more and more 

 flowers. They are not troubled with insect pests. 

 Try some of our fine Peonies and see what grand 

 flowers they are. 



Get it out of your head that there are only Red, 

 White and Pink Peonies. To illustrate: At flower- 

 ing time, people who visit our field will say, "I have 

 Pink and White Peonies, I desire only Red ones," 

 but when they are shown the Pink and White they 

 invariably exclaim, "How grand! I have none like 

 them." There is as much difference in Peonies as 

 there is in Roses.
