12 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 
POLYANTHA, OR BABY RAMBLER ROSES—Concluded 
Catherine Zeimet. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (H. Poly.)—This 
is the popular Baby Pink Rose. 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 ev- 
erywhere in America they are planting it simply by 
the thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite 
the rage. It makes a handsome miniature Rose com- 
ing in sprays of three to five buds, and combines in 
beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all 
Kinds of floral work. Every grower should try some 
of these—not only in the greenhouse but in his gar- 
den. 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. 
MOSELLA (H. Poly.)—Bears large flowers for this 
class; center of flower chrome-yellow ; edges of petals 
shading out to creamy-white. A fine bedding Rose. 
MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH—One of the very finest 
types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It produces in 
constant profusion throughout the entire summer its 
pleasing delicate pink blooms in large trusses; also 
extra fine for pot culture. 
MARIE PAVIE—Of good size; very full and double; 
borne in large clusters; white flushed with carmine; 
delightfully perfumed; a great bloomer. 
PAQUERETTE—This is one among the very first Baby 
Rambler Roses sent out. The flowers are very double 
and pure white. This Rose has many favorites. 
PERLE d’OR—Nankeen-yellow with orange center; very 
novel and beautiful. This Rose is dividing honors 
with “Mile. Cecile Brunner” as a cut flower, being 
planted very largely for this purpose. A charming 
miniature Rose. 
PRIMULA—Considered by many to be the most popular 
of the Baby Rambler Roses. Grows to a height of 
two feet. Very hardy. Always in bloom. The color 
is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful car- 
mine-pink. For ourselves we are very fond of this Rose. 
PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE—A grand Baby Rambler 
Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a bright 
pink, flushed with yellow; extra. 
SCHNEEWITCHEN, SNOW WITCH—An ideal sort for 
garden culture, having a round, compact habit, with 
very full trusses of evenly disposed flowers, which 
are perfect in form and semi-double. Color glisten- 
ing ivory-white, with golden stamens; extra. 
Newer Varieties, and a 
Hardy Climbing RoOSe€S rev that are scarce 
Including the Ramblers, Cl. Polyanthas, Wichuraiana, Multifloras, 
Hybrid Noisettes, Setigera and Climbing Chinas. 
These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pillars, pergolas, arches, etc.; in 
fact, wherever a hardy climber is required. This list includes Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, etc. 
AMERICAN PILLAR—A single flowering variety of great 
beauty, which appeals to everyone. The flowers are of enor- 
mous size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of 
apple-blossom pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of 
yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches, 
and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 
They last in perfection a long time, and are followed by 
brilliant red hips or berries, which are carried late into the 
winter; and as the plant frequently retains its lovely green 
foliage until the end of November, it forms a beautiful 
decorative subject throughout the autumn months. 20 cents; 
two-year plants, 50 cents. 
CHRISTINE WRIGHT—A most exquisite new Rose, a cross be- 
tween Caroline Testout and an unnamed seedling; it is of 
strong climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark green foliage, 
which is immune to disease. The flowers are double, from 
three and one-half to four inches in diameter, borne singly 
and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in 
the fully expanded flower; in color a most refreshing bright 
wild-rose pink; it flowers profusely during June, and con- 
tinues more or less throughout the season. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY—A seedling from American 
Beauty with Wichuraiana and Tea blood in its veins. The 
introducers say of it: ‘‘Same color, size and fragrance as 
American Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. 
Good foliage, and better blooming qualitites. One plant of 
this new Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers -in 
June as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occa- 
sionally during the summer. Blooms three to four inches 
across; has proved perfectly hardy and stands heat and 
drought as well as any Rose in our collection.” This Rose 
has already made its mark, and wherever it has been planted 
it has pleased until today we sell it by the tens of thou- 
sands. You lose if you are slow to take hold of “Climbing 
American Beauty.” It grows and blooms. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN—This 
is a true ever-blooming Crimson Rambler, for at this writ- 
ing (August 1st) it is in full bloom in the garden with enor- 
mous heads of richest crimson. There has been a widespread 
demand for a Crimson Rambler that would bloom more than 
once. Here you have it. Everyone knows how Baby Rambler 
is always in bloom. This is simply a climbing form of the 
Baby Rambler, embracing all its good qualities. 15 cents; 
two-year plants, 40 cents. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET—Flowers when open run four inches and 
over in diameter. The center is built high, petals beautifully 
undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkable delicate 
shade of flesh-pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy- 
flesh in the center. The flowers are full and double, of deli- 
cate perfume; buds pointed. It very much resembles Sour. 
de Pres. Carnot in color. Superb. 15 cents; two-year 
plants, 40 cents. 
HIAWATHA—This Rose is just coming into its own, being 
largely forced in pots for Easter time and its good qualities 
as a grand outdoor climber are becoming known. There is 
no other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to 
be appreciated. Its flowers are about one and one-half 
inches across, and produced in long, pendulous sprays, with 
frequently from forty to fifty flowers on a spray. In color 
it is brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a 
mass of golden stamens—a glowing combination of colors, 
which can be seen at a great distance, and which does not 
tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. The plant is 
of strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foliage, 
which js retained until late in fall. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents.
