NEWER VARIETIES 
Polyantha, or Baby Rambler Roses 
ini Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. 
AOR rae The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy. 
Whlie Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just be- 
entire plant with bloom all through summer and fall. 
Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses. 
They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover the 
ginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and anyone who attempts to handle Roses without including this class 
will bump into something real hard. They are useful, either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effects. They com- 
pletely hide the plant with bloom from early till late.

1911.) —This Rose was formerly

Tausendschoen that it has been re- 
christened “Baby Tausendschoen.”’ 
It is a bush form of the “‘Climbing 
Tausendschoen” or “Thousand Beau- 
ties,” having all the charm in the 
variable coloring in its flowers that 
its parent has, being firm white,

deep rosy-carmine. This is a splen- 
did Rose. Try it. 20 cents; two- 
year plants, 50 cents.

the dazzling color of ‘“‘Gruss an Teplitz,”’ This variety does 
not lose its color in the hottest sun and has no purple 
shades. It has received many awards on the continent, and

much sought after in America to bloom in pots during the 
winter and for Easter time. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c. 
GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913.)—Golden-yellow buds

all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose is 
of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet of deep 
cerise or Geranium-pink with distinct showy center of pure 
white; florets not crowded but of beautiful arrangements, 
making as a whole a charming combination that cannot be 
beaten. The color is irresistible. The plant grows like a 
weed and the flowers are nearly “immortelle” in their last- 
ing qualities, We believe that they will outlast almost any 
other Rose in existence with their stiff paper-like texture. 
This pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and will make 
a sensation as soon as known in this country. Awarded 
gold medal, {5 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.

ANNA MULLER—This Rose is very much the same as the 
Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of its flowers, 
which are a shiny, brilliant pink produced in the greatest 
profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid companion to 
the other excellent members of this family. This is the orlg- 
inal pink Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR—This is 
the original Baby Rambler, daddy of them all. It is in bloom 
all the time, flowers in large clusters of brightest crimson. It 
grows to a height of eighteen inches and hides the plant with 
its bloom. A most wonderful Rose.

surely a beauty and a great addition to the Baby Ramblers.

pure white flowers in abundance. It has a fragrance similar

effect is beautiful ivory-white, shading towards the center 
to bright silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose. 
LE FONGEAU—Dark ted, blooms in large clusters. A choice 
variety. ;
