CLASS of miniature Roses de- 
A rived 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 
While Europe has 
appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning 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.

early till late. They are hardy. 
ATROPURPUREA—This variety completely hides the plant 
with its deep purplish-red flowers in immense clusters. We 
believe this fine variety will supersede Baby Rambler or Madame 
Norbert Levavasseur. We think it a better bloomer, and the 
color is a decided improvement over that variety. 20 cents; 
two-year plants, 50 cents. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN—This Rose was formerly named 
“Louise Welter."’ Its flowers are large and so much like Tau- 
sendschoen, that it has been rechristened ‘Baby Tausend- 
schoen.”’ It is a bush form of the ‘Climbing Tausendschoen”’ 
or “Thousand Beauties,” having all the charm in the variable 
coloring in its flowers that its parent has, being firm white, 
delicately flushed pink, changing to deep rosy-carmine. This 
is a splendid Rose. Try it. 25 cents; two-year plants, 5: 
cents. :

ERNA TESCHENDORFF—A sport from ‘‘Madame ANgybert 
Levavasseur,”’ which it resembles with regard to habit of growth 
and foliage, etc. The flowers are of a deep crimson color, 
flushed with carmine, resembling the ageing 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 is said to be the darkest Poly yantha in 
existence. It is much sought after in America to Bicot in pots 
during the winter and for Easter time. 25 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents. 
JESSIE—This new Baby Rambler is an ideal Rose for massing, 
bedding or for pot culture. The flowers, which are produced 
in huge clusters, areof abright cherry-crimson color which does 
not fade. Superb. The best of all the Baby Ramblers for 
pot culture. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.

color; not fading like Baby Rambler.

nium-pink with distinct showy center

ing as a whole a charming. combi- 
nation that cannot be beaten. The 
color is irresistible. The plant grows 
like a. weed and the flowers are 
nearly “‘immortelle’”’ in their lasting 
qualities... We believe that they w ill 
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.
