Persian Yellow Rose 



TEA ROSES 



This is a group of exquisitely shaped Roses, which bloom freely 

 throughout the entire season. In general they resemble the Hy- 

 brid Teas so much that they may be planted with them and 

 receive the same treatment. As a rule they are more Ukely to 

 suffer damage in winter, and, in consequence, should be more 

 carefully protected. They make generally satisfactory pot 

 plants either in window or cool greenhouse, blooming as a rule 

 with greater steadiness than the Hybrid Teas. 



Harry Kirk. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1907.) Beautifully formed 

 yellow buds and cup-like, straw-yellow flowers. A very de- 

 pendable variety, very much like a Hybrid Tea in vigor and 

 hardiness. 



Lady Hillingdon. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) One of the dainti- 

 est flowers imaginable. Usually soft golden yellow with tints 

 of apricot and orange. A wiry, upright grower with beautiful 

 fohage, and very hardy for a Tea and grows to notable per- 

 fection in Massachusetts. 



Maman Cochet. (P. Cochet, 1892.) Very large and double 

 flowers of the old type of Teas. Bright pink, pahng at the 

 edges. One of the most satisfactory generally, especially in cool 

 weather. Quite hardy. 



William R. Smith. (W. R. Smith, 1908.) Pomted buds and 

 flowers of dehcate pink, with beautifully recurved petals hghter 

 at the edges and sometimes tinted with cream. A very vigor- 

 ous grower and persistent bloomer. 



White Maman Cochet. (John Cook, 1896.) One of the most 

 satisfactory wliite Roses, much hke Wilham R. Smith and 

 Maman Cochet, but pure white, with a touch of green at the 

 centre. A vigorous grower and blooms exceptionally well, es- 

 pecially in autumn. 



Each of the above Tea Roses, strong two-year, field-grown plants, 

 $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $80.00 per 100 



BOURBON OR HYBRID CHINA 



This group of Roses is practically extinct, very few being in 

 American commerce, and it is considered doubtful in which 

 section the following variety belongs. Some of the best informed 

 authorities class it as a Hybrid Noisette. 



Mme. Piantier. (Plantier, 1835.) A very large, bushy shrub, 

 growing 6 to 10 feet high and as much through, producing 

 enormous quantities of double, attractive, snow-white flowers 

 early in the season. This Rose used to be very popular, and 

 most of the old-fashioned, white bush Roses found in old-time 

 gardens are this variety. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. 



POLYANTHA ROSES 



This is a group of everblooming dwarf Roses which produce 

 small flowers in large trusses or clusters. They are especially used 

 for bordering paths of Hybrid Perpetuals or shrubs, and no other 

 plant produces such a continuous display of color throughout the 

 entire season. 



Baby Rambler (Mme. Norbert Levavasseur). (Levavasseur, 

 1903.) A splendid bloomer, producing a tremendous quantity 

 of light purple-red blooms all through the season, making a 

 brave display of color. 



Baby Tausendschon (Louise Walter). (Walter, 1909.) A 

 rather vigorous variety, growing, perhaps, 3 feet high, pro- 

 ducing large sprays of flowers almost identical with the Chmb- 

 ing Tausendschon. 



Cecile Brunner. (Mme. Ducher, 1881.) A popular Uttle Rose, 

 with exquisitely formed buds and flowers of dehcate pink, 

 tinted shghtly with cream and deep rose. 



Chatillon Rose. (Nonin, 1923.) New. Semi-double, cup- 

 shaped blooms of lasting deep rose-pink in large clusters. 



George Elger. (E. Turbat & Co., 1912.) Small, though shapely 

 blooms of pure yellow, changing to creamy yellow. 



Katharina Zeimet. (P. Lambert, 1901.) Large and nimierous 

 clusters of pure white blooms. 



Mrs. W. H. Cutbush. (Cutbush & Son, 1906.) Soft phik flow- 

 ers borne in very large clusters, having much the same effect as 

 Orleans and Baby Rambler, but offering a pleasing contrast 

 to them in color. 



Orange King. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1923.) New. A new shade 

 in Polyantha Roses — yellowish orange. The plant is of vigor- 

 ous habit and bears large clusters of bloom. $1.25 each. 



Orleans. (Levavasseur, 1910.) One of the most showy va- 

 rieties. Produces huge clusters of small, hght scarlet flowers _ 

 which become somewhat lighter as they mature. 



Yvonne Rabier. (E. Turbat & Co., 1919.) Rather vigorous 

 grower, with excellent, bright green fohage. Produces large 

 clusters of well-formed small white flowers. 



Each of the above Polyantha Roses, strongtwo-y ear, field-grown plants, 

 unless otherwise priced, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $80.00 per 100 

 Pot-grown plants of a number of varieties (a list of which will be 



sent upon request) for planting after May 15, $1.25 each; $11.00 for 



10; $90.00 per 100. 



Imported Granulated Peat Moss. The ideal au-year 



— rose-mulch. Large 



bale of 8 bushels, $4.00; 10 bales, $35.00, f.o.b. Boston.
