The “POLAR” Collection 
HE “Polar” collection of twelve hardy Roses, named below, are 
unequaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of form, 
richness of color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to 
getinthat number. The first and second sizes will bloom this year, 
and the third will make fine plants for next season’s flowering. Where 
twelve sorts are wanted, we believe it would be impossible to improve 
on this selection, and even if more are wanted a larger number of col- 
lections could be obtained with the best results. Want of space alone pre- 
vents us from illustrating each one, and where all are so good it was diffi- 
eult to select for illustrating. :

deep, brilliant pink, shaded toward the centre with rich carmine crimson.
