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 hkely to 

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

 carefully protected. 



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

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

 pendable variety, very much hke a Hj^brid 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 

 foliage, 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, paUng at the 

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

 weather. Quite hardy. 



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

 satisfactory white 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. 



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

 flowers (jt (klicate pink, with beautifully recurved petals hghter 

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

 ous grower and persistent bloomer. 



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. Plantier. (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 



strong, two-year, field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.00 for 10; 

 $65.00 per 100, except where otherwise priced. After May 1, all 

 Poly ant ha Roses will be supplied from pot-grown plants at the 

 following prices: $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10, except where otherwise 



priced. 



This is a group of everblooming dwarf Roses which produce 

 small flowers in large trusses or clusters. They are especiaUy 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 aU through the season, making a 

 brave display of color. 



CecileBrunner (Sweetheart). (Mme. Ducher, 1881.) A popular 

 little Rose, with exquisitely formed buds and flowers of 

 delicate pink, tinted shghtly with cream and deep rose. 



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

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



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

 Islooms of pure yellow, changing to creamy yellow. 



Golden Salmon. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1926.) New. Large 

 clusters of reddish orange blooms. The compact bushes bear 

 eoiitinuously and are most effective for massing. SI. 50 each. 



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

 clusters of pure white blooms. 



Mrs. W. H. Cutbush. (Cutbush & Son, 1906.) Soft pmk 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. 



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

 rieties. Produces huge clusters of small, light scarlet flowers 

 which become somewhat lighter as they mature. 



Scarlet Leader. (H. Wezelenburg & Son, 1927.) Large, blazing 

 orange-scarlet flowers in huge clusters. Very showy. $1.25 

 each. 



Suzanne Miller. (H. Wezelenburg & Son, 1927.) A continuoiis 

 blooming variety with large clusters of cherry-red flowers. 

 $1.25 each. 



Imported Granulated Peat Moss. The ideal au-year 



rose-mulch. Large 



bale, $4.00; 10 bales, $35.00, f.o.b. Boston. Trial bale, $1.50.
