FOR USE IN CEflETERIES.-It is difficult to 

 conceive anything more appropriate, beautiful 

 and enduring for covering graves and plots in 

 cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. It creeps 

 along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy, growing 

 ten feet in one season and forming a Dense mat of very 

 dark green, lustrous foliage. 



The Flowers are produced in lavish profusion, in 

 clusters, on the ends of the short side branches, after 

 the June Eoses are past, from the first week in July 

 throughout the month, and sparingly for the rest of 

 the season. They are single, pure white, with a 

 golden yellow disc, five to six inches in circumference, 

 and have the strong fragrance of the Banksia Eoses. 

 The contrast between the satiny white of the petals 

 and the golden yellow disc is sharp and pleasing, and 

 is one of the distinctive charms of the beautiful Hardy 

 Memorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant 

 when in bloom, a mass of great snowflakes with the 

 rich, dark green showing here and there. 



But its use is not confined to Cemeteries.— 



Planted in the Eose garden, alone or among other 

 Eoses, and trained upright to a stake, it may be had 

 from three to six feet high, as desired, and it will send 

 sprays of flowers drooping downward, making the 

 prettiest sight imaginable. Trained over a gateway 

 it forms a perfect bower, or it can be trained to a fence 

 or house with equal success. As a pot plant it is 

 unique and beautiful, in short it is the most useful and 

 unique of all Eoses. It has been largely used through- 

 out the famous park system of Boston for covering 

 rocky slopes, embankments and such places as it was 

 jdesirable to cover quickly with verdure. It quickly 

 adapts itself to all conditions of growth, whether bar- 

 ren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, shady nook or 

 sun-kissed slope, and no more fitting place can be 

 found for it than running through the grass.
