—— 



RUGOSA ROSES and their Hybrids seem just suited for our North American climate as they are so 

 tough and hardy. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, four to six feet high and very ornamental. 

 Their dark, rich leathery foliage is oddly wrinkled, shiny and remarkably free from insect pests. 

 Some bloom all Summer, others but once, but are followed in the Autumn with a profusion of beautiful 

 orange red or crimson fruits. The plants are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most trying places; sea- 

 shore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or planting on the lawn with shrubbery.

 best double white _ Rose in its 

 class; beautiful in foliage, 

 early and constant in bloom, 

 of most vigorous habit, iron- 

 clad constitution, produc- 

 ing a bush 5 or 6 feet high 

 and as great in diameter.

 grounds (10 years old) 

 grew to be 20 feet in cir- 

 cumference and was usu- 

 ally in bloom from the 

 third week in May until 

 November. Price, good 

 mailing plants, 25c. each; 

 larger size, 35c, postpaid.

New Century gBKni' 



magnificent new Rose is the result of 1 

 a cross between the lovely ever-bloom- 

 ing Rose Clotilde Soupert and the hardy 

 Rosa Rugosa Alba. The flowers are 3 to 4 

 inches across, perfectly full and double and 

 borne in elegant clusters. The color is clear 

 flesh pink with bright red center and having all the 

 petals widely bordered with fine creamy white; it is 

 very sweet and has the delightful fragrance of the wild 

 rose or sweet brier. It has been called the "Ironclad" 

 Everblooming Rose. It should be planted in good rich 

 ground to induce vigorous growth, and continuous bloom. 

 Price, 20c. each; larger size, 25c, postpaid. Two-year 

 plants, 40c; extra size, 50c, by express.

*R0SA RUGOSA MAGNIFICA 



* Introduced by the Conor d & Jones Co. A mag- 

 nificent Rose; a splendid acquisition in this 

 valuable class. Its foliage and habit of growth 

 are quite as fine as "New Century" and "Sir 

 Thomas Lipton" described above, and its 

 flowers, we think, surpass anything in this line 

 yet introduced. The color is brilliant carmine, 

 which in the buds have a depth and richness 

 beyond description. This shades to a rosier hue, 

 as the flowers open full. Size is often four to 

 five inches across. Deliciously fragrant and 

 will thrive where others fail. Price, one-year 

 plants , 7 5c . each , postpaid . Two-year size ,$1.25, 

 and three-year size, $2.00, by express.
