NEw FLORAL GUIDE, 
SPRING 1911._ 
RUGGED RUGOSA ROSES 
‘T) UGOSA 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, mcuntains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or planting on the lawn with shrubbery. 
TWO CHOICE DOUBLE RUGOSAS 
Sir Thomas Lipton (White Century)—This grand Rose requires no 
recommendation beyond the testimonials of those 
who have tried it. We consider it, without exception, the best double white 
Rose in its class; beautiful in foliage, early 
and constant in bloom, of most vigorous 
habit, ironclad constitution, producing a 
bush 5 or 6 feet high, and as great in diam- 
eter. The original bush on our grounds (10 
years old) grew to be 20 feet in circumfer- 
ence and was usually in bloom from the 
third week in May until November. Price, 
good mailing plants, 25c. each; larger size, 
35c., postpaid. Two-year bushes, 50c. and 
75c. Extra three-year bushes, $1.00 and 
$1.50, by express. (See cut.) 
(Double Pink)—A mag- 
New Century nificent new Rose, the 
result of a cross between the lovely ever- 
blooming 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”? Ever-blooming Rose. 
It should be planted in good rich ground 
to induce vigorous growth, and continuous 
bloom. Price, 20c. each; larger size, 25c.,

Introduced by the Conard & Jones Co. A mag- 
nificent Rose; a splendid acquisition in this
