ERSONALLY, we consider these two of the most interesting and valuable [| 
pages in our Catalog and real Rose lovers will look upon them in the same 
way. The Rose is a very large family with a great many distant relatives— 
some of the most extraordinary we offer here; some of them carry with them 
the fragrance of our Grandmothers’ gardens, some are of great historical 
value. All (except the Green Rose and Leonie Lamesch) are entirely hardy 
and all are easy to grow. 
Persian Yellow (Aen This variety and Harrison’s Yellow are the showvest 
Briar Yellow Roses in cultivation. Persian Yellow cannot 
be recommended too highly; its moderately full flowers are a deep golden yellow color 
ana the young leaves have the fragrance of the Sweet Briar. It blooms freely under 
ordinary treatment but requires care in pruning; the head should be well thinned and 
the shoots that are left for flowering should be allowed to remain long. Established 
plants should be pruned very little. _ 2-yr. size only, 50c. each, by exp. (See cut.)

THE SCOTCH ROSES (Rosa Spinosissima)

flowers have the simple charm of the single rose and quantities of them 
on the bush before opening look like little balls. We offer two colors, both!
