HARDY “IRONCLAD” RUGOSA ROSES 
RS Hardy Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids seem just suited for our North American climate, 
39 
as they are so tough. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, 4 to 6 feet high and very orna- 
mental. 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, seashore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or planting on the lawn with 
| shrubbery or in isolated groups. Rugosa Roses on their ‘‘Own Roots” are scarce, hence higher in price, 
|)but we offer only ‘‘Own Root’’ stock of these, because they give so much better satisfaction than 
Tf you want something unique, appropriate and 
'“ Budded Plants,’’ and really cost less in the long run. 
| permanent, try below setof six on your lawn.

and entire freedom from insects, rust and disease.

NEW CENTURY (Double Pink) 
''This magnificent New Rose is 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 a clear flesh pink with bright red cen- 
tre 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 ‘‘ Iron Clad ’’ Ever- 
Blooming Rose, for besides being perfectly hardy 
it is entirely free from the attacks of insects, rust 
or blight, and is a real iron-clad continuous blooming rose,
